Hello, I'm new to ff but have studied the currencey markets with demos for about 4 years now. I've come to this conclusion. You need to have a good understanding of hoe price moves RELATIVE to something. This might be a moving average, a trend line, a pivot point, aweekly high, etc. If you're going to go short, you need to determine that price is at it's highest from your reference point. Go short, put in a stop that YOU think is a good place to put it, and set your profit or profit targets at a place where you think is the lowest price is going to go from YOUR reference point. I f the market moves in your direction, slowly move your stop , whatever you're comfortable with, till you get to break even, then LEAVE IT' until your profit targets start being hit, at be you can't lose. Opposite goes for long entries obviously. Managing your risk is vital. You must be able to ride out a string of losers and have plenty left to carry on Personally I'm considering risking under 1% per trade. That's it really, just wondered what anyone's thoughts are. Thanks in advance.
