Great start to the week with a 2.11% gain from a EUR/USD (there's a surprise!) short.
I chose to close it early but within my strategy as it was a very likely place for a reversal. If I hadn't closed it i'd still be in the trade now as it basically went sideways over night and wouldn't have caught my stop. The first half was closed at 1:1 as normal and I let the second half run for a while. Once I saw we weren't going to break the 50% of Friday's zone I decided to close it. It actually got pretty close to the next target - 8 pips away at 1.2560 but didn't quite make it. Still, i'm very happy with the gain, covers Friday's loss and gives me a great start to the week with which to build on. Most of the info is annotated on the charts below.
