Re: Trade scaling: was Trade size Question

1) I have made a good decision when the trade is profitable
2) I will add to a long position when it breaks out of the opening hour
range
3) I will add to a position if it travels 1/3 of it's 50 day ATR
4) I will add to a position if support has held and momentum rate of change
turns up.

As a matter of experiment,  use a 10 day, 50 day, and 100 day ATR and you
see how close they are.  Gives good entry and exit positions.
