Trade Update - EUR/USD Short

The Trade: EUR/USD Short


Reason/Setup:
This trade was entered based on the squeeze indicator on 1 hour chart. Since my previous entry in this pair got stopped, I did not place a stop loss for this pair and decided to do it manually. The target was set 30 pips away. I did enter this trade a little late and hence missed out on 12 pips.

Comments:
As it usually happens, as soon as I entered the trade, the pair moved higher. At one point, I was down almost 70 pips. But I still held on as the indicators kept saying the price is bound to move lower. And I was correct. Pretty soon, the price action reversed, and hit my target point. Too bad my target was very small as the pair continued to move a lot lower.
