Rewards in Forex

Many new traders think that a good entry into the markets is the key to success. Unfortunately, most are wrong. A trader must view each trade as a business transaction. A risk to reward ratio compares the potential for reward with the potential for loss. Risk is calculated by counting the pips between the forecasted entry price and the forecasted price at which you want to exit the market in case of a losing trade. Reward is calculated by the pips between the forecasted entry price and the forecasted price at which you would want to exit the market in case of a winning trade. Reward is the expected number of pips that you want to make in a trade that will be a winner.
