The British pound is still strong today, showing a little bit of follow through from yesterdays gains. Yesterday I called out a trade in GBP/AUD as a low risk opportunity based on some technical factors, despite the fact that the trade was “counter-trend”. Let’s see how its doing:
As you can see, this trade is up about 169 pips from yesterdays entry price (1.7828-1.7659=169 pips). While you’re not going to be able to retire just yet LOL, this high probabilty set-up is showing some initial gains and looks promising going forward. To give you an idea of what this means, with just one lot, you would have made $169 if you were in this trade.
And the cost to get into this trade? Just $50 in margin. So in theory, you put up $50 to make $169. That’s pretty good coin! Now imagine what happens when you use the multiplier effect of leverage!
While its never a good idea to over-leverage your account, taking high probability trade set-ups can be extremely profitable if you know what you’re doing!
