Trading Journey- Trade #1: Short EURGBP #forex

7 มี.ค. 2019

Hello mates,
I am starting to document my next 100 trades. Hopefully, It would be helpful for others.

I have shorted the EURGBP this morning.

• The price has broken out of the main sideways range by breaking 0.8620 support.
  
• The broken support turned to resistance as the price formed two consecutive rejection candles( shooting stars) suggesting supply is dominant at that level.
  

Shorted two orders @ 0.8620
TP- For 1st order : 0.8477
TP- For 2nd order : 0.8315
SL: 0.8708
Average Risk/Reward: 2.52
Risk of capital for trade: 1.5%

For my trade, I stated that I am risking 1.5% of my capital on this trade so accordingly, the trade return as follows:

Profit in percent = RR X Percentage of risk / 2(Because only one order hit its TP)
= (1.62x 1.5)/2= 1.21%

Trade profit depends on your choice of position size according to your risk per trade. The bigger the risk, the bigger the position size, hence the bigger the reward.
