Hey guys, I know this thread is a little old, but I ran into an interesting article today that explains better what I was trying to get at in post #18 of this thread. There's a nice little chart...

The end result would the same if we both lost. Actually, you'd need 2 units to risk the same as me. ($375) But, the odds of me winning a 1-1 ratio trade before you are higher. It's much easier to...

Doing it my way, I...

Yeah, this is a misunderstanding. Obviously, you can't risk $375, if you're only shooting for $62.50.

Think of each unit added as a new trade. On the 1st unit (or trade), we're risking 5 ticks...

Not trying to start an argument, and I do appreciate your help, but I didn't really feel I was "adding to a losing position" or "averaging down". I had a stop at $375 or 1.5% of the account. It was...

Well, I did a quick read of "Reminiscences", and "How to trade in stocks", and both books were good reads.

But, as I was reading, my mind was thinking "Turtles", "Donchian", or in other words...

Good question...

Maybe we could do something like this. Say we have a $25,000 account and we don't want to risk more than 2%. ($500) So, here's another screenie of the same chart, but this time,...

There's nothing to it, really. I'm just looking for obvious S/R (support and resistance) levels and getting in about 5 ticks before the level is penetrated, on the assumption that many traders will...
