    • Make sure you have a stop loss for the same amount of contracts and leave it

    Correct Answer
    A. Exit unitended contracts immediately and notify your risk manager
    Explanation
    If you accidentally put on a trade with more contracts than you wanted to, the best course of action is to exit the unintended contracts immediately. This is important to prevent any further potential losses or risks. Additionally, it is crucial to notify your risk manager about the mistake, as they need to be aware of any deviations from the planned trading strategy. By taking these actions promptly, you can minimize the impact of the error and ensure that proper risk management protocols are followed.

    Correct Answer
    A. Not using a stop loss is okay if you feel extremely confident about the trade
    Explanation
    The statement "Not using a stop loss is okay if you feel extremely confident about the trade" is not true. Using a stop loss is a crucial risk management strategy in trading, regardless of how confident a trader may feel about a trade. It helps limit potential losses and protect against unexpected market movements.

    Which statement is correct? - ProProfs

    Which statement is correct?

    • A is a resistance level and B is a support level

    • A is a support level and B is a resistance level

    Correct Answer
    A. A is a resistance level and B is a support level
    Explanation
    In technical analysis, resistance level refers to a price level where the stock or asset tends to stop rising and may reverse its direction. On the other hand, a support level is a price level where the stock or asset tends to stop falling and may reverse its direction. Therefore, if A is a resistance level, it means that the price tends to stop rising at that level, and if B is a support level, it means that the price tends to stop falling at that level.

    A move from Point A to Point B is known as what? - ProProfs

    A move from Point A to Point B is known as what?

    • Consolidation

    • Gap Fill

    • Breakout

    Correct Answer
    A. Gap Fill
    Explanation
    A move from one point to another, as described in the question, is commonly referred to as "gap fill." This term implies that there is a space or distance between the two points that needs to be filled or bridged. Consolidation refers to the act of combining or merging, which is not relevant to the context of moving from one point to another. Breakout typically refers to a sudden or significant change or escape, which is not applicable to the concept of moving between two specific points.

    Point A is the low of the 27th December 2016. Why would it not be considered as a good entry? - ProProfs

    Point A is the low of the 27th December 2016. Why would it not be considered as a good entry?

    • Too long ago

    • Not near another support or resistance level

    • Has recently been chopped though

    Correct Answer
    A. Has recently been chopped though
    Explanation
    The reason why point A would not be considered as a good entry is because it has recently been chopped through. This means that the price has been moving back and forth around this level, indicating a lack of clear direction or trend. As a result, it would be risky to enter a trade at this point as there is no strong indication of a potential price movement.

    You should be looking for trades with a minimum risk reward of?

    • 4:1

    • 2:1

    • 1:1

    Correct Answer
    A. 2:1
    Explanation
    The answer is 2:1 because it indicates that the potential reward of a trade should be at least twice the amount of the potential risk. This means that for every unit of risk, you should aim to gain at least two units of reward. This ratio helps to ensure that the potential profits outweigh the potential losses, providing a favorable risk-reward balance.

    This statement advises against trading if it would exceed the trader's limit, regardless of how confident they are in the trade. It emphasizes the importance of risk management and sticking to predetermined limits, even if the trade seems highly promising. This approach helps to protect the trader from potential losses and maintain discipline in their trading strategy.

    A dovish stance means high interest rates 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False

This is done to encourage borrowing and spending, which can help boost economic activity. Therefore, the statement that a dovish stance means high interest rates is incorrect.

    The comment is considered hawkish because it suggests a tightening of monetary policy by tapering the Quantitative Easing program and raising interest rates.

    • 9.30am

    • 10.00am

    • 11.30am

    Correct Answer
    A. 9.30am
    Explanation
    UK economic data is usually released at 9.30am. This timing allows for the data to be released early in the day, giving market participants and analysts enough time to digest and react to the information. Additionally, releasing the data at a consistent time helps in maintaining transparency and ensuring that all market participants have equal access to the information.

    It is 5 minutes before the release of the UK Services PMI, and we are trading near the low of yesterday where I want to go long from. What should I do ? 

    • It is 8.25am and I get in the trade right now because Services PMI is not an important piece of economic data for the UK

    • It is 9.25am and I get in the trade right now because Services PMI is not an important piece of economic data for the UK

    • It is 9.25am and I wait for the data to be released before getting involved because the data could reverse my bias

    • It is 10.25am and I wait for the data to be released before getting involved because the data could reverse my bias

    Correct Answer
    A. It is 9.25am and I wait for the data to be released before getting involved because the data could reverse my bias
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to wait for the data to be released before getting involved because the data could reverse the trader's bias. This is because the trader is near the low of yesterday and wants to go long, but the release of the UK Services PMI could potentially change the market conditions and the trader's bias. Therefore, it is important to wait for the data to be released before making any trading decisions.
