EURUSD BUY

Entry: 1.15759

SL: 1.15690

TP: 1.16067

Entered: Aug 18, evening

Status: Currently +2.1RR unrealized

EURUSD BUY still running

Entered last night off a clean BOS + order block retest on the 15m. No chasing, just waited for price to come to me.

📍 Entry: 1.15759 🛑 SL: 1.15690 🎯 TP: 1.16067

Currently sitting at +2.1RR. SL already moved to protect the trade. Let's see how NY session treats it.

Here's why I took this EURUSD buy 👇

1️⃣ Price swept liquidity below a key low 2️⃣ Broke structure to the upside (BOS) on the 15m 3️⃣ Pulled back into the order block instead of chasing 4️⃣ Entered on confirmation, SL below the OB, TP at the next external liquidity level

📍 Entry: 1.15759 🛑 SL: 1.15690 🎯 TP: 1.16067

This is the exact confluence I look for before I risk a dime. No feeling, just structure.

Still holding, still above entry, still respecting the trend. Haven't touched anything — letting the trade breathe toward TP.

📍 Entry: 1.15759 🛑 SL: 1.15690 🎯 TP: 1.16067

RR right now: ~2.1R and climbing. This is what patience looks like on a chart.

The reason I don't take profit early on trades like this EURUSD buy is because the setup already told me where it wants to go. If I cut it at 1R just because I'm scared, I break my own edge. Discipline isn't holding blindly — it's trusting a plan you already tested.

Copy the trade, copy the process.

People focus on entries. Nobody talks about the SL placement that actually keeps you in the game.

On this EURUSD buy, my SL sits below the order block — not some random number, not "just in case." If price gets there, my read was simply wrong, and that's fine.

Protect capital first. Profit is the byproduct.

No change in bias. Structure is still intact, price hasn't come close to invalidation. This is the boring part of trading nobody shows you — waiting.

We're getting closer to target on the EURUSD buy 🎯

If price taps 1.16067, that's the trade fully playing out exactly as the structure suggested. I'll post the close the moment it hits.

Stay tuned — result post coming

Whatever the outcome by close — TP hit, still running, or stopped out — the process stays the same tomorrow: wait for the sweep, wait for the BOS, wait for the retest. No shortcuts.

Pair: EURGBP

Direction: BUY

Entry: 0.85468

Original SL: 0.85408

TP: 0.85641

Result: Ran to +2RR, retraced, closed at breakeven (0.85470) — stopped out on a widened night spread

This EURGBP buy hit +2RR, I moved SL to entry, and got stopped on the retrace. That's the system doing exactly what it's built to do — protect gains, not guarantee them.

📍 Entry: 0.85468 🛑 SL: 0.85408 → moved to BE after 2RR 🎯 TP: 0.85641 Result: Breakeven

Real talk: overnight spreads can eat a trade alive even when your read was correct.

This EURGBP buy was 2RR in profit before the retrace found my BE stop — partly helped along by spread widening in the low-liquidity hours. Lesson: size and stop placement need to account for that, not just the setup.

📍 Entry: 0.85468 🛑 SL: 0.85408 🎯 TP: 0.85641 Closed: BE

Why I took the EURGBP buy in the first place 👇

1️⃣ Liquidity sweep below the recent low 2️⃣ BOS confirmed on the 1H 3️⃣ Retest of the order block 4️⃣ Entry on confirmation, SL below the OB, TP at the next liquidity pool

📍 Entry: 0.85468 🛑 SL: 0.85408 🎯 TP: 0.85641

Setup was right. Market just didn't extend far enough this time.

This is the exact reason I move to breakeven once a trade proves itself at 2RR.

EURGBP buy gave me that cushion, then reversed. Instead of watching a winner turn into a loser, I walked away flat.

📍 Entry: 0.85468 🛑 SL: 0.85408 🎯 TP: 0.85641 Result: 0 risk, 0 reward — capital fully intact

Curious how you all handle this 🗳️

Trade hits 2RR overnight, then starts retracing hard. Do you: A) Trail SL tighter to lock more profit B) Leave it at breakeven and let it play out C) Manually close at the 2RR mark

📍 Entry: 0.85468 | 🛑 SL: 0.85408 | 🎯 TP: 0.85641 — closed BE

No frustration over this one. EURGBP buy did its job — ran green, protected itself, closed flat.

The goal was never "win every trade." The goal is stay in the game long enough for the setups that do run to TP to matter more than the ones that don't.

📍 Entry: 0.85468 🛑 SL: 0.85408 🎯 TP: 0.85641

Two trades, two outcomes today. EURUSD buy is still pushing toward TP. EURGBP buy hit 2RR and got stopped at breakeven overnight.

Same process on both. Same risk management. That's what consistency actually looks like — not every trade printing, just every trade following the plan.

📍 EURGBP — Entry: 0.85468 | SL: 0.85408 | TP: 0.85641 | Closed: BE

The reason i move SL to breakeven even if the trade might still hit TP is because I don't get to know that in advance. Once price gives me 2RR of confirmation, protecting the trade matters more than chasing the full target. This EURGBP buy is a textbook example — it protected me from a full retrace back to entry and beyond.

📍 Entry: 0.85468 🛑 SL: 0.85408 🎯 TP: 0.85641 Closed: BE

Result: breakeven. Process: intact. Confidence in the system: unshaken.
