Over the last couple of hours buying pressure on EURUSD has been increasing against 1.5935 resistance.  Depending on how you read your patterns, you could put in a 40pip profit target, considering the height of the triangle:

EURUSD July 20

We're not quite that aggressive, and we also hate missing out on a good run.  Offloading half the position 20 pips above resistance at 1.5955, alows us to set a stop a few pips above our entry to ensure that we don't loose anything on the posistion once it has become a winner.  The initial stop should ensure a 2:1 reward to risk ratio.  10 pips of risk to the downside at 1.5915 will invalidate the uptrend, so you could even place your stop just under the local minimum @ 1.5919 to tighten up the amount at risk.

The battle won't be an easy one because 1.5940 could stop this upward trend in it's tracks, and after that we need to break the highs set on the 16th @ 1.5948.   After that we can't find resistance until 1.5880 which is a nice 5 pips above where we take profits at four times our risk.
