I tried to take a PP #4 Call this morning and it went bad. Why?

This trade ended up going all the way against me. Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong. Thanks! https://www.screencast.com/t/XUcCNgBeOs8V

Be careful of the news/ upcoming events

At 9am EST Super Mario ( Mario Draghi - ECB President) started speaking. Just like when Yellen speaks (USD)… there could be a fair amount of movement in the Euro. And in this case… the markets didnt really like what he had to say… Pretty much every Euro pair has taken a hit.

Of course, if the market did like what he had to say… it could have just as easily gone up.

Trading into the news is a risk you will have to decide if you want to take when trading directionally. Of course even ICs and Straddles have their own risk as well.
