Why?<\/p>\n<p>I split the entry into 2. One at a higher level and one at my preferred &#8220;A&#8221; grade spot. I have explained that I have been doing this a lot this year as there is nothing more frustrating than waiting weeks for a trade to only miss it by a few pips.<\/p>\n<p>*In Sunday&#8217;s post, I talked about this for the Aud (which I did catch half of) and the Euro\/Gbp which hasn&#8217;t moved enough so far.<br \/>\n(YOU NEED TO BE A MEMBER TO HAVE ACCESS TO THIS MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE POST)<\/p>\n<p>I also caught half of the NZD\/CHF. My Cad trade worked yet again. I then scaled out (took most of the profit off) and left the balance to run&#8230;which it did for almost 100 pips \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>All pre planned and shared with you on Sunday. In total more than 300 pips for the week, but is it? I only caught half of 2 then scaled out of another so its probably &#8220;only&#8221; around 150, but better than missing them!<\/p>\n<p>The moral of the story is <em><strong>be flexible both with entries and profit-taking<\/strong><\/em>. I already made a month&#8217;s profit by the 14th of this month so any extra pips are pure profit<\/p>\n<p>Also my private student Ashley shared a EURGBP trade where he made 50 pips. He also took profit on the AUDUSD banking 70 pips before it started reversing, ending the week in profit.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-217964\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/eurgbp-300x125.png\" alt=\"eurgbp\" width=\"487\" height=\"203\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/eurgbp-300x125.png 487w, https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/eurgbp-480x200.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 487px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Check out the video so you know what to do next time:<\/p>\n<p>regards<\/p>\n<p>Marc<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/701432003?h=3311a3c336\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_end\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/728x90-.jpg \" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, one of my new private students suffered the pain this week, he missed an entry by 1 pip and then watched the trade move 100 \ud83d\ude41 I on the other hand caught some of the trade.
