SELL (SHORT)

USD
If EUR increase , BUY(LONG)
If USD increase, SELL (SHORT)
The basis of the above rules should be the general trend of the Graph of the underlying currency pairs. If the general trend is Up , we can Buy or Long the currency pair but if its going Down , we need to Sell or Short the currency pair. The Stop Loss is assigned in order to prevent further losses if you happen to made the wrong choice . The Profit Target is assigned usually twice the Stop Loss to make a profit to loss ratio of 2:1.
