Cancelled order. Priced went passed my marked FTA. Let's wait for a Ret on the next few days.

Price hit my TP. My sell order was SPOT ON, almost at the day swing high. Too bad i was asleep when the first M15 bar of the day breached 1.6000 and started working out towards the TP.

Lesson learnt: In a trade where confidence level is high (with major confluences), SL should not be moved to BE too quickly.

In this USDCHF trade, I moved SL to BE too quickly, and price immediately take me out of the trade, and work it's way south.

Update on USDCHF pending sell limit:

Too much traffic in the 4H chart. Not a good place to trade into.

Cancelled the pending sell limit.

Stopped out. Bad trade as it wasn't based on my rules of entering trades. Was planning to wait for a H1 SFP,but got impatient when spotted d MACD divergence and pulled the trigger few minutes before H1 candle closes.

Bad trade!!

2nd reminder. DO NOT MOVE SL TO BE too quickly UNLESS it makes sense, eg: upon a reversal bar on the same TF.

New trade in NZDUSD.

Short after double SFP at strong Resistance area.
Possible forming a RR back to the previous RM for a long setup.

Update on NZDUSD trade.

A good reaction on the first bar after the SFP bar. Good place to reduce some risk at this showed the SFP is now working.

SL moved to 2 pips above high of SFP bar because if price breaksthrough it, it directly invalidates the SFP setup.
