2. Closed Candle S&R Break
3. Wick from S&R (entry2)

8/. (not shown) Exit hedge on memo extreme at line 3
Is price closing higher or lower than something? Simple yet powerful question. ..MO

Wow MightyOne I have been thinking about this new idea you recently
presented. It is unbelieveable how powerful it can be averaging more lots
into a trade without adding risk. It looks to be a very logical way to do it. :) Great way to trade big moves being greedy and all. 8)

It is all about putting that cushion of profit to good use.

Im think there are two ways for Risk control with scaling in:
1. Risk stays at the same level (needs stop adjustements after adding)
2. Total Risk is calculated for the hole position (4Units) and the first two entries are just 1/2 Position (no Stop addustements needed)

MO: You told us many times to not move sl. Can i assume that this means the risk control method is more like the 2. mentioned?

Thanks for all your help!

As I told PRO, you want your average risk to be 0.9% per day.

4.5% / 5 days = 0.9%

If you have a $1,000 account then your max risk would then be $45 for the WHOLE WEEK (kind of hard to use all $45).

If your entry strategy is 5,000 + 5,000 + 10,000 then:

With trade one it doesn't matter if you are immediately wrong on a few trades as you have 90 pips to work with.

Trade two you have 45 pips + your cushion of profit.

Trade three you are working with 22.5 pips + your cushion of profit (which should be reasonably large ;)

The number of pips that you have to work with drops as you lose (of course).

The most you can lose is 4.5% but every 100 pips you gain you make 20% or 4+ weeks worth of losses.

The only thing that can stop you is losing your own money.

Don't stress about losing profits...it is for a good cause :lol:

I always tell people (even my close friends) that if you want to get out then you should do so at the extreme.

How many times will price NOT make a lower low?

ONE TIME!

"But what if price doesn't make a lower low and I give back my profit?"

How much profit are you giving back if you do not exit at the low the other trillion times it went on to make new lows?

Feel free to argue with me :wink:

Thanks for your time!

loosing profits and loosing trades are part of the game.
Tell me if i undertood it right? So what your saying is because you limit your daily loss to 0.9% It is not that important where your initial sl is because your max daliy loss is <1% and your max weekly loss is max 4.5%?

I am saying that I will not lose more that 4.5% per week.

Whatever I can do with 4.5% of my account on any given week is what I can do.
If I make 16% and decide to risk that 16% on a massive TF chart then so be it.
Either I lose 4.5% or make 40, 50, 70, or even 148% when all is said and done.
