CAD long @9950 stopped at BE+7

GBPJPY short @ 125.59 stopped -62pips, [email protected] stopped +26 pips
Short@ 125.46 was interesting: as soon as the trade went on I've realized I'm wrong, this time the breakout might be real, so I manually closed trade at BE, and went long @126.27 with SL125.31, triple the normal position size, closed +202 pips.

USDJPY similar situation, 1st short @79.88 stopped out -51pips, 2nd [email protected] closed @ BE.

After backtesting, I came to conclusion. I am changing the fractional % risk to fixed dollar amount risk following the simple formula:
fixed dollar amount risk / SL pips / pip value.

I will use it grading the trades into: high risk - low dollars amount, medium risk - medium dollar amount, low risk - high dollar amount.

The dollar amount is discretionary and it should be proportional to the size of account, meaning: use a fraction of an account larger than 10%.

EUR short@ 1.3389 SL 1.3570, 1.3516 - touch trade high risk

AUD long [email protected] SL:1.0627

USDCAD short [email protected] SL:1.0055 - but probably will cancel it if it moves down the amount of pips x2 risked without a retrace.

GBPUSD short on pin bar @1.5940 & 1.5888 - delay of my updates - trades from march 3rd. I was too greedy to take RR1:2 profit on the 1st trade, now it seems to be going back.
Also, if GBP froms a pin bar today I will place long trade orders.
