Forex Calls Recap for 2/16/12

Closed out two winners and a flat trade in EURUSD, ending a week that closed better than it started. New calls tonight and Chat, but we have CPI in the morning, one of our big three each month, so half size, and also it is options expiration, which can be slow for all markets.
Here's the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:

EURUSD:
Came in short from 1.3120 from the prior session (second half of that trade). New trade triggered short at A, hit first target perfectly at B, lowered stop in the morning and stopped at C for a winner there, plus closing out the prior day's trade for almost 100 pips. Long triggered at D, but I closed it flat, too late in the session:
