Forex Price Action Baby, No Technicals or Fundamentals...Trade #9 - Sold EUR/CAD (3/6/19)
However, I was stopped out of the trade several hours later by one tick before price starting moving in my favor.
And price eventually hit my target.

I really must give my trades more of an opportunity to work out, as I'm risking only 10 pips and could have easily been stopped out. However, on the flip side, it means that my Reward to Risk are extremely high...if I can withstand the many stop outs. I'm sure over time I will find that happy medium.

Last night I was stopped out by a tick...probably the spread took me out, before price reversed and eventually moved higher. The below chart shows the price action on the 1 min chart.
And price eventually hit my target.

This was another trade, this time stopped out by 3 pips, before price hit my stop.
Thus, my performance for the first quarter can be breakdown into one table. 15 trades equating to a 7% winning percentage, but my account has been draw down by just 4%.
So what's the lesson from the first quarter...to increase my stops by 10 pips to give my trades a chance or working. If I had done that, the account would be up 8% instead of down 4% and I would be on target to achieve my annual goal of $276. So lets see if the simple adjustment of adding 10 pips to my stop gives me better results in the second quarter.
