Hello Rakesh
I am new to this system and do not have much wisdom as Saint has but still I will try to answer your question.
What I understood from your post is, your concern is that why do we add position even though it increases the risk.
you are actually looking at the current trade but The system is not about a single trade , its a cycle and the strength lies in Adding position. How is it , lets take an example from our previous trade.
Suppose you trade without adding position and I trade as per the system.
So in last trade I would have made 257*4=1028 points and you would have made 257 points.
Now suppose in the current trade imagine if Our SL would have Hit at 3942 yesterday. You and I both would have lost 4062-3942= 120 points. But I earned 1028 points in last trade and you earned 257. So cumulative I am up by 908 points and you by 137 points. Another such trade will take out all the profit you made in First trade.
So adding positions in the flow not only help us gain maximum from flow but also provide us a hedge if something adverse happens in coming trades.
This is what I understand , However I may be wrong.
I am not denying that adding position will always be fruitful, it can definitely harm some trades, but as I said earlier its not about a single trade.
Saint,
Whenever you get time, kindly resolve this eternal confusion of mine.
And secondly, since I didnt take that add at 4025 due to higher risk, I will be in a position now to add at 4104.
Sorry for bothering,
Rakesh

Yes..you had explained it logically this Sunday and I seemed to get it...but i think im again confused.
See...we took 2 lots yesterday...at a risk of 120 per lot....now even if we buy 1 lot...we will be assuming more risk, as the stops are exactly where they were yesterday..on our original position. So basically we are risking 1.5% instead of 1% that we should be doing.
I am sure I am missing something important....wat is it, I dont know.
Kindly help in your spare time.
Sorry for bothering again,
Rakesh
ps: by lots i mean the basic unit...it may be 50 for some...200 for others. the idea is of risking a certain % of cap and buying/selling accordingly.
