The trade was setup on a 1h time frame. The entry was 3.424, initial stop of 3.411, and a preserve mode value of 3.488. This would give us a risk of 0.0013 and a reward of 0.0064. The reward/risk would be close to 5:1 i.e. 500%.
Here is the chart setup:
The trade was stopped out for a LOSS. In Trade of the week, we always publish the winning trades but never the losing trades. However, we are trading a trend system which will HAVE LOSSES. The key a trend system is to min. your losers and max. profits on your winners to a point the winners take care of all your losers and you still are profitable.
Also, this was a pull back trade. The probabilities on a pull back trade are lower than a breakout trade. The breakout trade for Natural Gas never triggered. The advantages of Pull back trading is they give you a min. reward.
