QuoteDislikedA scalper, he has bad risk/reward,
so he needs very high probability. Look at the lottery, for example. Your state makes money
by selling you a lottery ticket. They have a very high probability
of being able to keep your one dollar, but they have terrible risk/reward. Sometimes they have
to pay a million dollars to a person who bought
a ticket for one dollar. A scalper has more risk than reward. He has terrible risk/reward. He can only make money
if he has a very high probability. There are things he can do
to increase his probability. The two that scalpers most often use
are they scale into trades – they add to their trade as it goes against
them – and they use a very wide stop. Some scalpers don’t even use stops at all if they’re very confident
about their position. Scaling in and wide stops
increases your risk; however, it greatly
increases your probability. Professional scalpers, they trade small. Very small, so that if the market
goes quickly far against them, they’re not going to lose more on that
trade, than they would on any other trade, and they also will not panic if
the market goes far against them.
DislikedSorry for the lack of posts this week. I'm travelling for work and the ctrader mobile app doesn't show order history on the chart. It will show a single order if delving into the order history but it's too much work to post everything. Hoping to get through a heap of Al's book in the coming days. Have a good weekend when it comes! (I'm not trading tomorrow) Prop firm progress below. {image} {image}Ignored
