Hi, Steve
Do you use money stop? Can swing low be a safer SL?

GB/USD Long Trade Result BE+

I wasn't around to manage the Trade when I saw it Droing I Exited at BE+

Even if I had put my Stop at the Swing Low I would have still been Exiting

Seeing how Price moved through the Day would you rather be Buying or Selling??

Hi Justin,

Even if I had put my Stop at the Swing Low I would have still been getting out at BE+

I find a 10 Pip Stop usually works for me

If Price moves 10 Pips or more against me I am usually on the Wrong Side of Price

You can see today my 10 Stop was safe I was just afraid Price would continue to Drop

Later I would have Re-Entered Long

It's only now that Price is starting to Turn Over to Favour Sells

Hi, Steve
Sorry for the hindsight commentary but it looks somewhat wired to me. The zone you marked above your entry (1.25400) contains some inefficient areas and engulfing candles. Can you tell me why you didn't take them seriously? Actually, I guess you had to look for sell oppotunity or take profit quickly when you traded based on 1M chart...? Anyway, hindsight is 20-20 vision .....

Your original target could be hit sooner or later. I also think you trading hours are often too late (near end of NY session). I know that's because you have a full time job now. When you find more time for trading next year as you said, you may find better opportunities. There were a bunch of good opportunities before your trading. Usually, I finish trading before regular market open (9:30 am NY time). As far as nat gas is concerned, 1-2 hours before the regular open is the best time for trading. One of the reasons I don't like day trading is it requires me to sit for hours watching PC screen. This is especially true if you're 1M trader.

Your directional bias was pretty accurate as usual. Seems target was too ambitious..... Good trade anyway.
