GBP/USD breaking 2.0000 mark - 151 pips

It has been a long time since I even took out a PDA to trade. Been very busy with my own Smith Street (Collingwood) property over the past weeks.

Anyway I went into a long swing and today GBP/USD broke into the 2.0000 mark!


GBP/USD - Long @ 1.9940, Closed @ 2.0091 (151 pips in more than 1 weeks)

GBP/USD - 198 pips!

My long trades finally swing to a decent profit for me!

GBP/USD - Long @ 1.9426, Closed @ 1.9572 (146 pips in 2 days)
GBP/USD - Long @ 1.9520, Closed @ 1.9572 (52 pips in 4 days)

Total: 198 pips!

145 pips from GBP/USD swing trades!

As mentioned last week, I got a couple of GBP/USD swing trades (since Jan-24 and Jan-25). I played these swing trades rather aggressive (and quite of the averaging mentality) and thus, I didn't place any stop losses.

But earlier, the NFP announcement brought the currency pair down more than 200 pips after 8.30am EST!
