When I talk to traders that are actually making money, I find out that they have one thing in common. They don't use stops and they view one trade as a series of trades. Usually adding till price swings around, getting them a profit finally. While I am not sure I could trade that way or want to, I will have to admit that I tend to do that on sim and it has turned most trades into winners. Yet when you do that against a major up or down move you get screwed big time. I think I will continue to use a 2 pt stop and just take my medicine if hit. I seem to be able to get my goal if I keep chipping away and just take low risk trades as I see them. Unfortunately that usually involves just reading price action and context and as such I tend to feel I don't really have a method. But I have found most (methods) suck. But if I am able to daily get around 4pts then I must have a edge and a method even I am unable to explain how I trade.
Somehow I must learn to see things when trading live as I do in sim. The brain glaze must go away !!
