TWO PERCENT of your starting account balance for that day. So, in your case, if you start the day with $20,000, you should stop trading whenever you've made $400 of profit.

The idea behind this "rule" is to force yourself to not commit the sin of "over trading".

THERE IS NOTHING TO FIGURE OUT!!

The rules are simple.

DO NOT THINK... EXECUTE!!

If price touches the high (low) of the green (red) candle, you enter long (short).


Is this the RAT scalp and for the daily 20 from the high or low?

If not, then we take every signal given from the tro 2009 rat plot line then #-o

Not sure what the problem was but a couple of reboots seemed to fix things :) Seemed I had everything right but for some reason it just wasn't working. After I shut down for the day it all came good...go figure :)

If you WAIT FOR OPPORTUNITY and then start trading the reversals, you should be done trading in 1 - 4 trades on most days.

TRO

Wondering about your comment above that just came up before I go out and cut the grass.

"If you WAIT FOR OPPORTUNITY and then start trading the reversals, you should be done trading in 1 - 4 trades on most days."

Does this mean or imply that the statistics or odds of trading Green or Red Rat has a 1:4 or 25% success ratio?

NO.

Look at a chart.

Do you should SEE the rat reversal trades?

How many trades did it take to make 2%?

10 pips should be a 2% return on your account with proper position size.
