My point exactly. Trading is all about what works for you. Maybe my simple concept won't work for you.
Its not about being right, its about cutting losses when you are wrong (and you will be - its unavoidable). I'm going to assume Volente doesn't post his trades because any combination of these factors: 1. its tedious 2. little benefit 3. people bitch and don't believe you anyway 4. 90% of this strategy is money management ie stops, targets, and scaling which will vary from trader to trader (Volente's favorite book is Trading in the zone) -Correct me if I am wrong, Thanks
It seems that Tortoise took that lead from from Jagmont's opening statement where he used fractions...your point is valid , however we are trying to get a grip on this idea and would like an update from Jagmont. Volente, were the results at 6 points and 8 points profits as strong as 10 over a given period using the 3 point stop?
You are correct and that short is now in play...I was reading it from the chart, that's why I got it wrong...
So here comes the discriminatory part, should you cover or should you let it ride? ES is at 1277.50 I would definitely move the stop loss to breakeven...
