Execution
Liquidity and execution
Why the quote and your fill can differ.
Read the available liquidity
The displayed price is only part of the picture. The quantity available at each level and your order size affect execution.
Match order and intention
A market order prioritises execution; a limit order controls the acceptable price but can remain unfilled. Check broker and product rules.
Account for costs
Review spread, fees and slippage before comparing a setup with its planned reward and risk.

Trading around economic releases
Build scheduled announcements into the plan.
Know the schedule
Review the economic calendar for both currencies. Inflation reports, employment data and central-bank decisions can change pricing quickly. Confirm the spread and whether the original entry remains valid.
Expect changing conditions
Prices and spreads can move rapidly around a release. A stop can fill beyond its trigger and a limit order may not fill.
Record the decision
Write down whether the plan includes holding through the event. Review the actual outcome and execution afterwards.

Understanding failed breakouts
A move through a level does not guarantee continuation.
Define the boundary
Identify the range, timeframe and rule used to recognise a breakout.
Watch the return
Price may move beyond a level and then return to the range. Define invalidation before the event.
Avoid hindsight
Review the information available at the decision time. No confirmation rule eliminates reversals.

Stop-market and stop-limit orders
Understand the execution trade-offs.
Stop-market
A triggered market order can fill away from its trigger price.
Stop-limit
A triggered limit order can remain unfilled if the market moves beyond the limit.
Check the product
Order support, session validity and trigger rules vary. Read the broker and exchange terms for the instrument.

Sessions and rollover
Understand the timing behind the price.
Identify the session
Liquidity and volatility vary across sessions. Confirm the chart timezone and the trading hours supported by your broker.
Understand rollover
Retail forex financing or swap charges depend on the product and broker; check their rules.
Keep a clear record
Record the quote source, session and relevant charges or contract month in the journal.

What reward-to-risk tells you
Keep the planned ratio separate from probability.
Use consistent units
Measure the planned gain and loss using the same price units and position quantity.
Remember probability
A distant target can produce an attractive ratio without being likely to occur.
Review actual results
Costs, partial exits and changed stops can alter the realised result. Compare actual outcomes with the original plan.

Leverage and position sizing
Margin is not the amount you can lose.
Distinguish margin and risk
Margin is collateral required to hold a leveraged position. A small deposit can control a much larger exposure.
Calculate cash exposure
For EUR/USD, one pip is conventionally 0.0001. For 10,000 EUR, a one-pip movement is USD 1. Other pairs and account currencies require different conversions. Check the product and quantity conventions with your broker.
Allow for adverse moves
Gaps and rapid movement can exceed the planned stop risk. Check margin requirements, liquidation rules and total exposure before considering an order.
