A free Dowteq tip!
- Scaling in as a trade goes against you .... e.g. on a long signal, you buy 1 contract, add a limit to buy another 10 points lower, and another 20 points lower, for up to 3 contracts total. This increases the total profit, but increases the drawdown terribly, so this is a bad idea, don't do it!
- Scaling in as a trade goes in your favor .... e.g. on a long signal, you buy 1 contract, buy another if it goes 10 points higher, and another at 20 points higher. In my experience this reduces the drawdowns relative to total profit. It worked on the old system, and now I am testing it with the new system.
I record the Dowteq signals, so I have been able to test all this!
