DislikedI donīt know anything about your strategy so my apologies if mistaken, but this fairly looks like you scale in to a loser until it actually hits the top/bottom and than you collect profits on the way back down/up - certainly no problem if you know your levels well and what you are doing, but kinda risky imo if something unexpected happens and keeps the trend going against you...Ignored
My style certainly isn't for everyone, but works just fine for me. The first position I open is usually pretty small in size. 100pips DD on the one you were referring wouldn't have made me blink...and I often close my first trade in negative pips as the larger orders come toward it. I rarely open 1 trade at a time, so its tough to look at one position...especially the first one...and try and talk r/r.
I usually enter 2-5 trades as a sequence. The last trade in will be the largest in size, and have the tightest stop loss. Obviously works best around some sort of "known" zone...S/D, Fibs, whatever...for a bit of confidence. Can't really just start dropping orders in at random...although I have...and do...for a laugh at times.
Anyway...I don't really play by r/r. I like to earn a certain percent every week...and just do my thing until I (hopefully) achieve that.
