Today's Recap:
I opened 3 lots at 1.3300 and all got stopped out. The pair tested the 1.3300 support and did a false break and then bounce up. I got in two early I should have waited longer before a short entry.
Total For today -230 pips
Tuesdays Trade. Since we saw the bounce off of 1.3300 that is a bullish signal and we will be looking to go long around 1.3550
However if the price does drop we will watch that 1.3300 level again but this time watch for false breaks.
