And now to the Strategy B......

At first look, this seems the same as the standard Basic level.

But when you look further, it is not.

Description

Only 1 amount is entered at the beginning.

Then, 10 pips into profit, a 2nd amount is entered.
The stop loss is immediately moved to the 1st amount entry point.



Results

If the profit target is reached it will be reached with 2 amounts, that is, maximum profit.

If it backfires, you will lose 1 amount of 10 pips.



The Advantage

The stop loss at the very beginning is for 1 amount only.
The take profit is for 2 amounts.

In that way you have firmly increased the risk/reward ratio.



Final Conclusion

Strategy A is designed to increase the win/loss ratio.
Strategy B is designed to increase the risk/reward ratio.
