The remaining swing trade closed. Intelli4x sent out a Close Trade signal instead of waiting for it to hit either stoploss or profit target. It was for USDCHF, and netted 20 pips profit. Swing signals are still in the red, but I am happy to have recovered some of their losses.
Signals for EURUSD and USDCHF seem to be paired on Intelli4x's system. This is good, but my own carelessness cost me some pips last night. I'd opened intraday positions on EURUSD and USDCHF. While watching a movie last night, I heard my phone get a signal. It was in the other room, but my laptop was next to me. I saw it was a Close order from Intelli4x.com, but didn't look closely at it. I flipped over to my trading platform and only saw one trade open, and closed it. Stupid me, the close order was sent because one of the 2 trades had hit its profit target and was there to show that it had closed (and to let people who's broker was just far enough off in prices to miss the profit target know to close manually).
So, my EURUSD trade did reach the intended profit target of 58 pips, and my USDCHF trade died an early death, only netting 35 pips. Since I promised to report my exact results, Ill keep the reduced score on the second trade, just as I keep the occasional few extra pips I get from a better entry price.
Scorecard
Intraday:
EURUSD +85 pips
USDCHF +55 pips
2 trades open
Swing:
EURUSD -341 pips
USDCHF +20 pips
