EDUCATION: Why I’m Still in the GBPJPY TradeWhy I’m Still in the GBPJPY Trade—Even After Hitting the Target
Most traders hit a target and run. And honestly? That’s fine.
But this time, we’re doing something different.
Our GBPJPY trade—entered at 188.813 with a target at 195.170—just did what many doubted: it hit the target. That’s over 630 pips of calculated risk, patience, and pure follow-through. But instead of closing the position and patting ourselves on the back, we’re letting it run.
Here’s why:
1. Momentum Isn’t Slowing Down
Price action is bullish. Higher highs, clean structure, and no major signs of reversal yet. When the market is walking in your favor, don’t interrupt it just to feel “right.”
2. Smart Traders Let Their Winners Run
It’s not just a quote—it’s a survival skill in trading. Letting profits develop is how you avoid the trap of small wins and big losses. This trade is still showing strength, and we’re adapting with it.
3. The Higher Timeframe Story Still Has Room
On the daily and weekly charts, GBPJPY could still reach into extended zones. With fundamentals aligning and technicals confirming, why leave early?
A Quick Recap:

Lessons from This Trade:
A plan should include the possibility of more than just your first target.
Exit strategy matters just as much as entry.
Emotional discipline separates reactive traders from real ones.
Would you stay in the trade or take the money and bounce? Let me know—because this is the part where traders split into two camps: the ones who close too early... and the ones who play the full game.
