    as i trade brooks one thing becomes clear..

    once the trade is on it has to be evaluated on a constant basis to know when to take the profit.....

    this is critical ....if not many of the trades get stopped out

    I do appreciate your effort to give a demonstration trading "the Brooks way".

    But if you can't pull this off, I certainly can't...

  10. Why do you need to evaluate a trade on a constant basis. Why not just choose a target and stop? Don't you think if you are constantly getting stopped out, your stop is too close to your entry? Don't you think once you are in a trade, you are less rational and therefore it's better to have automated your stops and targets?

    What part of his book says you must constantly evaluate your trade?
