I was using retracements as the basis for my trades.  Everything I read
and everyone I listened to suggested that in order to succeed, i needed
to let profits run.  I noticed that I left a lot on the table so I
investigated a whole bunch of other systems.  Nonetheless, even though
the systems worked, they did not work for me.  I just couldnt let my
profits run and I wasnt good at implementing the strategies.  My
confidence soured and I reverted back to the scalping to get my equity
and confidence back.  Again, I tried other strategies and failed.   I am
back to scalping and feel real good about it.  I have a friend who
guarantees that I will fail if i scalp.  I have looked back at hundreds
of charts and recognize that based on my strategy of buying or selling
pullbacks, the success rate is near 80% with objectives of 1.5-2 points. 
The question is: can I make money?   I have done so, am doing so now, but
its bothering me that this buddy of mine insists that it cant be done.  

  BTW, I always have a 2 point stop in!

Gary,


First, if you're making a profit, keep doing it! Most people can't make a
profit

consistently, don't listen to them! Congratulations on beating the 
odds!


Second, (I don't trade the S&P, but individual stocks), taking a profit
is

the best way for me. I use pre calculated profit objectives (most often), 

subject to price action of course (can be over-ridden by thrust or lack
of). 

And don't care "how much I leave on the table". I can always initiate

another trade to capture the rest of the move (trend).


It depends on the trader's personality. Taking profits is great for

your peace of mind and "job satisfaction". Having a profitable trade

turn to a loser because of attempting to "let your profits run" 
consumes

your emotional capital. Trying to exit with a trailing stop can

increase your slippage because you are getting out after the trend,

with all the other panicking traders etc..


Hanging on to a trade without a profit objective is like trading 
without

a framework (for me). It's more emotional, more risky, less
calm/logical.

Emotional trading is too risky for my liking.


So there's nothing wrong with having an order in the market to take

you out at a pre calculated profit objective. If the trend still looks
good 

after you've exited, enter on the next retracement, make another 
profit.

These are businessman's profits, there is no need to hope for the

"big one".


Just do what works for you.


Best wishes,

-Neal.
