It was a busy day for me. The GBP/JPY long I took yesterday was stopped for 32 pips. Later today the GBP/JPY surged another 180 pips so I completely missed the move.
In the morning I managed to get a good entry short in the Euro (finally). I exited this trade for +31 pips. Later in the day I tried another short near 1.1020 but this time the pair was too volatile and I was stopped out right before it tanked to new lows for the day.
Finally we come to the biggest loser of the day, a USD/JPY short. This trade triggered about 15 minutes before the close. This should've been a red flag that this will be a stop hunt and not a legitimate breakout. I kept the trade hoping that my stop at 121.60 was far enough to keep me in the trade before the Asian session starts. I was wrong, the USD/JPY surged over 50 pips higher and stopped me out for 42 pips.
I can't say I'm happy with my performance today but at least it's a green day.
