Welcome to igmak's trade journal.
I usually trade GJ, GU, and UJ.
I always move SL to BE @ 30 pip profit or more
(This way I will not lose any trade)

I will post my trades here.

You are welcome to post any comments or suggestions.

really impressive

Just one question.

each time you set your target, why closed this position at a less-favorable price. I found that most of your trades can be filled if stick to your original plan.

Is there any reason behind this?
thanks
