Trend Continuation Pin Bar on GBPAUD Reaps Pips

Pleasing Execution, Result on AUDCAD Long Trade

Success!

'Continue reading' to see what happened

Entered long on AUDCAD on a retrace of the bullish outside bar/candle (BUOB) of Tuesday, September 14.

Snapped the thumbnail on right the next day (Friday).

Set a modest first profit target for half my position based on a 61.8 Fibonacci enhancement level, which was taken out on Friday.
