Entry placed half way on trigger candle, stop loss placed beyond previous support, profit target placed at next support level. Risk to reward 1:2
Trade closed: stop reached
Comment:
Reviewing this trade, you can see the stop loss was reached briefly then priced continued down. The reason for the stop loss being reached was a speech by the president of the ECB. Even though it was just a speech, it was enough to cause volatility to reach my stop. Next time I will consider any upcoming speeches regarding England or Europe before placing a trade or extend the stop loss to cater for volatility.
