Plan & Tools
Define risk (per trade/drawdown), select pairs, and use a demo to practice before going live.
Example
A Sample Forex Trade
Suppose EUR/USD is falling toward a well‑watched support area. Your plan says you will buy if price tests support and momentum turns higher, targeting the recent swing high with a stop below the level.
You place a buy order near support with a predefined stop loss and take profit. Position size is calculated so that a full stop equals your maximum risk per trade. After entry, price bounces, hits your target, and the trade closes automatically.
Outcome aside, the goal is execution discipline: clear setup, defined risk, and a measured exit — the habits that support long‑term consistency.
