Comment: Trade went well initially and target of 12998 was met.i decided to leave 70 pips on the table to gain a further 190 pips.Overnight the rates seesawed and i had a feelingt to close out my trade as the BOE minutes was coming out the next day.I left the trade on and at 9.30am the trade went against me and closed out my position.Total profit made £86.
Lesson learnt : take of trades before big economic anouncements.

Verdict: Loot.
