Once again we had another day where we able to get out of trade that didn't hit our target. After the NFP report we had a strong move upwards in the Euro which made a nice breakout of the EU session range. However because it was a news candle, I did not take it. I waited until I got another breakout which happened at 8:50 and I entered 3 lots long at 2923 with a stop at 2830 and a target at 2978. Unfortunately the movement seemed to be over and the price just hovered around that area and stayed there throughout the day. Because the NFP is such a big mover I held my trade longer than normal and finally closed out at the close of the 2pm candle at 2932 because I was able to get out with a small profit. It's been a weird week and I'm hoping the market will give us some good trades next week. Have a great weekend everyone. Cheers! ~Big Pippin
