GBPJPY trade taken 22nd Oct

Traded into the news, something I usually try not to do.
But 2 main factors kept me in the trade.
Firstly, there was a break of a major resistance level, but it couldn’t hold. Big players were selling it down. They probably know something about the results later and were taking out the short stops?
Whatever the case be, there were big sellers involved, so I want to be sitting in their camp when the news comes out.
Secondly, I had a 30pips profit buffer, meaning I probably could survive any spikes comfortably.
So I decided to stay in the trade with a limit order to get out at +60pips.
When price started moving, the move was HUGE.
I wasn’t able to cancel my limit order in time.
So that’s +60pips, 2R trade.

GBPJPY 2nd trade taken 21st Oct

Another overnight trade, but the confluence of events struck me as strong enough to be right.
Since this trade was against the strong upward momentum, I should have been more conservative with my money management and take 50% off at 40pips instead of just moving the stoploss.
Basically, out at breakeven. zero pips, zero R trade.
