Going short wasn't a good idea

This is a follow on to my previous post where I was all happy about having made some big gains. 

After I saw that the shortish term trend had swung downwards I thought I'd open up a short position and it wasn't a good idea (at least not where I opened it), I lost as it went up shortly after I opened the short positions hehe

I've seen that the daily trend is still on the climb (though a bit slower) so I've decided to go long and see what happens, stop loss is around 50 pips below where I bought.

I will learn, I'm just thankful that I'm able to burn pretend money rather than my own :)

Update: Going long was a worse idea, down about 40 pips hehe
