Updates - 6 Jan 2017:
- Price had once again gapped up and closed mediocrely
- Based on previous observation of each bull run amounted to 1.4 upwards movement. As such the current bull run will end at (15.7+1.4) = 17.1
- However, lets be prudent on the point that November bull run only amounted to 1.0 movement. As such, I will be revising my PT to (15.7 + 1.0) ~ 16.8
- Lets hope this revised PT will be reached by end of today.

- The last trading session of the week started bearishly. Soon it reversed and managed to closed slightly above the day's mid range.
- Price is approaching the 50MA resistance and would soon meet with bear action.
- As such, i would need to closely monitor the price action approaching the significant area and make the necessary adjustment.

- Yesterday candle is slightly concerning with another shooting star forming near the 50 MA resistance.
- As at point of writing, price is 30 pips (0.3 dollar) away from my PT.....
- Question now would be:
1.) Should I stress the strategy by only exit when a bearish signal formed after testing 50MA?
2.) Or should I take the profit now and let go the potential further 30pips gain as previous swing high (on 9 Dec 2016) didn't really test the 50MA before going south.
- Maybe I am still a risk adverse trader, I have decided to take my 40 pips gain due to reason (2) above.
