Did this because price has retraced for bar low and was eager to lock in some profit for the session.

Trailing stop hit for +10 that trade did reach +22 but moved back and was stopped out. glad i didnt lose anything.
may renter short cable looking for a smaller profit this time. but may stop for the day with the profit i already have and not get cocky after a succesful morning.

On reflection of this trade i will look at smaller profit targets if i ever trade this pair again. it moved up 26 and down 28 from my entry so there was potential for profit there.
So entry signal was fine just my discilpline was the problem

Euro +5 currently
