All orders filled. Price bounced from the exact damn pip of the bottom of green rectangle and posted over 7% profit so far. Amazing !!

Target 1 hit with precision. Closed one third position as planned. Also moved SL to breakeven (which means I can't lose anything from this trade now)

I've just set another take profit order for 20% of my remaining position at 4420. That's where there is a H4 OB. When price reaches there, there will definitely be some sell-off because of the rounded retest of that resistance level (red rectangle in chart). I would like to lock in as much profit as possible on the way up because I am trading counter trend.

My average entry price was 3777.5
Locked in profit for one third position at 4233
Moved SL up to entry for remaining two third position and stopped out at 3780
Overall, R: +0.5, Profit: 4.08%
Not the result I expected but happy with this small profit.
Onto the next trade when I see a better setup.
