FX4,you are not alone
Last friday i sold the eur/gbp june contract with a gtd stop,for some reason i closed it for 33 pips on friday night,as you know it fell all week.
it gets worse, the gbp/usd is in a strong up trend,i saw a AB=CD for some reason i sold at D instead of buying,
so today i dug my alotment,i had just planted potatoes when the farmer turned up with a load of manure,i then spent 5 hours moving it and digging it in,my back aches
but im happy.
what im trying to say is you are a real trader as am i,most but not all will post trades done after the event boasting of pips made,these traders never make a losing trade.Why we make such silly mistakes is beyond me.I do know when i trade orders where i think price will go,instead of hiting the button for the market price i do better,ie it keeps me out of the market when i am wrong.
as you can see from my eur/gbp trade i cut my winners and run my losers, lol
