TP is set at 2:1 Reward:Risk, so if SL (1% risk) is 10 pips, TP is 20 pips(2%)

Thanks for the answer K, just to add to that...
2:1 R:R is standard and has to be achieved before the TZ 1 we are working towards. If That TZ1 is say 2.5R or 3R away i may be tempted to target that level instead of the standard 2R. Doesn't happen very often but it does happen.
Hope that helps

Good Afternoon folks,

Re: Grants Journal [Awarded Title: Guru of the Gurus]
A great end to the month, and year Grant.
Thank you so much for not only sharing your flowchart, but also your trades through out. They truly help so many people.
Also, on a personal one, thanks also for helping me personally, with your trading advice over the year. I'm pretty sure it would have been frustrating at times, but you have helped me immensely, along with Immy and Steve
I wish you and your family a very merry christmas, a fantastic break surrounded by loved ones. Keep safe, and look forward to continuing the journey into next year. I am looking forward to the break for a refresh myself, but also looking forward to the start of the new trading year and the consistency that will occur.
