Since the topic doesn't have enough space, let me clarify, if you could locate them around 3 by 5 points, how would you position size? You're going to be adding to losers here but it won't matter because you're going to be right sometimes. Assume you get a signal at 1700. You are fairly...

Wait for RSI to close above 90. Short 1 contract. If price moves against you 2 points, short 2 contracts. If price moves against you another point, close 3 for a loss. If price goes in your favor with 1 contract, close after 2 points. If price goes in your favor with 3 contracts, close 2 at...

Now I get that the concept with trend trading is to have small losers, small winners, and big winners. Cognitively, I think this would be a superb way to trade. For you to know that you were never going to lose more than $100 on a trade but you might win $100 or $900 that would seem phenomenal.

The issue is can they be used with a strategy that scales in? I'm a tad confused here on how a 1 min chart has months at the bottom. Maybe we should pick some days with big trends and request that they send charts for each of those specific days.

There are zero winning trades on this chart.

Scrapping this now.
