Hi Ira,
I do understand what your saying, but my question is what is the driving
force that helps you decide whether to exit at the 1/1 level or allow it
to
run to the 3/1 point or further? Do you trade 3 contracts for example
and
then scale out at each target point? Do you exit at the 1/1 if its
counter
to the higher trend as you suggest? What would happen if it was a
counter
trend trade but no reversal signal was given, do you hold it or scale
out
regardless? Is there some special factor that makes you hold a trade for
the
3/1 target as distinct from the 1/1 point?
