based on what, it wasn't even a support or resistant point?
because of weekly candle open!
it was 3912 , and i thought that this week's candle shouldn't be a beaish candle!
the shape of the last week candle , says that this week shoud be bullish , to my opinion!
but it seems that i've made a mistake!

i hope you will cover the -30 pips soon.
hint: if you want to use the candle open or close as SL, make sure you cound the candle shadow and adding at least 10 pips above or below it.. and see if that area is strong or not.

but even that, your entry wasn't correct at all, cable was just starting a strong move to down, and there was a bad news expected to it.

Yeah,

The charts drive the news,
And the fundies, sure the heck supported it (the move).

"They." can do anything "They" want.
News, what's it matter?
Sometimes, it can trump everything. But the charts,
again were there.

Jobless claims in the U.K. rose 138.4K to 1.39M in February, marking the biggest drop in employment since record keeping began in 1971, and raised the claimant count rate to 4.3% from a revised reading of 3.9% in the previous month. Meanwhile, a separate report showed that average earnings including bonuses slipped to 1.8% during the three-months to January from a previous reading of 3.1%, which is the lowest level since 1991, and labor conditions are likely to deteriorate further throughout the first half of the year as the economy faces a deepening recession. The data foreshadows a dour outlook for private-spending as workers face a weakening labor market, and as businesses continue to slash their work force in an effort to reduce costs, economic activity is likely to weaken further as households and firms turn increasingly pessimistic towards the economy.

The release of the Bank of England minutes showed that they voted 9-0 to cut their benchmark rate by 0.50% at their last policy meeting. The central bank was also unanimous in deciding to print £75 billion in order to buy government bonds. The MPC said the scale of the purchases needs to target CPI as it still see it at risk for undershooting their 2% target. Policy makers will take its cue from inflation as to when it will end its efforts as they review the appropriate scale of purchases on a monthly basis. The BoE also forecasted that growth in the first quarter could be a dismal as the fourth quarter of 2008 which contracted by 1.5%.

Abu what I mean is entering a Trade near major NEWS announcements
I don't like that because my broker doesn't let me place a stoploss or even a limit and locks it up for about 5 to10 minutes you can't get out even manualy !!!
So I enter my trades mostly when there is NO news around. lol

I'am more comforatable on EUR/USD and CHF but I see cable has big moves.
