This topic, in principle, is rarely discussed., and meanwhile I consider the presence of a habit trash profits one of the components of success. The trawl does not have to be mechanical. Trash profits it is possible mentally. You can trust your intuition, can be carried periodically protective stops. I used to trade like this: opened a position, having analyzed schedule, noting support/resistance levels, by drawing channels, pulling the Fibo mesh, could still apply «rule of seven» Sclarew to calculate the exit point from the transaction, etc.. Further – waited. waited, waited and often made a profit, but unrealized, and in the form of increased equity. Since I traded in the medium term, I could accumulate it for weeks. And then, used to, a few crazy days and the profits were melting before our eyes. believe in that, that there was a reversal and you need to cover something, what is – did not want. After all, there are landmarks, the price CANNOT go back there again, where did you come from. Yes. Can not. Theoretically. And practically you get a loss. Offensive? Was right, had a profit. And got a loss.
Then he began to use the transfer in breakeven. This is also ineffective in my opinion. Again, we prefer marking time over profit taking.. Someone will say, what trades trends, MM is designed for powerful and strong movements, that is why the trawl is not used. But why then b / y? Fear! Whatever they say, but it is the fear of losing money that makes you do it. After all, if you put a stop in used, then you theoretically assume, that a refund is possible? Then why don't you waste your profit?? And the only right option is to abandon the old and ossified schemes. If we made a profit, but could not take it – this is mistake. Why didn't we take her? Ah, Yes, market… He is such a. And I once said to myself, what is not the market, I'm such a fool, that I lost so much money, focusing on some dogmas and schemes, which were good during the trend period.
«Don't confuse your own genius with a bull market«, – famous phrase. Think over her. Everyone looks great traders on bull market. You don't need much mind – buy and you are in the black. And then there is confidence that, what «turns out, I can, it turns out I'm cool, great strength in my brain…» Such successful periods in career of a trader make it mosk inflexible, clinging to old schemes. You know, i think so, What do you want traders, which will take place in Trading these crisis years and won't break – gain invaluable experience. First of all because, that they will have a hard time, They dont have «bull market«. They'll have to THINK.
Returning to our rams, let's look at the pros and cons of using trailing in trading.:
FOR:
1. More completed profitable deals;
2. Absence of fear lose money in case of a reversal;
3. Not «trampling effect» in place, what many traders sin, using used feet
AGAINST:
1. with strong movements, but with corrections, manage to take a small part of the movement, missing the main part. But I'll say this: trawl trader for that time, till positioner catches your trend will have a good profit.
All in all, try to analyze your trade. Ask yourself questions like this: how many of your deals are profitable at all? If not – then the analysis is lame. (Victor Barishpolts generally wrote, what's about 90% deals go to + ) Why were you missing out on profits? Have you effectively covered that profit, which had? etc.
