If you’ve ever wondered how professional traders consistently make profits while others struggle, today’s Trade of the Day is a perfect example. Our Senior Trading Analyst, Tom, walks you through a trade that illustrates the power of high-probability setups and smart trade management.
The Setup
Using Trendsignal’s proprietary tools, Tom identified a green sniper disc—a high-probability buy signal. While some traders might shy away from trades with a low reward-to-risk ratio, understanding market momentum and trend alignment can make all the difference.
In this case:
-
The initial setup had a 70-pip stop versus a 30-pip target.
-
Momentum indicators, including a gray infill and the vector average, confirmed the trade aligned with the intermediate and long-term trend.
-
Weekly and monthly trends, along with chart patterns, were all in favor.
Managing the Trade
Instead of settling for the initial target, Trendsignal traders aimed for an extended target of 106 pips, which was reached on the first day.
Advanced traders used our active stop system, locking in profits as the market moved, gradually trailing stop losses higher to maximise gains. By the end of the trade:
-
Final exit: 257.3 pips → £257 at £1 per pip
-
Active management total: 412.5 pips → £825 at £2 per pip
All of this was achieved with just 20 minutes a day monitoring the trade.
The Big Picture
Trend Signal doesn’t focus on random trades. We monitor 37 different markets, including currencies, commodities, and indices, and only take high-probability entries. This systematic approach allows traders to grow their accounts consistently without chasing every market movement.
