What is the best trade you have ever made?

Hi all

Curious to know what everyones best trade is and why.

I just placed a quick scalp sell on EUR/AUD for 1 lot at 1.48226 with a take profit of 1.48083 netting a measly 14.3 pips. This is one of the best trades I have made as when price hit 1.48064 it rebounded quickly and currently is at 1.48406. Some might call it luck but I have made trades similar to this many a time and it is a good feeling to know how you interpret price action and structure points is valid on the chart.

This thread isn't necessarily to discuss your top trade in pip or dollar value but more so how accurate you have been with your take profit and why that take profit made sense to you.

Cheers

I recently traded at USD\JPY. Order buy. Opened deal for the price 111.459 and 112.448 closed. The volume was 20 lots.

I don't keep records of my trades as well as I should, but here is a couple of trades I have a record of:

Accumulating U/J in late 2014, as it rose from 1.08 to 1.20:

- I've caught a few good moves on JPY since Abe's election, but that trade was probably the cleanest and most profitable.


Started selling crude oil in mid 2014. Made decent coin on this one even though I got out waaay to early, I think in dollar terms it's still my best ever trade.

When I was younger I had some amazing luck trading company listed options on small cap mining shares listed on the ASX. Although these produced amazing capital growth they were far from my best trades.
Now I always use a fixed sl and tp (because I like to know my required break even win rate). The trades which are executed properly in accordance with my system/plan are all my best trades, regardless if the hit tp or sl.
I'd rather lose 25 pips on a trade that was placed following all the requirements of a system than make 2000 pips on a punt.

I find a good brokers those services are marvelous in trading. I can do trading as I want because all my trades are executed in time. Loss and profit is up to my own skill. My best ever profit is more than $150 in a single trade .It was unexpected success for me. I can get some more too but close position on sure profit . It is enough for a trader to have this much profit .

1. The next one.

2. While I was working at Burger King, I managed to save enough money to open a futures account. On my second trade, I made a currency futures trade that made me more than $32,000 in four days. I have been entranced by the market's siren call ever since.

Best trade I ever made?. Swapped three apples for five peaches.

I would have taken the other side of that trade every time... Apples yum, yum... peaches... yuck!!!!​
