Why this was a frustrating trade!

The last couple months have been pretty frustrating for me.  It has been a combination of the illiquid summer markets and me trying to get my head around some different strategies that I have been learning from

Rob Booker, Chris Lori and Hector Trader.

BTW, Chris Lori just started his new website and you should really check it out.  I watch all of his new videos and blog.  They really help me get another prospective on the markets.  Everyone looks at the markets in a different way and you can always learn a thing our two from any professional trader.

I did a trade on the US Dollar / Canadian Dollar and ordinarily I think I would have made out like a bandit, but these are turbulent times and the USD/CAD isn’t the most predictable pair to trade.

I have been burned on a few other trades in the past month where I should have taken what the market was giving, but I decided to hang on and got too greedy.  The same goes for this trade…

So the moral of this story is that I should have closed this trade when I was up about 50 pips.  The result was I got stopped out for an 18 pip loss.  Not earth shattering, but if I have to choose between losing and winning…anyway, check out the video:
