Impressive pnl 1reason! I've noticed your exits on winning trades are generally 50-60 cents. Also if your winners are this amount, how much do you risk on each trade? I also trade a similar style, ie trending and capitulation reversals. Curious as to how long you've been trading for. TIA
Hi Pkang,
Thanks for your post.
When I have a losing trade its usually for a lot more than the average of my winning trades.
I do not have a set amount for a profit target in most of my trades as I watch the price action and simply try to get as much as the market will offer.
I think your correct in that it is a little over 50 cents currently but that amount was a lot lower and has been going up as I have been able to better tune the exits.
I am 40 now and started trading when I was 16 and have been on and off many times. I went full time into trading last month.
Best of trading to you.
