Thread: How much do you risk per trade?

With this greater% like 5 weeks. . Before this I was using 3/5% but I didnt fine tuned my aproach; compounding?? Just the regular compound you make it in each new commerce using a new larger capital, the % per trade gets larger, etc you know the drill

Remember that I dont commerce like everyone its used also, I ALWAYS leave pips on the table, I dont care tendencies, I dont go for large R:R ratios, etc etc.. I only input when there is and I and satisfactorily grab a movement in 1 way using a 1:1 ratio thats all

% hit rate its VERY significant

Considering you got a winning egy, you need to compute it get the optimal position size to generate the desirable profit, but maintaining a certain risk profile (occasionally required by clients), drawdown, deviation, http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handb...on3/eda35b.htmkewness, kurtosis... then adjust it depending mainly on your personality. But you need to understand that and that's hard, because only if you have tried many, many decades all kinds of things you will receive closer to knowing everything you can do. And it's one think to compute a 20% draw down in excel and another one to really trade through it with real money,particularly a big account. Add to the thought that banks possess specialized te, with risk managers that required university courses and have many years of experience which compute this risk per trade, we have to do it all ourselves.

so what can you consider an unbalance....examples will be nice!

A failed attempt to move/keep moving in 1 way then it undo. . Its like when you hit the brakes on a moving automobile; it will not stop right away it will keep moving several meters; that additional couple meters its what I capture everytime

EDIT: how unbalance its what I measure, THEN I require the entry when its there really clear all of the time, its legitimate or is not a setup

Hello Havo,

Where do you put your stop loss? Justo above/below your unbalance range bar?

And your TP? Is it fixed? By how many pips from the entrance point?

Thanks ahead

Regards

Marginally yes. . It might be in two different points, depends on the moment

1:1

Many thanks for your response

so that your TP equals in pips a single range bar? What's the criteria you use to define the range of the pubs?

I'm asking because I am analyzing a new range bars and moving averages egy and I'd like to find a high frequency and reach rate on my patterns...

Regards
