It's interesting, because my S/L has not activated yet. The trade opened at 0.9000, touched 0.8885, and now it is tiptoing north. I also decided not to interfere. I do agree that risking 112 pips to get six is crazy. OTOH, all FAPT pairs gave me nice losses recently, so to be consisent, I'd have to close all the charts and go back to studying manual trading .

Maybe, this all is just the problem of trading psychology... even with EAs.
