Do you have any tactics for dealing with the loca? - page 12

 
Swetten:

A pretty competent trade in my opinion.

Licking the market for all it's worth.

joo has a point, in my opinion.


AND YOU?!

Well, what's to stop him from taking the same entry and exit points to mt5

Tex

I'm off to "humor" for good.

I think no one will, if MTS does it.

But with human needs (Maslov with his pyramid comes to mind ;) - the lock gives time to rest, and most importantly! - opportunity to assess the situation and make an informed decision.

Denis Orlov clearly distinguished between stop and lock.

Good post. Bingo!

About locks: a trailing stop is different from a stop, just as a drawdown is different from a stop, from Breakeven, or even from a profit.

A stop is an incurred loss, a loss of funds.

Lock is a fixed drawdown, with the possibility of waiting for the reversal, but still be able to earn on the drawdown. And you can always close it like a stop loss, minus swaps of course.

I think everything depends on the strategy. I think the lock is applicable to the reversal strategy, when the reversal is "postponed", but very likely.

 

Mischek:

So what's to stop him from using the same entry and exit points to slice everything into mt5?

So who's going to let him open counter-positions?

And reducing the positions won't lead to anything. If only to the lost profit, at least.

Read that as a loss.

You have an error

Figure it out on your own.

Not according to the arithmetic. If you keep applying the tactic.

But again according to the report - losses, not profits ;)

Although the arithmetic of netting and countering is similar.

The psychological perception is different.

 
Mischek:


You've got it wrong.

Sort it out yourselves.

That's not very gentlemanly...

I don't recognize it. ;)

 
FreeLance:

in terms of arithmetic, it's not really true. if you keep applying the tactics.

But again according to the report - losses, not gains ;)

OK.

At a glance, when trading counter orders without closing the current positions, 1800 pips were taken.

Show me, if you do not mind, how and how much will be taken on netting.

 
Mischek:


You have the error

Handle it yourself

After all we've been through? :)

I'll come back, I'm lazy now.

The same.

Just record your trades. and check through netting.
