DislikedI was aware of GBPUSD not reaching it's peak, but I had confluence for the signal all over the board. EURUSD, NZDUSD, AUDUSD, USIDX, even oil.
Anyway, I took the trades on GBPUSD, AUDUSD and oil. Since I had to go away, I set up SL and TP. I hit all TP for a total of 135 pips.
But for the reason you stated, I used a bit bigger SL on GBPUSD. While AUDUSD was fully confirmed trade, it gave more pips than I aimed for. GBP just hit TP. Thank god it still worked.

Right now I'm at 173 banked pips, I'll try to catch another 27 to make it a nice round number, but due to the move and lower volatility, only 1/4 of normal position.
@Al.... although I had some issues with the system and I needed to twist it to fit my thought process... - THANKS. I did ok trading different way. But each trade I took was a struggle. 20-30 pips was an ok day. Now... 100 pips seems easy, if I have time to trade (100 pips used to be my weekly target; today I'm at 173). I'm not yet fully comfortable with it, but I am posting quite some trades up-front for my own sake. To prove to myself that either I can or can't do it this way. So far, so good.
