Tony Touch - The Piece Maker (2000) Definitely one of the most epic CDs ever :thumbsup: http://www.pp2g.tv/vYn19a3A_.aspx (no YT vid unfortunately)

Consider using a fixed TP for a while until you get more comfortable letting winners run. Get out at the first sign of trouble like you do now, but as soon as you have moved your stop to BE and set your TP, your job babysitting the trade is over and you should get away from the computer and let...

It's all about expectancy. If (win prob * avg. win size) - (loss prob * avg. loss size) > 0, then you basically have an edge, and over the long run, a profitable system. Check out this random equity curve simulator: http://www.hquotes.com/tradehard/simulator.html With an avg. win size of 39...
