Alright, so I was watching the price action after that Iran news started hitting the wires. Saw a bit of a push up towards the R1 pivot yesterday, which looked promising for a bit. I decided to go long around 4730, thinking it would keep climbing with the dollar weakness. Set my stop loss fairly tight, around 4715, expecting that FVG around 4720 to fill. But then, man, the momentum just died. Price started to drift lower and lower, and by the time I looked again, it was below 4700. My stop got hit hard, lost about 1.5% on that trade. Classic case of buying into the hype and getting caught by smart money playing games. Definitely learned my lesson about chasing quick moves on news like that.
