- Once again, the price is having difficulty breaking up the 17.0 mark
- Since entry triggered, this trade has been in red. Currently holding on to a 20 cent deficit
- Since half way to my SL, might as well just hang on to it and let it plays out.

- Ouch, this is painful.... yesterday price action stopped me out by 1 pips and reverse back to the upside forming a long tailed doji at this support area.
- Probably i would reenter long but would now stay at the sideline to lick on my wound.... also to wait for another bullish signal...
- Key learning point from this trade:
1.) Relook at my SL placement
2.) Don't be influenced by RR ratio in SL placement as RRR is a tool to screen profitability of a trade and should come after identification of SL point.
It is going to be my 2nd month in journaling my trades.... time for a bi-monthly review of my past trades~~
