No, he doesnt exit correctly, he adds massively to his losing positions in an attempt to get a better average price so he can exit nearer break even.
That is incorrect on so many levels. It is like a gambler going full tilt/full retard
You make a good point, but his position is relative to his account size. If he has, say access to $500K, then 1% per trade is $5,000, or 1,000 YM points for 1 contract, or 125 points for 8 contracts, with some adjustment for scaling in of course.
While I do not, nor would ever advise adding to a losing position for the small retail player, the big players do it all the time, in fact, they are doing it right now! We could head south next week, or maybe 2-3 weeks, or maybe even 2-3 months, but one thing is for sure, and that is the market is not going to keep going up, and when it falls, it could fall hard or soft, no one knows until it gets under way
There is a very old saying that will always hold true, and it is.."you need money to make money". A noob using leverage is a sure recipe for disaster, which most experience sooner or later.
Most are better off to never try trading, and should put the bit of money they have away for their kids future, or save it for the "rainy day"
