How can you define what you're willing to risk before making the trade? I use technical levels to determine where I put my stops so I can't say that im willing to risk a standard amount per trade...

your balance * risk% / stoploss = lots to put in that trade

say you want to risk 1% every trade , so you have : balance*0.01/SL(pips) = lots to put in that trade

correct me someone if i am wrong

You forgot the pip-Value.

The correct formula is (your balance * risk%) / (Stoploss in pips * value of 1 pip)

EG: (10.000$ * 1%) / (50 * 10$) = 0.2 lots

Test : 50 pip Stop on a 0.2 lot = 0.2 *50*10$ = 100$

i just got a question.
assume the bellow example with what you said.
i have 18 wins and 9 losses
and my balance is $50.the risk in the first trade will be 50% ($25). so if i lose my first trade my balance is $25.What if i lose the next 3 trades in a row.my balance will be close to 0..i guess for this the winning odds should be like i make 10 trades continuous profit and after that i lose 1 trade..then only it will work and it will be better if the 11 loss also comes after 5 trades atleast so that the trader wont get affected psychologically or emotionally affected.

Anybody who pass 10 steps
This year, I reached the 13th level 6 times but then sliding back to 11th or 10th level. But me with a friend worked extensively on this to achieve it in some other way. For us a single Trade is not a level, Instead many trades can be there in a level.

Dear no particular strategy. Just closing the loosing trades early and letting the profits running and multiple positions. Closing all the positions if the profit level or loss level meets. This produced to me wonderful results.

How and when do you enter multple positions ? how far will you let profits go before adding more on what timeframe and so on ? How many positions do you devide your risk placement on ?

How you enter ?: Sorry, I will not explain in open. But i will let you know that it's an EA which makes the decision but i only let EA to run on appropriate times.
How you enter multiple positions? : I use the a concept; Risk the earlier trade Profit in the next trade. When earning some certain amount of pips on 1st trade then initiate the second trade and Its SL would be same as Profit of first. And So on and on. Remember in this case our risk is same as the first trade but we increased the expected profit magnitude.
i.e Your Profit Magnitude = No. Of orders running X Risk of First Trade
Loss = First trade loss
This also answers your Risk placement question.

what timeframe you use: Since time frames are useless in my opinion so i do not use any particular time frame in decision making. If something means a little to me that Daily and Weekly timeframe but i don't make my entries on these times. They are only referred for deciding the trade direction.

I hope, I have answered your questions.

If i understand it you have many small losers ? And even more breakevens ? You need a trend with shallow pullbaks so your stops dont get hit. How many positions can you have at one trade ? you go for a target of 1:2 ? or you disregard this and add more positions so after 3 of your positions move in your favor your add another one and so on ?
