Drill: trail 5 sim winners to invalidation
Hidden-candle, no early exits allowed.
20 min · Advanced
What you'll learn
- Manage five simulated runners from T2 to invalidation using only structure-based trailing
- Make hold, trail or exit decisions one candle at a time without seeing the future
- Record and score every stop move and exit against the trailing rules
Key takeaways
- Trailing skill is built by repetition under realistic uncertainty, which hidden-candle mode provides.
- Trail only after a higher low or lower high is confirmed by a close.
- Raising a stop with no new structure is a fear move, not risk management.
- Grade each rep on rule-following, not on how much the runner made.
Glossary
- Hidden-candle mode — A Simulation Lab replay setting that reveals one candle at a time, removing hindsight.
- Rep — One complete practice repetition, from runner setup to trailing-stop exit.
- R per share — The profit or loss on each share divided by the original risk per share.
