A daily chronicle of results of one retail futures trader trading my own accounts. I define myself as a day trader and generally swing for at least a few points most of the time. But I do make the occasional scalp for ticks too.

That was the exact comment I was going to make about the r:r stat you added. It's fine to look at r:r overall (for the month/year or whatever) but wrt a particular day and trying to use it as something to 'aim' for is completely meaningless bec you can't aim for a particular G/L ratio in a day. (To the extent it makes you try to shape the ratio and convinces you to hold longer on G runs and min L runs it might be helpful though.)
ReplyDeleteMuch agreed - managing to a R:R is completely arbitrary. Let the market dictate the exit, and your entry methodology anticipate entries at locations that will provide little risk and maximum profit. The R:R then takes care of itself.
