Re: Smaller profits yields better results?

Try entering an ES position with 3 targets: 1.25pts, 2pts, and 4 pts +.

Use 1/3 position on each target with a reasonable initial stoploss of, say 2 pts ( 8 ticks).

When your first target is met, move the stop loss to breakeven (entry).

If the second is met, move your stop loss up to entry + 1.25pts, and trail your stop from there.

Assuming that your entry criteria and trading plan is valid, you should be able to at least get your first target, right?
