Somebody please slap me. Until Friday, I stayed out of the forex markets for most of the week aside from 2 attempted USD/CAD long hedges that I closed out for 10 pips profit. Then, on Friday, I foolishly attempted a EUR/USD short @ 1.4202 thinking that there would be some profit taking on the pair going into the weekend. The pair rose to new record highs creaming my stop loss in the process. I lost 48 pips in 4 hours and ended the week down 38 pips. It would bother me so much if I hadn't known better than to take positions on my three unluckiest days: Fridays, the last trading day of each month, the last trading day of the quarter. Next time I do it, please slap me!
