Lee, so close.
Price fluctuates. Sometimes more some less. If you expect it. It changes everything.


I would say that comes with experience.

Do you mean a trader gets some kind of “trade feeling” with experience?

“short line trader” which means you should put lower profit target, as well with the loss/risk protection. based on your chart, order may @127.75, but when it fail it should taken out @128.27.
how to avoid the trap of the transaction ?
practice may the only thing to get close to it. it’s not about “trade feeling”, but how we really well know with current pair behaviour.
one more thing to minimize such ‘trap’, use Major Support-resistance, I do mean major you had to draw these line at daily basis, and use the line chart. :).
