Learning Trade Forex

I was late in the trade and got bad fill. It was against me at first but the gbp was strong so it bounced back. Eur/gbp was getting weak but it manifested as eur weakness and not so much as gbp strength. I was patient for two hours and in the end I took profit because I didn't want to risk with another wave down because profit in pips wasn't so big for two hour trade. Trade was 2/3 of the size.
+18 full size pips
