What you'll learn
Managing Live Trades
- Scaling in (and when not to) — free: Add only on confirmation, never to average a loser.
- Partial exits & runners — free: 1/3 at T1, 1/3 at T2, trail the last third.
- Moving stops to breakeven — when?: After what kind of confirmation, never before.
- Invalidation: structure, not feelings: When the setup is dead vs. just uncomfortable.
Avoiding the Premature Exit
- Why you exit early: Reading your own fear and engineering it out.
- Letting winners run: Trail stops behind structure, not behind feelings.
- Drill: trail 5 sim winners to invalidation: Hidden-candle, no early exits allowed.
