I shorted at 107.76 right before it made a quick rally up, but I held on because I was sure of it to go back down (and it didn't hit my stop loss).

Sure enough, I saw it stall, then start heading back down, and I bought another lot at 107.77.

I exited completely already a little early, when I saw it start to encounter just a bit of resistance at about 107.59 (or maybe it was .60)

But I made +17~18 pips. I wish I held on a little longer, hindsight is 20/20, but profit is profit.
