Forex trading is fast becoming the most popular way of earning extra money from home this century, however seldom people know how to maximize their profits and limit their risks effectively enough that they get an 80% success rate. One of the biggest reasons for failure in the forex markets is being in profit at one point in the trade then seeing those profits and more disappear. It is not greed that is the cause of this, but simply not manipulating the stop loss in a way to maximise your profits and limit your losses.
Just like trading stocks and commodities the forex market moves in waves, it is the knowledge of getting into a trade on the upward or downward push of these waves that successful traders use to maximize profits and limit losses. One of the safest ways of trading these trends is to enter a trade just as it makes it makes a new high or low and locking in that profit or locking in that limited risk.
For an example of this method I am going to use the volatile and popular currency pair GBP/USD. Imagine the trend has just broken through its previous resistance level to make a new high in a buy situation; you enter the trade as it makes its new high and the trend continues into 20 pips profit then slows down or losses momentum.
It is at this point that the decision you make will see you making large amounts of profit, a 20 pip total profit or you can reap the benefits of both by using this simple technique of maximizing forex profits. Forex trading doesn’t have to be as simple as entering and exiting trades at set amounts.
Now, let us go back to our original example of the GBP/USD being 20 pips in profit. The trade has started to stall or slow down around the 20 pip profit mark, if you move your stop loss up to your entry point and the trade reverses, of course you will not make a loss, but you will not make any profit either. In this method I recommend taking 80% of your profits, moving your stop loss up to your entry point and letting 20% run for as long as possible, here is how it would play out at 10 a pip; you take out 80% profit giving you a none losable 160 profit you then move your stop loss up to your entry point if your 2 a pip trade reverses and stops you out, you have still made 160. If you 2 a pip trade continues for a further 100 pips you will make 160 + a further 200 at no risk what so ever. Now that is a brilliant way to maximize forex profits.
