Two Trades To Huge Portfolio Gains Trading Forex
By
Back in November, I had pointed out a setup on the NZD/USD in our trading room here at Elliott Wave Trader in which I laid out a very clean long setup to the upside on the NZD/USD.
This setup called for a long entry at the 0.6832 level with stops just under the 0.6779 low or just 53 pips below the price at that time. As of today, this pair is trading at the 0.7384 level or 538 pips of the 0.6832 level. In other words over a 10 to 1 risk to reward ratio at current levels.
If one were to risk just 3% of their Forex portfolio on this trade, then this trade would have resulted in a portfolio gain of over 30% on just one single trade.
This is the second huge winning setup that we have pointed out in the last several months here in the Forex Room at ElliottWave Trader.
Earlier in 2017 we had a USD/CAD trade setup that had an over 20 to 1 risk to reward setup and follow-through. This would have resulted in a 60% portfolio gain with that same 3% risk put into place.
These Forex trades are often what we can call lazy river swing trades. Trades where there is not much but set stops and float down the river for the ride. So while they may not take much work and constant management, when these trades hit, one or two big winners can make the entire year.
The USD/CAD and NZD/USD trades are perfect examples of this phenomenon. Having taken just these two trades and risking just 3% of total account value would have resulted in a portfolio gain of more than 100%.
