I forgot that the US markets are not open today due to Independence so perhaps it probably wasn't a good day to trade. Oops!
Anyway, I shorted the GBPUSD at 15120 as it moved below the support line. It dropped 15 pips... I've got a 80 pip stop and a 75 pip target on this. However, it's currently retracing and that's the thing on holidays. Low volume means that it takes less to move the market and could also mean that some traders go stop hunting... that's moving the prices around to take out

Today, the range bars was rather narrow... just 30 pip range which is tiny...
The upper range line was 14737 and the lower bar was 14707
The market did break towards the upside triggering the long.. however, the target was 14767 but the highest it reached was 14759 before it collapse. This meant a 30 pip loss. However, the short which followed was good netting 30 pips resulting in a stratch trade day.
I have decided that I need to be disciplined and this involves trading the system tire

This is the third time this has happened in the last 3 days.. the first trade is a loss and the second trade is a winner resulting in a net deficit of -20 pips
The first trade was a long as the market just peaks above the high line and then promptly falls both hitting the stop for the trade for -50 and then initiating the downside trade. The downside movement was quite large (almost 100 pips under the lower band) and I captured 30 of them.
