Comments: This is a naughty trade, counting on a daily reversal at a major resistance zone. I knew the entry wouldn’t be spot on, hoping it respects the structure. I might pull my SL further if it gets closer - I do not want to be the victim of the inevitable stop hunt…

Got a few entry orders from the weekend (and last week) that I’m adding now…

Pips Gained/Lost: :frowning_face:
Trade 1: -60 pips
Trade 2: -60 pips
Comments: This has been open for ages - or that’s what it feels like! Just will not behave… it’s another one to have faith in the long term trend and hope news doesn’t cause it to ignore structure too much. Fingers crossed…

EDIT, this just didn’t work, had to nurse it back to a relatively pain free loss. Not sure I can learn much - other than to keep doing what I’m doing and not question too much - keep my trade psychology in check.
H4 candle at support pulled the cord on this one.

EDIT: manually exited this as a 22 day trade ‘smoke out’. Nursed DD for most of that duration, watched close given the stressful journey, took profit based on price action and previous structure - just wasn’t worth the gamble. Profit… :money_mouth_face:

EDIT, this was a textbook stop hunt, T2 was looking good and in profit and counter trend spike tripped us, annoying considering what was on the table prior. SO… we reentered at the peak of the spike with a chunky short hoping to catch the correction… So far so good :slight_smile:

Re entry T3: +46 pips
Re entry T4: +101 pips

I re-entered twice on this in the end having got the initial move wrong but having faith in the overall trend. It paid off and having scaled in I’m now taking some off the table
