Setup 1: We bought the EUR/USD at 1.3216 with our stop loss placed 1 pip below the inside bar's daily low at 1.3084 (short order immediately cancelled).
Total risk: 1.3216 - 1.3084 = 132 pips
Our target level: 132 pips x 1.5 = 198 pips at 1.3414. This setup never reached our target but we moved the stop loss to break even (+100 pips trading rule). This trade was closed for 0 pips.
Setup 2: We sold the EUR/USD at 1.3158 with our stop loss placed 1 pip above the inside bar's daily high at 1.3278 (long order immediately cancelled).
Total risk: 1.3278 - 1.3158 = 120 pips.
Our target level: 120 pips x 1.5 = 180 pips at 1.2978. This trade was closed for 180 pips.
