Wednesday Evening EUR/USD Chart
There is a nice wedge forming here, so there are two possible trades.
Sell @ 1.4490 SL 1.4505 TP 1.4475 VALID = -15PIPS
Buy @ 1.4530 SL 1.4515 TP 1.4545 VALID = +15PIPS
PROFIT = (10PIPS - 10PIPS) * $10 = $0
It was unfortunate that the breakout took longer than anticipated, and having a trailing stop would of been better to catch more pips on the way up. I should of moved the SL to BE point, but I was too busy revising for my exams.

Wednesday Afternoon GBP/USD Chart
The GBP/USD is heading towards it's previous high @ 1.6426, i expect this resistance to hold and head lower.
Sell @ 1.6426 SL 1.6441 TP 1.6408 VALID
PROFIT = 18PIPS * $10 = $180

Wednesday Midday EUR/USD Chart
It broke through the previous high without any trouble at all, so now there is a buy in play if it come back down to touch the trendline. However if it goes through the support, i will look to sell.
Buy @ 1.4513 SL 1.4503 TP 1.4545 INVALID
Sell @ 1.4509 SL 1.4517 TP 1.4468 VALID UPDATE: The move took longer than expected, having to move the sell @ 1.4518 SL 1.4517 TP 1.4501.
The chart shows that there was a trendline, that i didn't see earlier. Therefore the TP has ben moved up to this line, as I expect a bounce up from here.
PROFIT = + 17 PIPS * $10 = $170
Buy @ 1.4513 SL 1.4503 TP 1.4545 INVALID

It looks like the EUR/USD is going to retest the previous high of 1.4520, therefore it should provide a good resistance and setup for a short trade.
