The stop was pretty wide so I entered on a small position.  The break was pretty decisive so I added another position.  However, the second position had a lower stop loss than the first position.  In hindsight, that made no sense because they were essentially the same position and should have had the same stop.

Regardless, I got stopped out on both positions for a -380 pip loss on the total postion.  I am OK with this because it was a good signal and I kept the lot sizes small so I didn’t lose too much in $ amount terms.
