Reasons Behind the trade: In the last days we were compressing downwards hitting multiple times the levels we got pre-interest rate decision from Turkey Central Bank. I was expecting a bounce from this level. I used a trailing stop after we failed to break a minor resistance and got hit too earlier. (see Figure 1)

Reasons Behind the trade: This trade was an intraday play as I was expecting more consolidation. My target was Yesterday's bar close but we didn't make it all they way till that level, so I used trailing stop to protect my position see Figure 2 for more details.
