))) I won't. Actually, I've already said it all. A stop is alarmist, a force majeure event. As an element of the idea of trading, it doesn't work. Proof? I don't even know where to send you. To what sources. Why don't we start with the law of conservation of energy (and matter as well)?

and market exits are also force majeure?
 
Avals:

Is market exit a force majeure as well?
What is it? Be more specific.
 
Svinozavr:
What's that? Be more specific.

No one is confused. You can also cut back with a stop or a limit, depending on the situation.

There's something wrong with stops. The euro is going to fall otherwise.

A missed profit is also a risk. Only it is realized not in a single trade, but in a decent series.

and what is the ideological difference? A stop is a 100% shortening of a position. The lot size for scaling in or out is a MM question. Although there is a variant when the system gives different signals and the actions are different. But in essence it is equivalent to a portfolio of systems and their joint MM.
