Woke up a bit late today and missed a trade that was just before this one.
(You can notice the swing and move down).
But it's offering another opportunity.
Note
Order set at 133.802 with 17 pip stop at 133.972

**DISCLAIMER:
My style of trading is Day-trading. Average trade duration is 1 hour, median duration 29 minutes.
I NEVER risk more than 1% per trade. Risking more than that is disastrous.
Trading like that involves quick decisions based on fast candle developments such as 4M and 15M. Early exits is the norm. I post this information mainly for myself to guide my thinking process, but if you use it for your own educational purposes it's solely your responsibility of your trading.

Note
Moved order a tad higher to 133.793
Note
I meant lower*
Note
We move order lower yet again, and increases pip size from 17 to 23.

Order now at 133.749 and stop at 133.976 for 23 pip stop.

We do that because price moved further down giving a longer trade-geometry.
Trade active
Got tapped in at 133.749.
Note
Good 15M close. Waiting another candle.
Note
15M not good right now, but 1 more minute left till close.
If closes well we keep holding, if not - we're out.
Trade closed manually
Out for -0.60.

All good. Unfortunately we missed a profitable trade before that, but this one was still as per the plan.

On to the next one.
