short 08098 stop 7 pips.

manually stopped out on this trade. This was tricky as i still believed it was a sell so re-entered sell.

But finally got a buy signal that i could not ignore and turned the day around and made money on the buy.

My SL is hit, I am stopped out.

It was not a good trading day for me, I did stupid mistakes.

I did not take the fake of Franky low (chart attached, it was a false break of pre Frankfurt on 5M), thinking that the low will break. Then changed bias 2 times in the range, which was really bad.

Then I actually took a decent entry on the Long during London, which I closed near the yesterday's London high. I could reason why it would not break, especially now after 15M bearish candle there.

My big mistake today was switching bias in a range, without waiting for high or low to break clearly.

Got out for a minor profit, but not a good trading day by me in any sense I would say. I have to review this & correct this.

It was a profitable session today.

I pre-emptively entered the Long with stops below the pre Frankfurt low, the target was 36 (but I did close some near the pre high of 26). This could break out much higher, but also could fall back from here.

I did not wait for a fakeout of the pre low. In hindsight the entry trigger could have been a lot better. It was the bar highlighted in the second screenshot.

I did add when I had a trigger near the low, which I don't normally do, but the SL was small, and I was ready to take that loss.

I'll not be trading tomorrow, see you on Friday.

I'm Long at about 75 on average. The price is right now above the high of yesterday's London high.

I'm Long at 59, with small stop below. London could break lower, that is a possibility.

Edit: My stop is at 556, just below the low.

My Stop is at BE now, I'll take some profits at 70 (if that comes), it is the low of the pre-Frankfurt.

I am down about 2 pips for the day. I'll walk away, that's for the best. It could have been much worse day.

I was down around 12 pips, but got back some on a Buy. Overall, this was a bad trading day for me (not in terms of outcome but in terms of process), I broke so many of my rules regarding risk.

Long at 952. It broke above the previous high, not the best trigger, so I'm entering half the size.

I'm out of the Long trade at the range high, my initial entry was stopped out. But I entered again at the low.

I've overtraded today, because my initial entry was bad, and my SL was hit because of that.

My initial SL was hit before I could move it lower of the Frankfurt low before it was hit. I made some profit today, but overall, my trading was not good, I took multiple entries, instead of just one.

This could break higher, or just form a range here. I don't have any strong reason to hold for the break, the first 2 hours of the session (Frankfurt & London open) are sideways (of course the session can change by the end of the session).

This week the volatility would be very high, I'll not be trading tomorrow.
