Moving Average Bounce Chart

Wait for your Trade to Exit

Wait for the price to trade at your target or at your stop loss, and for either your target or stop loss order to get filled. The moving average bounce trade can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours to reach your target or stop loss, and the trade does not use any target or stop loss adjustments (except moving the stop loss to break even at a suitable time).

The targets that are shown on the chart are at 1.3005 (10 ticks), 1.3015 (20 ticks), and 1.3025 (30 ticks), all of which were filled by this trade.

If your target order has been filled, then your trade has been a winning trade. If your stop loss order has been filled, then your trade has been a losing trade.
