Still Not Paying Attention

Loss (£5.00)
Forex: GBP/USD Direction: Short Size: 0.5 Status: Demo
Date: 10/01/23 11:14 - 10/01/23 11:26
Duration: 0 days 0 hours 12 minutes
Opening: 12162 Closing: 12172

I put the stop at 12172 and the limit at 12151.7 for what I thought would be an easy £5, I wanted to bail out if it looked to change direction but I was still coding the site and got a bit wrapped up in WordPress.

a) in the image above was roughly where I entered.
b) was the candle that took me out, if I’d been paying attention I would have got out early. Should perhaps have gone for a larger stop; I called the downwards movement correctly.

Note: Don’t trade whilst programming/working!
