π EXTENSIONS AND THEIR WONDERS πβ¨
In trading, it is not only important to know when to enter the market, but also when to let our profits run. One of the most valuable tools we can learn to master is the extension of our trades, as they allow us to take advantage of wider movements without increasing our initial risk. π In our strategy, which we explain in the Trading sin vendas course, we work with a risk-reward ratio of 1:1.7. However, reaching that target does not mean we must necessarily close our entire trade. π‘ This is where the magic of extensions begins! Once our initial objective is reached, we can intelligently manage our position: β Secure profits: partially close our trade to materialize benefits. β Move the Stop Loss to Break Even: protect the capital of the remaining position, considering commissions and possible slippage. β Let profits run: keep a portion open to take advantage of a possible continuation of the movement. β Manage strategically: adjust our levels according to market structure and not according to our emotions. π What do we observe in this image? A trade in XAUUSD where, after identifying a buying opportunity, the price developed a considerable upward movement. This is an excellent example of how an extension can allow us to take much more advantage of the market after having secured partial profits. π― The key is not to guess how far the price will go, but to learn to manage what the market offers us. Extensions do not guarantee higher profits, but good management can make a huge difference in our results. Because in trading, it is not always the one who trades the most who wins the most, but the one who best manages their opportunities. GRANDIR CM | Trading sin vendas
