To become a successful forex trader, you need to have good skills in determining buy or sell direction. At the same time, you need to have a good risk management skills too.

Risk management tool for buy trading entry is the 3 click chart object. This means that you need to click three times in your chart to locate the object. For buy trading entry, the price level of the first click will be the profit target (assuming it is highest). Then, the price level of the second click will be the buy price. Finally, the price level of the third click will be the stop loss price level (assuming it is lowest).

You do not have to locate the risk management tool perfectly right place for the first time. You can always double click the object to modify each price level as well as relocating the risk management tool in another place in your chart.

For example, after double clicking, to adjust the profit target, move the box to anywhere sensible for your profit target. Likewise, you can adjust the buy price and stop loss price by moving the square box. To relocate the entire risk management tool, you can move the thick middle box with your mouse.

For example, say that you want to trade on reversal (=turning point) with the demand zone in EURUSD (Note that this is just a quick example to demonstrate Forex risk management.). You can locate the risk management tool like below. The risk management tool will automatically calculate your reward against your risk. Hence, you know how much risk is involved with your buy entry. What is even better? It will automatically calculate the breakeven win rate. Hence, you know how reliable strategy you need to achieve your profit goal.

For the risk management sell tool, the first click will be your stop loss price level (assuming it is highest). The second click will be your sell entry level. The third click will be your take profit target.
