Btw, does this exit on GU was OK?
I m not sure that it worth waiting for so deep retrace. May be it s better to close trade when it +10-12 pips? 1:2 RR

You are catching the setups very well Nikita, you just need to set in stone how you want to exit. There are a few different methods and you need to find one that suits you.

Personally I close half of the trade at 1:1 and then trail Aims on the 2nd half. This means I do not have a TP on the 2nd half and you can catch some great moves. I also sometimes place the SL 1 pip below a candle that closes on the Green or Red line if the market warrants it. Your method of exiting may be different but it should be consistent and something that you need to setup for yourself and follow on every trade to take the stress out of trading!

Keep it up though!

NY open has shown my absolute uncompetence and lack of patience.
But it s still a winner!
