My targets were not reached, maybe a bit too ambitious especially on the Binaries. (Need to look into this for future trades).
Around 14:57 EST (19:57 U.K TIME) on 21/08/2017 I sold 2 contracts of
EUR/USD > 1.1760 3PM EST Expiry for 6.00. Basically a premium collection trade.
Price was really slowing down so I took the opportunity to utilize this trade setup.
My Profit/Loss including fees for the above position including the premium collection trade is +$5.50. I could have made alot more if my targets were not so ambition, but most importantly I didn't make a loss.
Live to trade another day :).
