Trading for fun gone wrong..shit. Later on made $100 trading early European session although that was borderline revenge trading...oh boy... -252.85 USD
1st trade was discretionary, my hand reached the mouse in a fraction of a second, before i realized what just happened i was short EURUSD, price dropped steadily to target..magic... too bad i got a partial fill(20k)..a partial in EURUSD..whatever.. Probably out of frustration i took another bite at the apple for a quick successful scalp. Later on i had a setup in AUDUSD...30 mins to grab 6 pips...yikes...I'm not a big fan of this pair. +125.24 USD

1st trade was another impulsive trade, i liked the massive reversal in upper trading band but price had ran quite a bit when i entered short E/U..risky business ..price dropped quickly..trade lasted seconds.. not sure what to do with these impulsive trades...usually it doesn't end well..maybe this time is different.. then a scratch in A/U followed by a nice setup in E/U that went pretty well... +149.27 USD
