I plan to add at around 5710-5720 if we get there before the close.
People are panicking and asking for SL. My SL for this trade is above 5900 at which point the market would have returned to a bull market.
For me, trading is like running a business, and the most important part of this business is risk management.
My first line of defense in risk management is position sizing. A full position = 30% of margin. This is notthe intraday margin used by degenerate traders and brokers offering 999X leverage, this is the overnightmargin requirement. If you're panicking over a 100 handle paper loss, you've likely opened a positionlarger than you can handle.
I rarely use stops when I trade. I'm only providing them because people keep asking. I avoid using stopsbecause I dislike them, placing a stop exposes you to whipsaws. If you've been here long enough, youknow how often algos hunt our stops. Instead, I prefer to monitor trades manually and cose positions only when I'm convinced I'm wrong.
If I make money by doing the wrong thing, it bothers me.
I know that over the long run, a few lucky trades won't sustain you in this business, only consistently doing the right thing will. To succeed, your process must be repeatable, scalable, and manageable.
