Partial off plus a runner without a fixed TP can work when the session has range. On XAU in a choppy London lunch it can also donate the open half back.PTScalper wrote:This is the holy grail of scalping logic. By removing the fixed Take Profit on the second half of your position, you transform the strategy from a standard scalp into an asymmetric trend-following system. When price chops, you take small losses.
I only trail the runner after the first scale is banked and spread is normal. If the book is thin or a red folder is due, I flat the runner rather than hope for the trend day.
Asymmetric payoff is fine. Asymmetric hope is not.
Do you disable the runner entirely around Tier-1 US prints, or only tighten the trail?
