Direction Easy✔️ Timing Hard ❌
Hi Traders,
I think the analysis part of trading is the easy bit. By that I mean most traders usually have the correct direction in mind but timing is difficult. AUDJPY is a classic example. The analysis was simple. Price broke about daily resistance, retested it and I was looking for continuation. I entered the trade but price came back and took me out for a breakeven. Then, it continued it same direction I expected it to. Personally, I prefer to preserve my capital by going breakeven once in good profit and I do not even confident re-entering a trade if price retraces so sharp and took me out the trade.
1. How soon do you place your trade at breakeven once it is in profit?
2. Do you re-enter a trade is it took you out at breakeven and show signs of following your original trade idea?
