USDCAD – trigger happy
I sold and it shot up... I was impatient and wanted some trading action and lost 20 pips! Have to be more careful...

I went short on the GBPJPY forex pair today at 136.75 and too profit at 136.25 for a 50 pip profit. It was looking good for a short as it had once again bounced off a top pattern at around 136.90... I had intended on just keeping the trade running and gradually move the stoploss down as the price action was moving my way but when it started to look a bit funny in the charts and also as there was some resistance previously at 136.25 area, I thought it would be safer to take my profits!
I was eager to get back into trading today.... can you see where I went wrong? Yep, the eager bit isn't a good bit when it comes to trading.. it's so easy to pull the trigger when trading but when nothing is there, you're just gambling which is what happened today.. I did really badly... The first trade, long at 126.96 thinking that the market was going to be heading higher.. I bought it right when it peaked and it plummetted.. my stop was at 126.56 for -40 pips. [caption id="attachmen
