ปิดการเทรด ด้วยตนเอง

Closed manually shortly after NFP, not too far from SL. I was just slightly in profit prior to the release - took my chances as the SL was quite far. The correlation with the USD isn't so straightforward. -0.68R

Didn't close it immediately after the NFP though - I still hoped euro would follow the buck but it happened the opposite way instead.
