Trading EURUSD | Judas Swing Strategy 19/11/2024The Judas Swing strategy experienced a downturn for the first time in several weeks. After consistently delivering good returns, its streak ended last week. It was a slow week, yielding just one trade despite checking four currency pairs for potential trading setups. Unfortunately, the trade on EURUSD ended with a loss. So this week we wanted to see if things will turn around taking us into winning ways again with the strategy. On Tuesday, we observed a setup on EURUSD that piqued our interest. There was a sweep of liquidity at the zone's high at 1.05964, which shifted our focus to looking for selling opportunities during this trading session. Shortly after, a break of structure to the sell side occurred, indicating the need to wait for a retrace into the created FVG for an entry point. Our entry price was at 1.05894 SL: 1.05944 TP: 1.05694 Shortly after initiating the trade, we experienced a drawdown of approximately 6 pips. However, having set our stop loss (SL) at 10 pips, the trade had sufficient room to fluctuate. This underscores the crucial lesson of avoiding overly tight stop losses. To understand this better, one should dedicate time to backtesting, which assists in determining the optimal invalidation point for one's trading strategy. After 50 minutes in this trade, our patience was rewarded with a 2% gain on our trading account, from a trade where we risked only 1%
