Am less likely to look up a symbol of what am trading as not to build an emotional reaction to the trade. Am more concerned with the story the price chart tell me. Everything that everyone knows is reflected already on the price chart. Supply and Demand tell you a story. Learn to listen to it.

I always do the same & it usually works more often than it doesn't; but thats not the point What is important is to cut the losses & let the winners run. In a world of 50/50 probability.

Rs/Rw means how much am willing to risk if the trade goes against me, divided by how much Reward is trade gives if it is profitable. A properly weighted Rs/Rw...
