You are probably one of few traders here who have no Outcome Bias problem.

I trade with no emotion. I couldn't care less if I have a loss on any one individual trade. But, I want to be in when the big trade comes through.

I trade without emotion as well, but that doesn't mean I use a 30 point stop when the action is only 30 points potential.

Nobody was talking about emotions. We are talking about profits. Protecting gains and such...

If you don't really care if you win or lose, you shouldn't be in the market at all...
