I got stopped out at -73 pips.

In hindsight, this is a trade that I should have re-entered.  It was a perfect surprise box the second time.  The first box may not [...]

EURCHF Trade

Another attempted surprise box trade.

Short 1 AUDCAD @ 8097 Stop @ 8159 (-59) Target @ 7788 (+309)

As you can see, price did hit my target, but I diddn’t have the balls to stay in.  Price was jumping 50 pips at a time sometimes and I wanted [...]
