Quote from JimmyJam:
Here's an idea of how 5P does it:
1. Take the S/R trade as you've outlined it.
2. Add a 2nd contract after 2 ticks of total profit.
3. Add a 3rd contract after 3 ticks of total profit.
4. Add a 4thc contract after 4 ticks of total profit.
5. Take profit on 1st contract after 4 ticks of total profit.
6. Take profit on 2nd contract after 6 ticks of total profit.
7. Take profit on 3rd contract after 7 ticks of total profit.
8. Take profit on 4th contract after 8 ticks of total profit.
If trade reverses he probably has the opposite position setup 1-2 ATR's from original entry.
If you could program it the results might be interesting.
