Of course this is just opinion...

For every lot you trade break it up into 5 or 10 smaller positions and quit for the day after 5 or 10 losses.

Cut your losses short, let your profits run, one full size loss per day.

Personally I trade in multiples of 5 even though I could get away with multiples of 2 or 3.

Anything can happen on a single trade, but I know what is going to happen over several trades.

I believe in loss limits because losses should not be happening...

Say you are comfortable in your edge and take your signals as they come.

Should you have a daily loss limit? Or just trade your usual markets during your usual times?

I have just question about 3 trades I took today on EU. Is it your dynamic trend and "magic boxes" aka largest retracements or I am totally wrong and it was just luck????


Nice trading. 8)

You did very well Manta and I could not find any fault in your actions.

When you move beyond the technical and see the psychology then you will be outstanding.

Hi all!

I like this idea of "magic" box but only wonder how can you evaluate witch is the larger correction before it happen.

I mean, you can keep last one in memory, but what if next one is larger, will it be consider directly as a reversal... Looking afterwhile on chart it look logic but going trough a trend you can never know if this correction is the one to work from.

Maby the breakout reverse thing is the solution, or maby i'm on the wrong side of the track.

Any answer would be appreciated!
Later!

Yes ,Calculation is true but only Theory. You can't win every position. May be Every Ten posiziton you can win only 2 or 3.. İf you use Trendy follow system system, you loss every posziton in Choppy market.. you buy High, you sell Low..

Hi inzider,
it is easy, just draw the magic box on last correction and move it higher or lower with every new bar close. If the next bar closes outside the box, then you have breakout. Wait for retracement back inside the box and go with 2nd breakout to opposite side. Simple. If you dont see it, use movement between last two numbers 3 on semafor as reference. Semafor only shows high/low in last n bars. OK, it is not 100% holy grail, but it works very well.
