One of the best ways to illustrate good forex trade entries is with examples. This article will provide example forex trade entry trade conditions for two pairs.

Example Forex Trade Entry 1
The Forexearlywarning trading system has various alert systems. If one of the alert systems notifies you to check the JPY pairs, for example a price alert goes off, or a mobile app notification goes to your phone, then follow these steps. Check check the JPY pairs for a good trend and trading signal. In this case the trader receives a notification or alert the JPY is weak on The Forex Heatmap®, so the trader should consider a buy on one of these pairs.
Example Forex Trade Signal
The live signal above indicating JPY weakness resulted in a 70 pip movement on the CAD/JPY pair. This is enough movement to enter the trade safely and move your stop order to break even.
Example Forex Trade
So if you bought this pair, and this pair is ranging between support and resistance on the on the H1 or H4 time frame, the trader would look to scale out lots and look to exit when the pair hits the next major resistance area on the same time frames. Scaling out lots means that if you bought 6 mini lots you close out 3 mini lots, then keep the remaining 3 lost until it hits the next major resistance area on the H1 or H4 time frames. The trader would also adjust the stop to break even on the remaining 3 lots. You can read this for more suggestions on how to take profits on a forex trade.
