The ideas that I trade by:

[Dillinger]

Some of the more 'ballsy' methods:

I understand using a stop to save your last few pips once you get your lot
size up so you can unfold it back to a larger distance with a smaller lot size
and start over.

But what's the play when price moves close to your position right of the bat before you have had a chance to get your lot size up? seems to happen to me more often then id like

Is it better to just be willing to lose your initial risk and hope your position weathers the storm if price starts to get close or should you still take a partial stop and try to unfold what's left and start over even though it may not be much?

You don't want to get in the habit of cutting your own throat because you see the butcher coming; have hope, he might just choose another pig!

If you have lost all hope in the trade and you can get out with 10+ pips then you could move the space to a small chart to try and reinflate your risk space.

The smaller the size the more I tend to opt to do nothing where as the larger the size I am more inclined to take action.

I can't answer for Mo but it should work in any market.

Does anyone use space to accumulate on the smaller TFs on other instruments, like emini futures, or others?

I am asking because its hard to be fully attentive through both the London and NY sessions in order to accumulate on m5 or m15 charts, because being in the pacific time zone sucks for forex.

Have others applied MO's teachings on other instruments with less demanding chart time requirements?

Not sure what your account size is but the only thing with the eminis is the smallest contracts I know of are the dx and the ym at 5 bucks a tick with the other ones more like 10 or 12 bucks a tick. so a minimum of 4 contracts with something like hundred points of space to start puts you at 2,000 dollars risk.

Even if you are accumulating on smaller charts during the main session I think you still need a safe position(multiday) over night. They seem to use the over night electronic session or right before the open to run people.

Personally, I prefer options and spreads when trading Futures.

Take the space gained from the option, buy the outright, cut space to below an extreme, & leg into a spread where needed.
