Shooud you let the profits run OR take smaller profits and increase position size?

    Additionally, any stats you compile will be unstable because markets change.

  2. I like taking 1/2 off letting winners run other 1/2 or to BE out.

    Well I slave to the ES up to an hour, I have worked hard at keeping losing percentages very low, so I can increase volume and get the profits I want. I have the rest of the day to do life. All the years of trading hours and hours. Mostly in all the hours I am programming so to automate my systems, so someone else can watch the trades and I will travel.

    I worked hard to get to the point where I no longer need to travel, all I have to do everyday is just trade in my own beautiful home.

    I spent most of my life glued to screens.

  9. This is actually what I learnt after first year of trading and it works real nice. taking the half and moving to breakeven will put us on relax mood as we know there is nothing to lose and concentrate on next entries.
