Last night (17th, july 2018) I saw a signal both in M30 and H4 timeframe , so I shorted USD/CAD. after about three hours , my float profit was about ＄160，and I wanted more so I had to hold the position for more one day and ended up by getting less profit about ＄97 a poor trading
no idea what is your lot size. I am not sure if you have computed the reward : risk RR ratio. When you entered the trade, what was your stop loss level? stop loss = how many pips? Your RR ratio should be > 2.
this position was 0.8 lot. the best RR ratio for me is >3 , but I am not a good trader now, so sometimes the result is far apart from my initial purpose. thanks a lot for your kindness.
