The range
Your two orders
An example with typical numbers. Change any box to use your own.
Range 3,988.00 to 4,012.00, 240.0 pips wide. Place a buy stop at 4,012.30 and a sell stop at 3,987.70, each risking 1%.
- Buy stop at 4,012.30
- Stop 3,987.70 (246.0 pips), target 4,061.50 (2 R). Size: 0.04 lots, a stop-out costs about $98.40.
- Sell stop at 3,987.70
- Stop 4,012.30 (246.0 pips), target 3,938.50 (2 R). Size: 0.04 lots, a stop-out costs about $98.40.
- If both fill
- A break one way that turns and breaks the other way fills both orders. Cancel the second order when the first fills (one cancels the other), or count the day as up to two losses: about $196.80.
Orders 0.30 beyond each edge; stops on the far side of the range. Spread, slippage and gaps are not included: a stop order can fill worse than its price on a fast break.
Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it. Risk warning
Educational only, not financial advice; trading involves risk.
A breakout plan is mostly a risk plan
A range break is a simple idea: when the price leaves a quiet range, it often keeps going for a while. Many breaks fail and fall back into the range, so the stop and the size matter more than the entry. A stop in the middle of the range is smaller and allows a bigger size, but it is reached more often; a stop on the far side survives more false breaks at a smaller size. Neither is better on paper: test the rule on your market before trading it.
