Note
Breakout is happening now as we speak on the 1m time frame, to the up side. Now waiting for confirmation, a close outside the Symmetrical Triangle. Therefore I might move my stop loss up again to lock in more profits.
Note
Stop loss placed further above entry to maximize profits.

Still managed to make a nice prognosis of how the chart has moved up since I first posted this Idea on november 16th. I am really gaining more confidence on doing TA's and working with trendlines, support and resistance and some of the harmonic patterns like triangles and wedges.

I'm gonna keep practicing on my FXCM demo account at least until christmas. But one milestone which I think can be celebrated is: Yesterday I had my first day with all my trades in the green for at least 24 hours. After practicing and learning about TA a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening for the past two weeks or so. So still learning and a lot to learn, but I'm gaining more and more insights while practicing on the job.
