It's October 14th, 2008 and time for our Angel Pair Picks!
For the past few minutes I've reviewed charts on the majors and boys, let me tell you, there are several to choose from today!
Our trading methods indicate potential shorts on GBP/USD, EUR/USD and USD/JPY. Also, there is indication of buying the USD/CHF.
So I crunched some numbers and decided to place two, 1-lot trades on each of them.
First we placed buy stop orders on the Swissy at 1.1385 with an initial stop loss of 1.1290.
For the Cable, we went short at market price of 1.7382 and set an initial stop loss of 1.7495.
For the Euro, we placed a sell stop order to go short at 1.3559.
And finally, for the Yen, we again placed an order to sell on a stop at 101.42.
The buy and sell stop orders lets us be sure that the market is going with our trend when the order gets filled.
Our goal is to make 10% on our trades while only risking 2% of our account value per trade. Along with a good trading method, we always use good money management principles to minimize our risk, while maximizing our profit potential.
If we hit our 10%, we will close out one lot and let the other one continue, trailing a stop to capture as much of the move as possible, while protecting our profits.
Check back tomorrow to see how our picks make out. And let us know how YOUR trading is doing!
