Absolutely, a trading idea without objectives and initial risk is worthless. Sadly, most posts therefore are useless.

Happy new year guys!

I had a small long hit profit overnight and, until I have studied the price a little more and caught up with news, I think I'm fairly neutral on this pair (I pretty much only trade GBPUSD).

On a daily chart, it appears to be hugely oversold, without any divergence patterns to suggest that it will bounce any time soon.
On a four hour chart, the volume appears to be supportive of a short bull rally.
On a one hour chart, the bull rally appears to have already happened, so perhaps we are waiting for the retrace (I'll keep my eye on 1.47313) before heading north again.

In short, I'm out of the game until 1.47313-ish is reached. At which point I'll reassess, but on current news/technical analysis, I'll look to go long at this point unless anything changes significantly in the interim.

EDIT - having just checked my charts, there is also a buy opportunity (in my opinion) if price closes above 1.47874, for 45 pips. Stop loss would be 1.47518.

I just sold cable at 1.475, where would you set TP if you want to hold this trade for a few days? Unless of course it blows my close SL

It depends on your lot size, account balance and risk appetite (1%-2% of your account, for example).

Without knowing the above, we could just shout out numbers that might be entirely unrealistic/fall outside of your risk appetite. I, personally, wouldn't be short right now, but if I was, I'd go with a SL of 1.47917.

You can target the lows around 1.471/2 for a bounce. Even if it breaks and goes lower, you have already taken your profit and are safe.
A 1 pip gain is better than a 1 pip loss.

Sorry I misread your original post; I thought you were asking for a SL rather than TP!

I'd go 1.472xx.

I know about risk management, I set SL and position size so that I wouldn't risk more than 3% of the deposit, but TP is always hard form me to feel because I just always want to close transaction whenever I'm getting some profit and I know it's bad

Thanks guys for answering! I put the TP at 1.472 but I'm seriously considering building a pyramid and catching some bigger move. At worse I'm break even now
