I typically trade one or two positions for each trade so the three positions in the negative on the above readout were part of a winning whole. Also if I'm worried that a limit order may not get filled because the momentum is dying quickly within a few ticks of my entry, I am ready to execute a market order. This sometimes leaves me with two positions in the same spot because as I hit the market order the limit order can simultaneously trigger. Which I don't mind. I set my TP up anywhere from 3 to 35 pips depending where the trade is in the charts structure. When I'm trading a small pip trade I put my TP at 3pips for the first entry.( I usually have two orders anywhere from 10 pips to 25 pips apart depending if the trade is from a 5 minute chart or a 1 hour chart.) If the price moves through the first order my second order is waiting with a TP set to collect pips almost all the way back to the first entry. These trades end up making more pips in the end. Sometimes the price moves past the first and second position, at this point I monitor the trade very closely. I know from experience managing my trades that almost certainly the trade is about to reverse and typically retraces back to the first entry. However very rarely the price just isn't going to stop in a reasonable spot and I will kill the positions with no greater than 1% exposure, collectively about 40-50 pips. That being said I average 300 straight winning trades with my trade plan so the gains are much greater than the losses.
