Looked to be bottoming out to my untrained eye.
Lets see if it hits target or not...

Not letting GC do it again to me tonight! (stopping me out after nearly giving me the target)

trying to be clever on this occasion cost me an extra 20 pips profit, as we have now gone through the target.
D'oh.

In an ideal world I agree that it makes sense to monitor a trade and take profit early if it looks to be turning etc, but then if that was always possible to do, you'd be able to call every single little turn in the day and capture just about all of the ticks available in a day!
Still working on how best to play these situations

Not sure if i'm gonna maintain this journal for the whole 100 trades.

Might stop at 50 and just update again once the other 50 trads have been taken.
