Small Surprise box trade:

Short 1 (100) GBPJPY @ 2956 Stop @ 3125 (-169) Limit @ 1956 (+1,000)

Very small surprise box but I have found that this type of small box can work on this pair so I entered the trade. Price made a strong move back into the box but was completely denied.

I got stopped out on this trade for a -198 pip loss.  I don’t think this was a bad trade but perhaps I should have exited earlier.  There was too much [...]
