    Well, it is also a much smaller position than I usually take so I can afford to take a few extra pips. Presently, it seems to be making a move back up, but we'll see how it plays out.

  2. Took my profit because of the news from ECBs Trichet - and the market action.

    Taking $$$ off the table is always a good idea.

  4. I hope so. But sometimes we take out profits to early - because we lack patience?

  5. Ramdon Trader has a point - he's gunning for 200 or 400 pips - not just 30 or 50. If he also used a s/l, I think he could make it big.

  6. Hi Lou,

    Sorry that I use your thread to my own trades - but I just want to inform about what happened next with my trade. When the price came back and broke support, I went short again. I am now flat - with a 77 pips gain - because I must leave the screen, because I have other important things to do, and because there comes economic reports later today.

    From now on I will only publish my trades in my own thread.
