Disliked{quote} The point im trying to make is that it is not risk free even though it seems to be. On the surface it looks that way but on the portfolio level you are undertaking more potential volatility. Personally, the test that I would use would be to assume entering the initial trade at the max pyramid size. If this size is too risky for you then you should not consider pyramiding to this size. Of course, this is just a respectful suggestion. If you understand the implications and you are OK then more power to you.Ignored
Perhaps you can use the trading template example in post #46 to explain what you are saying. The last entry in that pyramid is for 6.23 standard lots.
In the example, I started with a $10k account. With a modest s/l of 200 pips that would represent a $12K risk to my balance. I obviously would not be able to open a position of that size under those circumstances. However, in the context of pyramiding that series there was no danger to my account balance, only floating profit to that point.
