a lot can be what ever size you are trading i.e if you SB £'s per point or and actual FX lot ($10) or mini lot ($1). I prefer not to say what my size is on here, but post how many lots because I sclae out my trades. Thats the reason why I post "Target 1". At Target 1, I'll move my stop to b/e and scale out a couple of lots and move on to target 2 etc.

SHORT again 5 lots 611 stop 626 Target 1 581

As a matter of interest why are you so insistent on the short side despite such a strong up trend?

Just curious.

LMAO. Zuke.... what happened to your vow this morning ?

I know...and its cost be -40 pips for the day. At least I've managed to stop the rot and get a winning (albeit 20 pips) trade in. :eek:
