EUR/JPY Stopped out

My EUR/JPY short trade has just met its target BUT...not before stopping me out this morning!...
This is one of the hazards of trading.   This is an instance where the AB=CD and the Fibonacci level didn't turn out well for me.   Subsequent to being stopped out, the price has met all 3 of my profit targets so I will take the positives pout of this and move on.

EUR/JPY Short Trade

I am short the EUR/JPY.   The set up is on the hourly chart and is an AB=CD within a channel.
I entered at the "D" point which is just inside the channel.   The purple boxes on the indicators show a divergence between the indicators and price.   I have placed my stop further outside the channel so it is above the 1.272 Fibonacci extension which I hope will give me some extra protection if the price spikes through the channel.   This means I simply reduce my trade size so that my £ risk is within my money management strategy.
