{quote} Yes sometimes like now on TRADE 27 letting the SHORT run negative for a bit, you don't have to hedge or average out straight away, or I could close for a 30 pip loss and still be up +290 since posting trades from last week
No I mean end of day, when you leave the market

I mean what if you had to leave the market for a month. No clue as to where the market is going right. So are your only two options to hedge or close out right? The other option of just leaving your current exposure has to much risk right?

I mean the mechanics of how you enter. Say for the first buy and sell (if that is how you are starting out for the trade) do you literally just press buy and sell real quick, or do you have a tool that enters both immidiately?

Some folks are visual like me (and lazy), don't want to try something without complete understanding (then what's the point of trying?). I guess you won't have complete understanding until you try. That's why I'm sharing a cookie cutter strategy:

1) Determine your instrument's ATR
2) Divide it by 10. That's your grid size, call it D
3) Draw your grid lines
4) Wait for price to hit the line, place buy+sell with TP of D
5) If price hits both TP, restart the process
6) if Price hits one TP and moves 2D distance, let's say down, place another buy without tp and sell with D tp
7) Price hits sell TP and starts moving up or doesn't hit sell TP and moves up, Close your position when the open PNL is 0 (your closed PNL is positive)
8) Price hits sell TP and moves another cell down, open again buy without tp and sell with D tp
9) try it for a week before asking questions
