Identify a key support or resistance level for entry, depending on whether you’re looking to go long or short. Use technical indicators (e.g., trend lines, moving averages, Fibonacci levels) to confirm the trend direction and enhance the probability of reaching your target.
Stop Loss (40 Pips):
Place your stop loss 40 pips away from the entry point, ideally below recent swing lows for a long position or above recent highs for a short position. This tighter stop helps limit risk but requires precision in entry to avoid being stopped out by market fluctuations.
Take Profit (100 Pips):
Set your take profit level 100 pips away from the entry point, aligned with the general trend. GBP/USD has the volatility needed to reach a 100-pip target, especially if the market is trending strongly or news aligns with your trade direction.
Risk Management and Timing:
Ensure that the trade aligns with higher-volume sessions (like London or New York) to increase the likelihood of hitting your target within a reasonable time. A 1:2.5 risk-to-reward ratio can be profitable over time if trades are taken with confirmed trends or at optimal levels.
