Nice to have a few easy ones in the books.

USD/JPY - YES, Another quick Scalp for 10OANDA:USDJPY
A good start to the week.
Quick scalp for 10 hard pips TP, before it hit PWL (previous weeks low).
I tune out the nay sayers that scalping doesn't work, and that I should maximize the trade, which is actually a very smart and profitable strategy when executed properly with trade management.
But I do LOVE scalping and enjoying the rest of my day not being stressed, LOL.
Both techniques work, the key is Trade Management.
Trade well....
