2009.05.14 TRO_AveragePrice

You know you are NOT supposed to do it.

All the trading books, videos and tapes tell you NOT to do it.

But, you do it anyway ( and so do I ) !!

YOU ADD TO A LOSING POSITION, DON'T YOU??

TELL THE TRUTH.

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!

TRO_AveragePrice plots you entry position and average exits.

FREE MT4 version TRO_AveragePrice, including SOURCE CODE, attached.

PLEASE DO NOT POST MY CODE ON OTHER FORUMS.

nope, I dont add to a losing position, and any small losing trade up to now would have turned out to be a big one if I ever added to a losing position while scalping. Maybe you could enlighten us newbies on how to do that and not lose the account ;]

sorry, i might have missed the point.

are you saying that you too sometimes add to a losing position and you admit that thats wrong? (since we are all human)

TRO already said that he admits that it is WRONG to add to a losing position. I've done that before, and one nerve wrecking sleepless night made me learn this rule for good !!!

Certainly, some times you might save money, the other- you will lose all positions that you add. And thats already complicating the trading.

instead, try multiple lot trading and taking profit gradually. ie enter with 0.3 if your account size lets you to, TP1=SL, TP2= TP1+10-15 pips, TP3= whatever, 100 + pips or more and move your SL to your entry to creat a "free trade".
With this strategy, even if your success rate is 45%, you will STILL be profitable. I use 0.02 lots, close half as soon as I scalp 5-9 pips, and let the other half go at least 20-30 pips before I take more profit.

Keep it simple. if you are stopped out just wait for the next opportunity. FX gives plenty every day.
