I have to say that at least I was only down $125 today, I should have been up around $600.

I entered long EUR around 8:30 EST at 1.1184, and long GBP at 1.6060, looking for about 40 pips. After several minutes I decided to close these trades as they weren't going anywhere. I got out at about -$20 each. Half an hour later they shoot up way past my projections.

Later I am in a long USDCAD trade at 1.3955. After 2 hrs, I get out at $30 up and call it a day. I just looked at the chart again and the damn thing went to my original limit of 1.3985.

Frustrating!!!!!

If I had stayed in, I would have doubled my account for this week.

If if if if.....
