Hi fellow pipsters, im new to all of this posting, but not new to forex
I have a trade idea, its a counter trend trade, abit dangerous, but with correct money management its worth the risk.
The Idea
Sell 2 lots @ 1.1350
Stop @ 1.1450
Target 1 @ 1.1150 (once this is hit, move the remaining lot’s stop to entry)
Target 2 @ Unknown at present. I will post when I’m going to exit.
My first target is always the total risk I’m taking with both positions, in this case 200 pips. Remember, calculate everything, I personally never risk more than %5 of my account.
I wouldnt refer to this trade as counter trend because the long term trend is down. I guess you mean counter-current trend(4h-1H). I like this trade for one reason only and its because i’m looking to go short on formations from my system.
I dont know what time frame, indicators or method you use to gauge a trend, but on my charts and by my knowledge looking at the daily charts the trend is currently up and about to reverse. On weekly and monthly, the trend is down.
I use moving averages and candlestick analysis to gauge the trend. You never said why you like this trade, and why you would trade it.
I said the only reason I liked it is because i’m also looking to go short. The market is now testing a down TL on the monthly/weekly so if it pull back then my entries will be after the retracemnts.
