After Trade Comments:
This setup was exactly to our plan and looked promising to us but ultimately we saw some GBP strength come in, which has helped a few of our trades but for this trade it did the opposite as we saw price rise eventually hitting our stop loss. As mentioned prior this trade was exactly to plan but price just didn't play out in our favour which happens sometimes. This is all part of trade. Our analysis was correct in accordance to our trading plan but price just went against us. This just shows the importance that no matter how good a setup may look price can still go against you. Nothing is certain until that trade is closed. Don't get ahead of yourself as this is detrimental to your trading journey. Be patient and wait. Be humble and don't get ahead of yourself. This trade also teaches us another lesson, diversification. By diversifying our risk on GBP even though this trade got stopped out our other trades have benefited from this move putting us in net profit. If we didn't hedge our trade then we wouldn't be in profit overall in regards to this GBP move but because we are we've profited from this. Hedging isn't for everyone but we recommend it to all as this is just another way to protect your capital and limit your risk which at the end of the day is most important. If you want to know more about hedging and diversifying then reach out to us and we'll tell you more. Alternatively watch a YouTube video about it, look it up online, read a book. You can never know to much and this might be something you want to use in your trading to minimise your risk and maximise your reward. Taking at least a look into hedging and diversification is worth it in our opinion which is why we recommend that every trader does so. With this trade being over and that being said lets look for the next setup to catch!
