After a long weekend, it's back to trying to make some money in the markets. I see a possible short in GBP/USD on the daily chart. The last two days have been doji candlesticks near a falling trendline that is serving as resistance. There's room below where the pair is currently trading for it to fall, so if it breaches the two-day low, I'm going to hop on board and hopefully bag some pips. I'm going to enter two lots, but not set a profit target on either of them initially. I'll be moving my stop loss to breakeven if the trade moves 1R in my favor. At 2R, I'll take a profit on half of my position. However, if price dictates that I exit early, I'll do so. I've not been happy with my trade management and risk/reward ratio recently, feeling like I've been leaving a lot of money on the table. So I'm experimenting with more aggressive trade management and lower risk/reward ratios. Looking at the chart, it's quite possible that this trade could yield several multiples of R before it hits significant support.
