Elite scalping session log — Tuesday London open.
Pre-session: Marked EUR/USD Asian range (1.0818–1.0831). GBP/USD range (1.2644–1.2662). Set limit sell orders at Asian highs on both.
08:03 GMT: EUR/USD hit 1.0832 (1 pip above Asian high). Limit order triggered on the spike. 1m candle quickly reversed below 1.0829. Held 5 min. Closed at 1.0821: +11 pips.
08:22 GMT: GBP/USD touched 1.2663, slight pause, then dropped. Entered short at 1.2660 on 1m close. Stop: 1.2672. Target: 1.2645. Hit target in 15 minutes. +15 pips.
09:05 GMT: Tried a third scalp on EUR/USD long — setup wasn't as clean. Entered at 1.0823, price went sideways for 30 minutes then slowly dropped. Closed manually at breakeven. 0 pips.
**Session total:** +26 pips, 2/3 trades won. Spent 90 minutes total.
Lesson: The third trade was "boredom trading" — the first two setups were perfect, and I kept watching hoping for another. Two excellent trades + one flat is a great scalping session.
Do you find it hard to stop after 2 good scalps in the morning?
