Long USD Index

13. Sept. 2017

Disclosure: RM Long. Price not disclosed. Entered on 08Sept17.

Shorts being squeezed. Seems a crowded USD bear trade with stretched indicators and price at important price zone. Already added 25% original size in 36hr consolidating flag breakout. Looking to build into this again if opportunity presents, conscience not to damage the R:R profile of the original trade too much.

Trade ist aktiv

I'm still in this. Close to b/e.

GBPUSD having a massive +% day putting pressure on this index.

In hindsight and what felt right at the time, I should have taken some off at the intersection of the Blue Falling Trend Line and the Grey Monthly Open/Close Resistance at 11868. But I was greedy and held.

Plan now is to hold. Stops will preserve my capital for another day if hit. If the index catches abid again I will consider adding in the 11834-44 range.

Order storniert

Position closed for small loss due to slippage.

I could have protected more of the profits that I was shown. Instead my ego got in the way after seeing the trade go into profit from the outset and I managed to let a profit turn into a loss.

I am disappointed with the outcome. I made mistakes here.
