you needed a 20 point rally to get to 3010 and get those profits when adding to a loser. you only needed a 10 point rally to get 1400 in profit adding to a winner. that is the biggest difference. holding a 4 lot for the entire 20 point move or holding a 1 lot for 10 points and a 2 lot for 8 pts...
again. volpri will never tell you or show you when he actually stops adding to a loser or what his max loss is or max position on a trade because he trades a demo acct and will just keep adding until the mkt turns. he also cherry picks his last 2 good entries before the mkt turns to make it look...
we can now compare the 2 outcomes
adding to loser vs adding to winner
loser ad = max risk was 1400
winner ad max risk was 500
loser add gain max was 2600
winner add gain max was 1400

1 more example
mkt is at 3000 we will buy 4 lots total. 1 every 2 points as the mkt drops. we will then do some exit all scenarios. then we will do the reverse on an add.
3000 buy 1 lot $0
2998 buy 1 2 lots $ - 100
2996 buy 1 3 lots $ - 200
2994 buy 1 4 lots $ - 600
average price is 2997 on 4...
at the end of the day it is risk vs reward. total risk vs total reward.
my premise is that my risk can only be based on what i am certain of which is if i am not in the mkt i have zero risk. if i have 1 position i have 1 risk 2 positions 2 risks 3 positions 4 risk get it
so i have posed this...
this is 1 of the better threads. let me show you how to answer the entry vs exit debate.
If entry is everything to you then you dont use a stop loss. why would you? you dont want to exit.
if exit is everything you would use a stop loss because you want to exit.
its depends on your strategy...
