- With the unfortunate drawdown came some lessons
- We calculated the hard stop with the worse case scenario. At what level would we receive a margin call based on the position size that was given.
- If this stop is well past what we expect, we sized the position with a higher probability of not getting stopped by a range or a whipsaw.
- New simple trend following clues and simple as a moving average. Noticed that the 100 Hour ema was great for this, it could last 7-10 days, even longer, but price respected this moving trendline. Not trading against this means you're safely with the trend.
- We finally took profit, at times it may have been too early, but this helped manage the drawdown. By closing out with profit, when the trade went against us the other way, the position size was smaller, less heat from drawdown.
