The Holy Grail (of trading) Does it exist…, and if it exist what does it look like…, And how would we know Is it a gold challis…, or perhaps a wooden cup The holy grail of trading – is that which allows a trader to consistently and repeatedly - extract profits from the...

BL Couple of things First Thinking and posting about stops last night in another’s thread – I came to realize the stop I called B/E is actually a 1 to 2 cent stop (but never more than 2 cents) I’ll use it, for example, where price is butting up against S or R, and it will...

BS, I wonder if using that small of a time frame going to give him the heebie jeebies (happy fingers) I remember back before I learned to see smaller time frames as the foundation on which bigger time frames are built – that I traded with smaller TF for the "action” (google juice if...

Yeah I never move my 'fixed" stop to B/E... it is set wide enough to allow for normal wiggle in the time frame I trade..., but no more than that..., and yet still small enough that several in a row won't affect me (money, or mentally wise) When I use a B/E stop - it starts out B/E - the...

Yes, no, and maybe The final say so is yours – obviously Below is a copy of what I posted in the other thread – see if any of it makes sense (rings a bell)… if not – no worries ================================================= Another thought to add As you get more...

OW77 Good idea Sir But I am also suggesting he dig deeper, than just trading, and bring into alignment all the stuff in his head... It is hell having 9 million screaming voices (thoughts) in your head - makes it hard to hear yourself think RN

BL You posted 2 losses back to back, one for $270.., the other for $420 – almost double I took that to mean your stops are all over the radar I don’t know anything more than what you tell me – and I assume nothing… A stop just below the previous swing low could be the...

My wife says the same thing My stops are deliberate (fixed), my entries are deliberate (has cause), but my entries also adapt to the direction of PA, stops do not…. And no I do not use a fixed profit target - PA dictates the target(s) Volatility – I may have entered, and exited for...

Why fixed stops for the plain jane day trader 1.) Having a random stop, means you think you can control / second guess the market / a given trade’s outcome (if only I give this one more room, it’ll work… ah this one however needs less room)) – you can’t 2.) Traders are risk...

Couple of things How is a fixed stop, not a maximum stop (and I disagree with the concept of a "maximum" stop any how) Second point.... (fixed %) You’re saying As your account increases, so does the amount you risk…. As your account decrease, so does the amount you risk...
