If you don't have a system, you will be "stopped out" all day long, trade less often with a wider stop and wider profit targets. If you are using a one point stop, what is your target?
Your entry would need to be precise; otherwise you could get stopped out on noise. If you're mainly trading breakouts/break-downs, a 4 tick stop could work. I use a 2 pt initial stop-loss on ES.
If you have a final hard stop, for traders. You just put more contracts at the smaller stop and less contracts on the bigger stop. But 99% of traders fail anyway.
A one point stop means get FLAT, not add! Averaging in to a losing position is a whole other ball of wax.
Do you understand the difference between a STOP and averaging into a position? I never said I employ a one point stop did I? Please read what The OP asked, and answer it wiseass. Now I know why I rarely participate in these threads.
I think a 1pt stop in the ES is tough to trade with. Either you have to enter near perfectly at strong support/resistance or you are hopping on strong a strong trend. Even then your stop may get hit too often to be profitable. You need a plan and test it.
