To scale out is like to trade 2 (logical) accounts at the same time - each with a different take profit level. If you do this for some time already, you can just calculate and compare how each account alone and the “ensemble” account perform.

But you can see all these professions and woodworkers, oil painters (artists), blacksmith, beer makers, salami and sausage makers, bakers etc gathering on public forums discussing all the possible minute details intricacies and nuances and much more of their trades. Just Google it, it’s easy to...

People are attracted to mystical things

Nice post. Interesting how fast it was buried under not very useful comments, after some good time of silence in the thread. About nysestocks, the guy called “the expert” sounds like him for me: https://www.trade2win.com/threads/how-to-trade-full-stop.87916/ I stumbled upon other instances of...

Precisely.

I don’t know what is the “official” obvious that is not obvious. But, I know 1 thing that is very simple and obvious but very hard to do and also is needed in all timeframes and most people will never know how to do it. Also, if told, people still will not make use of it and it’s hard to do for...

Can’t you read? If you can, can’t you interpret? “For example…” EXAMPLE

As above, so below.

And what is that? Everything that goes up, comes down? Or, nothing goes up or down forever? Interesting is that this idea is somewhat contradictory with “trend with the trend”, so maybe better to “trade with the trend”, but not too much, and take profit early. How early? Earlier than you would...

The obvious that is not obvious is that you should take profit early. It is obvious but it is not obvious for obvious reasons: it is really not obvious!

No

Even if I would be sure, I think I should not be attacking anyone, and I indeed did not do it. I just tried to answer a direct question and was replied that it was of no value - what may be true, but it’s an answer anyway.

I don’t know the OP’s intention, but in my first answer I speculated a possible usefulness: it may show that it is maybe better to try to catch two small moves, keeping leverage, than a bigger one of the same size of the 2 small, everything else constant (including stop loss). But as I already...
