I've never blown up an account...and don't say yet because it won't happen. Not my style and way too many years trading now.

You do not have THE way to trade, sorry to inform you.

you do not know to put a stop

you do not know how to put a stop.
accept it

 

[padutrader]

just trying to verify what you preached do work,

you have to get into trends early so your stop is small.

that is clear.

but the stop for a trend is below where it started.

not below a PB which is a range and breakouts from ranges fail, so if you enter above a range [PB] with a stop below,that stop will trigger

but the stop for a trend is below where it started.

Post an ES chart with your stop highlighted.
I showed you mine.

for those who get the trend change correct

Do you?

If it is early how do you know it is a trend?

 

[padutrader]

Do you?

I have some idea

but you are not going to find it if you do not even look for it

If it is early how do you know it is a trend?

everyone knows a trend

Little game made. Order window visible only buy and sell button. Everything else covered! SL 2 Target 5 points You see no price, no chart, nothing. Then every 10 minutes alternately to buy then sell. And for 2 hours. The win was not excessive but it was there! Blind trading haha ... So much for money management .... lol.
