Today, I am attempting to place a buy order on the USDX, with the stop loss set at 99.71 and the take profit at 100.08. On the M15 timeframe, the USDX is currently in a bullish trend; this is evident from the series of higher highs forming on the right side of the chart, while the moving average (MA) indicator line has also begun to rise and is positioned above the price.

The buy position I opened on the USDX hit my stop loss, resulting in a $2.00 loss. The USDX is currently still moving sideways, but it dipped to 99.68 earlier, triggering my stop loss.

Today, I attempted to sell GBPUSD, placing my stop loss at 1.3508 and my take profit at 1.3477. On the M15 timeframe, after facing rejection at the upper level several times, the price finally underwent a rather aggressive bearish move.
