Short AUD/USD Trade

Entry price: 0.6311
Exit price:0.6322
Stop Loss: Stopped out

Although the trade was meant to be a quick 1:2 scalp, my stop placement was way too tight. With the need for a wider stop, this is a trade that shouldn't have even been taken.

As stated previously, I'm gonna switch to a swing trading approach (holding for a few days). Although the day trading formula is working and I'd hate to tinker with success, I do work a full-time job after all. And, what I find myself doing a lot of times is more or less re-entering the same trend. The EUR/USD for instance. I've been shorting it, but in truth, I would've been better off just holding my original short for the big down swing. My issue in the past when it comes to that approach has been patience. I'm gonna try it again but if I can't resolve that issue, then I'm back to what I've been doing.
