🍔 How much does the US dollar really cost? Look at the Big Mac.

If a Big Mac is cheaper in one country than in the US, it indicates that the local currency is undervalued. As of spring 2026, this is still the case, as prices can vary a lot from country to country even when exchange rates look similar.

Fun as it is, fast food alone won't build a trading strategy.

⏰ The first 30 minutes of a trading session can set the tone for the day. The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy uses this early price action to identify trade opportunities.

The strategy is simple:

1️⃣ Wait for the opening range to form during the first 15–30 minutes of trading.
2️⃣ Mark the high and low of that range.
3️⃣ Enter a trade only after a candle closes outside the range.
4️⃣ Place your stop-loss just beyond this candle.
5️⃣ Set your take-profit at 2–3 times your stop-loss distance.

The strategy has a win rate of around 40–60%, but the risk-to-reward ratio can still make it more profitable. To filter out false breakouts, traders often use tools like VWAP or ATR, both available on the LiteFinance platform.

📈 You’re already in profit.

You could close the trade and lock it in, but then the thought comes in — what if this is just the beginning?

📉 So you stay in the position, watching the price move, deciding to wait a bit longer, until the market takes it all back.

👇 Relatable?

👩‍👧 You can have only 40% winning trades and still stay consistently profitable. The key is the risk-to-reward ratio.

A core rule professional traders follow:

❌ Never enter a trade unless your take-profit is at least twice as far as your stop-loss.

Before entering a trade, use the LiteFinance charting tools, mark the key levels, and assess the setup objectively. If the risk-to-reward ratio is below 1:2, skip the trade.
