    o, forgot, its not friday . my rule is to not have any weekend trades. I like forex with no gaps,even though in reality it doesn't gap that much.

    stop moved to breakeven. Scaling out a half here at + 52 pips. letting the other run till it hits profit target or stop loss

    managed to quietly scalp +3 when the eurusd and usdchf formed some nice quiet , tight ranges, eurusd broke down , i wanted to buy but waited for usdchf to fall after hitting its 200 ema, its sold off a bit and i bought and eurusd jumped 4 pips and i made 3 ( -1 spread) .

    moved my stop further in to guarantee a + 25 ish pips on my second half so a guranteed 80 pip gain on this trade.

    today +114 pips

    pic didn't work.

    screw it

    getting risky , going long EURUSD as well as short USDCHF , risky trade but potential big rewards, if i get stopped out on the eurusd then itll be breakeven anyway.

    did a bit of by-the-side management on eurusd long, and my stop got hit for +13, considered taking +23 at an obvious 5 minute resistance level but tried to get a runner to the next R level and just moved my stop up, got hit but still positive.

    that's +127 in a day
