Comments:
This was a good trade to enter. The entry was well timed. And since I got in at the right time, I had some flexibility with placing the stops at the right place. I was in the negative on this trade for almost a day, but soon the pair reversed direction and went on to hit my target. And since this was a trade based on the daily chart, I placed the target 100 pips away.
