After being frustrated of missing 2 winning trades on AUDCAD the past 2 days (price came within 2 pips of my pending orders and reversed to hit my would-be targets), I just made a mistake on this bullish BAT : I had orders placed and got filled a few minutes ago, but as I was filling in the active trade in my trading journal I then noticed that I forgot to check the stop size on that trade which appeared to be bigger than my max allowed size.
Realizing the mistake I directly closed the trade (Good boy !) with a few pips of profit but still a mistake and marked as a bad trade.
I have placed new orders a few pips below according to my rules, but I have the feeling that price won't come back to give me another chance (and then giving me a FULL PAIN lesson missing on potentially 300+ pips of profit!). But the rules are the rules!
It's NFP today so stay covered and cautious !
