I would not take it though. better to have some move, see sentiment and wait for pull back.

btw, I am demo trading on FXPro broker. trading stocks but longer term. planning to open live with them and move half of my money there in summer. spread is large... it is not for day trading but I am looking for longer term trades. actually I am in some trades for already 4-5 weeks. looking for at least 3:1 to 10:1 risk reward. Getting there in some trades. Stocks are a lot different from currencies and commodities. and here I am learning to swing. never been able to swing trade. I am thinking of may be connecting my demo for discipline reason. probably will do it on weekend and in summer will resume live trading and connect to myfxbook right away.

   leaving so closed all trades. better than 1.5:1 and not far from take profits. I am pretty confident take profit would be hit but cannot take being 4-5 hours away without knowing what going on and with profit in. 80 pips on both. total 160.

Got lucky this time, anyway, I was happy as I preplanned this trade on both pairs. was waiting since Japan open and watching. Luck was that I was in front of PC when trigger happened.
I will post every trade here for now as picture.

I will be showing my stock trades as well here. gnna use part of my money to start trading it live since summer too. hopefully.

originally made mistakes on the first day when I did not check spread. i knew from time watching stocks on Sterling platform that spread was usually 1-2 ticks. so I did not pay attention and got into stock with almost 90 ticks spread.
then got it and statted trading methodically since then. had a couple of 2.5% losses and one big winner in amazon. closed few not performers for + and -. Now I have 4 trades . one already working and is 3:1. 3 is still in the works. looking for few new trades with reduced risk. want to add some shorts to portfolio.

Here my trades;











this are my all opened positions for now. You can see from open dates I am in these for a very long time

just moved stop to BE. German news was a good example how they run price to pick more orders but still resume overall trend.
I was pretty confident the trend will resume. now the question is what will happen around Pivot point as price is approaching. I am pretty confident my target can be reached. I have an hour before leaving so will be watching.
The only worry if my target is not reached by my departure is what that dude will be speaking about.

ok, went long. wanted to trade 2 pairs but g/u seems does not have much space. so doubled size after news. risking 2% to get at least 3% or better 4%. target around 1.3400
