The Risk:
As traders, it is your job to mitigate the risk and only trade structures that provide high probability and great reward to risk ratios.
If you are not comfortable with defined exit levels, experiment with Moving Averages to help set solid exit rules to protect your capital.

IF: Price breaks above 1.31872 – this would suggest the structure is not in our favour and would be wise to reduce exposure or close the trade until a solid signal gives us reasons to re-enter.

Reward / Reward Targets:
Optimal Entry 1.31400 – Target 1 1.30640 = 1.5x Reward to Risk
Optimal Entry 1.31400 – Target 2 1.3000 = 3x Reward to Risk
Supporting Entry 1.3130 – Target 1 1.30640 = 1x Reward to Risk
Supporting Entry 1.3130 – Target 2 1.3000 = 2.2x Reward to Risk
