Hi guys, My money management method is I trade with risk ratio. Meaning if my hard stop is at 40 pips. My TP will always be 100 to 150 pips due to risk reward ratio. 1:2 or 3. For example - I short EURUSD and long GBPUSD. I lost on EURUSD at 40 pips each = 160 pips. 4 positions. I won on GBPUSD at 100 - 150 pips. 400 pips - 4 positions. I am still on the winning side of 240 pips but I must make sure that it will go to my target price. This is just my style of trading risk management. Hope you guys can understand. Thanks. Ron.
Thanks for sharing your Money Management stat Ron! I find setting a hard stop of 40 pips useful, no running red beyond that. I have a question though if its okay.

If your TP is at 100 to 150 pips, do you set a trailing stop for the profitable trades? I believe you set your Break Even at 30 pips and trail stop every 30 pips,

I hope its correct.

Thanks Ron!

Maybe I'm wrong, but it was just an example. Not an exact way of putting SL)
Ron meant that your R/R should be 1:2 or 1:3.

Hi Van,

Thanks for your above message.

Yes I do use trail stop. Every 60 pips gained, I will locked with 30 pips gained.

As for breakeven, if I gained at 30 pips gained, I will put breakeven at 1 pip.

Thanks

Yes bud. I will put my sl at my own S/R lines. Reasonable SL in place.

Always think of SL first before thinking of TP. How much are you willing to risk per trade.

Stoploss is the most important of all.

Anything can happen in forex market. I use hard stop because I do not like to have floating loss trades and huge draw down too. This is just my style of trading for many years till today.

And if I get stop out, I will just look for another setup. Opportunities are always there every single day.

Cool Ron!

I will take to heart what you always preach; to always lock in profits, every pip counts !

I would like to take advantage of your kindness and knowledge with one last questions if its okay.

I believe you always close all your trades before the weekend due to possibility of gaps that might happen during Mondays opening. But do you give sometimes an exception and hold trades over the weekend? My guess of exceptions are if the trades has already Break Even or is profitable and trail stop has already been placed.

Thanks Ron!

Yes you’re right about that Van.

Look at today NFP. For those who went long EURUSD and never put sl will definitely have floating loss trade and hoping that it will reverse.

Dam it. Saved half the profit but down now on CJ. Davits advice below is good here I think:

"I don't trade news. Prefer to be out most times specially NFP. One usually finds good opportunities after."

Guys,

Next week will be nice to trade..Normally a strong report can last for few days NFP at 201 and wages is strong.

After a strong pullback, I will be looking for short setup.
