Took a short 1.4824 -- gapped up on me to 1.4840 and came back down to 1.4828 where i closed out and reversed long..
stop below 1.4820
Edit: size is 600k and target 1.4845
stopped out and reversed short -- closed and reversed long 1.48145
Edit: stop 1.4808 -- target 1.4845
taking a breather to see where retracements goes back t0 account value now 19,929
Edit: entered long 1.48206 stop below 1.4815 target high 20s
Edit2: out 1.48254 -- taking another breather
Edit3: account value now at 20,200 just 100 shy of my peak from a couple of weeks ago -- 600k is now running at around 88% of margin so will look to push it up a little

just overtraded a couple of times and down a bit switched from long to short to long to short to long now -- sticking with long..
cost me some pips think i'm down to 19,500 now
long now from 1.4844 stop below 1.48437 -- target above 1.4850
stopped out -- think the 20k is a pyschological barrier for me
now switched to short 1.48386 eyeing a shakeout down to 1.4830.. where I will reverse (stop above 1.4846)
definitely think i am overtrading on excitement/adrenaline here -- need to limit this behavior..

stopped out another case of I should've stuck with my original trade instead of overtrading my positions.. taking a breather..
Quote from Uncle:
spot at 1.4837 the perfect place to either take it all the way back to over 1.4850 or down to 1.4820.. can't tell which..
Took a short 1.48377 and then covered and reversed 1.4829 and out at 1.48328..
account value is now 19,755 at peak of today's session I hit 20,500 and at low was at 19,100.. I'm extremely exhausted and having trouble focusing and just trading for fun so will stop myself here..
also worrisome that I am now thinking in dollars instead of pips something that I did not do before -- i think that is what happens when i hit 20k -- the money becomes real and instead of looking at 2 pips of movement as noise for some reason I am seeing $120! nonesense and I have to get over the money value..
will try to review the session/trades/comments more objectively tomorrow..
