There is a trading opportunity that I am watching on gbpnzd. If the trade setup plays out the way I am anticipating, then we will be looking at a potential 100-pip profit target. In relation to the daily timeframe below, you will see that today’s candle appears to be testing the resistance level market by the red horizontal line. We know that once a resistance area gets broken, it usually turns into support.

I will be using a 15-minute chart for entry on a buy. This chart shows price holding above its up trendline, which is currently being tested. I am watching for a bounce to go long around these levels. However, from the chart below, pay attention to the resistance area, ( 2.1975) around which the red horizontal line is drawn in. I need to see a solid close above this resistance to confirm entry. Assuming this does take place, I will buy there and look to target 2.2080 for profit-taking. There is significant weekly resistance above this level. As usual, I will be scaling out of my position in thirds.

    Hi mihai. It simply means that I will close out two of my trading positions at different points before the final target of 2.2080. For example: One position to be closed at 2.2025, another one at 2.2050, and the last one at 2.2080. You're welcome. have a great day :)

    Hello Sophia,
    when you say that you will be scaling out the position in thirds, what exactly do you mean?
    Can you please explain this a bit, since I'm new in the forex. Thank you
