But, once you enter a trade, if you are not following a Forex trading plan and keeping track of your trades in a Forex trading journal, you are very likely to experience extreme temptation to make one or more of the above mentioned trade management mistakes. • The 50% trail technique is also popular, in this technique you trail your stop to 50% of the distance between your entry and the newest high / low as the market moves in your favor; thereby locking in profit as the market moves in your direction, this technique generally gives a trade more room to breathe but it can also give way a lot of open profit if a trade comes back beyond the 50% level and stops you out.
