eur/aud stop moved to b/e at 4343.

eur/aud closed at target 4318 for +25 for 33 risked. MAE 0 (nice). I'll leave the data logging on as MFE is obviously 25, but I haven't got a technical exit other than my target. Be interesting to see what the MFE eventually 'would' have been and my eventual technical exit level.

Just moved stop to BE on aud /yen

eur/aud just gave technical exit at 4317 (+26) which was +1 better than my target based exit. MFE 41. Would have been nice to have known that in advance. And as I look at it now, it was [in potentia] known in advance - it was the 4300 level which is about as technical as any other level.

Looking at the price action/candle shape around my actual target level, it wasn't showing a massive disinclination to go lower. And that level (4318) is now showing potential resistance. If it weren't for NFP I'd be considering another short setup on a confirmed break below the 4300 level.

Already taken two trades. A long gbp/chf on a tight stop at 07:15 which foundered at 07:46 and a long cad/chf also at 07:15 at 9031 with a stop at 9017. It's currently down 9 pips which is why I'm sure you won't think I'm trying to pull a fast one by retrospectively posting trades.

Long eur/usd at 3181. Stop 3150.
