I have decided that I am am going to take my risk down to 2:1 and stop trying to get these home runs, I realized that I have seen my position go to 40 to 60 points positive and then reverse and stopping me out. I have realized over the pst few months that the market is going to do whatever it wants to do. I have seen many very successful traders and they almost always have a 2:1 RR ratio. I also have realized that I do not need to capture the entire move just a portion.

I had those same problems a few times. I noticed is way better to get partial profits from a move then price coming back and stopping you out.

I like to have a bunch of small profits, small profits equal big gains at the end.

Watch Moneyball with Brad Pitts if you havent. Great motivational movie and it applies to trading as well.

Is based on a true story, Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland A's, was under budget to build a team. He build a team of baseball players that no one wanted, but he brought them on the team for one reason only. Statistically, the players were good a getting to first base. He almost won the world series with that team, he basically changed baseball.

All we need is to get to first base.
