well, how long do your successful rat trades take? seconds? minutes? several bars? i know, it depends... but do you have a minimum time before which you just ignore that price is stalling?
on my screenshot you can see that i closed the position as soon as price stalled. tomorrow, i'll try holding the trades for at least 2 bars and see what happens then.

Avery

I have a simple question. I use bracket orders OSO/OCO. Have you figured out a consistent method of staying in the trade longer without using fixed targets/stop loses.

I am not asking for trade secrets. A simple yes/no would be a perfect response. If you are inclined to give any hints or point in 1 or more directions thanks.

Just don't lose 5% of your account in any given week.

Not sure how to answer.

I don't have any "secrets" when it comes to staying in a trade. You need to have your exit play book and trade accordingly.

Remember, you can always exit a part of the position to lock in profit and let the rest ride.

If I am down 5 - 6% then it's time to quit.

do you close trades with any loss smaller than your stop loss? or do you just wait until price either hits the stop loss / goes back into profit?
