This was good... as even if I had bearish expectations I followed my plan, and took the straddle as planned to the upside. I did not break my MM rules, and respected my RR settings. I took My target and stayed focused on the larger picture and withstood any temptations to break my key MM and RR rules. Even if my system was doomed to Break even at best on the long run...I still respected the plan, and respected MM and RR pillars.

short is stopped : -10 pips
market says we are going up, I say ok.
What I really want to see is a failure of this faked break up, to confirm a bearish set up.
But for now, market says up.
