Re: Ticks

Part of it has to do with the execution platform in my opinion.

To constantly adjust orders and readjust still requires some amount of brain power that is wasted because of that.

I just may have to open up that account with Infinity to find out if execution platform is playing a role in my trading.

Tradestaion and IB are too time consuming when it comes to bracketing orders and then readjusting after.

I had this in mind regarding scaling out.

stop -10
exit half +6 profit
move stop to -5, now the trade becomes risk free and only cost of commission, but done automatically thanks to the execution platform.
let the last half run and see what happens.

But I do agree my exits are wishy washy, I'm trying to be flexible on my exits and strict with my entries.
