2 long O/S at 2.0005.
95 pips insurance to cover potential stop risk at 1.9955. Locked in a guaranteed 45 pips on the original 5 long in a difficult market this week. Do your worst Big Bears. 1 lot O/S - SL and TP unchanged.

Thanks for clarifying. Now I understand.

I was thinking usually people will have slightly bigger SL when the TP is bigger. I got stopped out 3 times this week because my SL is 10 pips too small.

Enjoy your weekend too.
That keeps happening to me too. Was it just with GBP/USD? This pair seems to be a culprit for that. The subject of different behaviour for different currency pairs fascinates me at the moment. Perhaps there is a thread, or someone should start one. (At least someone who knows what they're talking about)
Have a good weekend. In fact I'm out of it for now, may hang around to observe and learn...
Gone to a better place

My chart looks similar to yours indicating South move. However zoom out a time frame and the trend still looks up!

A brake below 1.9950's will probably take pound to the 20's where buyers will jump in most likely
Whatever you do, just keep doing it in a dicipline manner.

Seems to have settled at dail pivot point, 200 ema on 5 minute chart, 50 on the hour and doji on the daily with little to stir it in any direction so I'm calling it a day I also begin to sense a change in sentiment, european governments grumbling about euro strength, French elections this weekend euro might reach for it's high at 1.3680all effect the £ lots of housing data from uk early next week if strong may give £ a boost, see you all Monday - don't be late

The past few days have consisted of setting up TLs and breaking them in a wavering range. A trend traders nightmare and a range traders dream.

WATCHOUT

[MORE ON US EMBASSY THREAT] A German newspaper says that an Iraqi group is planning such attacks (on the US embassy in Germany). If true, it seems the "insurgency" is now broadening its horizons and looking to hit US interests outside of Iraq. Since, the [USD] has ticked lower, but there has been no real selloff. The Iraqi group's plans caused the US to raise the threat level in Germany.
