The week started with some plain sailing. There was one Sunday evening EUR/USD trade entered and one overnight limit order GBP/USD trade to get the scoreboard ticking. These were followed by three additional trades during the New York session.

When things go as planned there isn’t too much else to say!

I tried to enter additional sterling trades throughout the day but there were no substantial retracements so I ended up remaining on the sidelines during an impressive 800 pip decline.
