Massive win for me, but risk was big too. Kind of got fed up of being stopped out (especially at the exact low and high ticks lol) so took it without a 'hard stop'. If it had have gone the wrong way, i'd have likely been looking at a sick loser! Don't plan on doing that again anytime soon! Back to tight stops for now
Out of curiosity, why not play an asset that allows you to take wider stops without needing to risk as much? I switched from trading ES and NQ to RTY a while ago because it's so much easier to scale into. Still $50 a point, but unlike NQ and ES, it moves in 10c increments, not 25c, which just feels a lot less overwhelming. Plus with the Russell having a higher beta all around anyway it's got more volatility. Just a thought.
Hey glazier, Do you think maybe you are over trading? why not wait for the A+ setups and only take 1 or 2 trades a day and be done with?
