I know everyone has his or her own style of trading, though. I say to each his own

Just don't get caught.

I think the current trade you've got on is a good illustration of how this method is not particularly well suited to an uptrending market. You won't lose money trading this way in a bull market but you also won't get the chance to put on much size.

Not intended as a criticism, just an observation.
