USD/CAD – Buy Limit

This was a Buy Limit good for +24 pips. Take profit was set higher but we exited on a Friday at around 3pm. It was not  planned as a long term trade

This could be called “USD/CAD – Buy Limit with a Stop Loss and Take Profit set, exited manually”

GBP/JPY

 

This was a short trade. I believe some statements out of Japan (not on Calendar) moved the price around the time I was getting into the trade. I got short a little lower than i wanted to. Actually I didn’t have one click trading enabled in MT4 (We need to if we are scalping)

I exited the trade quickly for a few pips, though it did move lower.

The hourly chart shows how things were looking at the time. Below that, I show it zoomed in.
