====== Forex - Price Action - Timing of Trades ====== Place orders ahead of time and less often do market orders. **NOTE:** A general theme that shows up is about 70+% of all institutional orders are placed at prices ahead of time, while <30% are market orders. * Pay attention to key support and resistance zones. * These ‘zones‘ are where to place orders. * How long to hold: * Shorter holding periods will often require a smaller stop. * Will want to get as close to the support/resistance level as possible to create the smallest stop available while maximizing the upside. * Longer holding times will not require as much precision and will likely have a larger stop loss to avoid getting kicked out of minor swings to capture the underlying trend.
