This chart shows the distance of a trade taken and where it was closed. I took a long on the morning of April 1st on eurusd before the USD ADP release. From the bottom of where it was set, I had set a break even of +1.5 pips. I leave and come back and the trade has randomly been closed at where it is marked which is about + 7 pips or so but price came nowhere near 1.5 pips away as you can see. Keep in mind, this isn't even the minute before a news event, it was still about 13 minutes away..
I think it's important that this is pointed out.
