You bring a tear to my eye son
Hitting the buy-buy-buy(!) button on the way up, you would make fistfulls of cash & that is exactly all I really do.
These small trades where you risk 2-5% and cringe with terror when the market moves 8 pips against you is just...well I'll leave it at that.
I hope you mix in more long term trades in the future and find much success PRO !

This trade is killing me, So little for holding so long.
The advice was to (buy-buy-buy) as it would have been a little more worth the margin. But hey, I have a target.

Let us say that you are used to trading 2 mini lots, but you suffered a massive draw down and are now trading 1 mini lot:
Which is more easy:
A. $1 per pip with a 15 SL & targeting 5+ pips
or
B. $0.10 per pip with a 15 SL targeting 150 pips w/ 10 attempts to do so?
A: 10 trades mostly losers (60%): -$90 in losses + :
A1: 5 pips per trade?: -$90 in losses + $20 in profit = -$70 total
A2: 10 pips per trade?: -$90 in losses + $40 in profit = -$50 total
A2: 20 pips per trade?: -$90 in losses + $80 in profit = -$10 total
A2: 40 pips per trade?: -$90 in losses + $160 in profit = $70 total
(aha! PROFIT!)
or
B: 10 trades mostly losers (60%): -$9 in losses + $60 in profit = $51 total
What if my win % were 90%?
A: 40 pips per trade: $360 in profit - $15 in losses = $345 total
B: 150 pips per trade at 1/10: $135 - $1.50 = $133.50
But lets compare maximum daily loss of 10 trades:
A: -$150
B: -$15
And now subtract that from the total:
$345 - $150 = $195
$133.50 - $15 = $118.50 // getting closer! Off by $76.50!
Twice?:
$195 - $150 = $45! // profits are evaporating
$118.50 - $15 = $103.50! // Profits are holding steady
I've been looking at this for a couple hours now. It all makes sense up until:
"150 pips per trade at 1/10: $135 - $1.50 = $133.50"
This statement is assuming that you make 10 trades in a day, at $0.1 per pip, with a target of 150 pips for each trade, 90% win rate, 10% lose rate, stop loss is 15 pips.
What this math is really saying is that each trade makes 150 pips and that you do that 9 times out of 10 in a day. That's 1350 pips total for the day. This seems unlikely.
I have attached my Excel spreadsheet where you can play with the numbers. The numbers A1-A5, B1-B2, are just like in the examples from MightyOne and all input parameters are exactly the same as from MightyOne's A1-A5, B1-B2 so you can follow along.
I think it would be more correct if you put a "1" for number of trades for the last entry B2.
With the idea being:
Trade: Pip Profit:
1 -15
2 +18.4
3 +18.4
4 +18.4
5 +18.4
6 +18.4
7 +18.4
8 +18.4
9 +18.4
10 +18.4
Total 10 trades, total pips 150
Does this make sense to anyone else or did I miss something?

Life is just a journey
The point is that a smaller size hurts less when you are losing and greater targets pay the same as smaller targets with high dollars at risk.
I tried showing an example of this by introducing the "macro pip" which is 10 pips treated as a single pip. I went on to show that, in a lot of examples, 3 or 4 macro pips could be risked for the same 5+ (macro) pips targeted by the Rat Trade.
Less risk, no sudden spikes, spreads are not as significant, fewer losses, & SAME PROFIT in dollars...but everyone wants sextillions
