So you're in a winning trade, market has decided to go in your direction, what's the best way to capitalize on such moves and make even more money, the answer is adding to winners, you should get big when you're right and cut your losses short when you're right.
In a book I've read, pyramiding was recommendeded which basically to add a lower size as the trade goes in your direction till you exhaust the trend, so For example let's say you get in with 0.05 and market prove you right, you then add 0.03 and it kept on going in your direction you then add 0.02.
while also moving your former stop. loss to break even on former position, so that even if the market reverses you'll still get out at breakevn and your only loss should be the current position you're in, you'll be able to stake up a nice size like this without compromising your psychology.
