Every time I only close half of my position to add more, the market just returns to the entry price or stop-loss level. After only about 2R, it reverses. Conversely, once I decide to wait until I reach 2R to close, it shoots up instantly… I’m really stunned :))



Vader is still in testing, comparing which approach is more reliable—keeping the fixed target of 2R unchanged, while trying a combination of partial take profits and adding positions to see which has a higher win rate in actual trading.

Currently, the account size is $1,000, adjusting strategy parameters on the fly. This benchmarking is very interesting, as it reveals the performance differences of various risk management frameworks in live trading.

This is a classic options paradox: whichever you choose, it won't choose that... Gradual profit-taking is essentially a psychological game with the market; the win rate isn't necessarily high and can easily lead to repeated losses.

This is a typical futures psychology. Once the strategy is changed, the market moves in the opposite direction, as if it's reading your orders haha.

That's Murphy's Law. When you want to add to your position, it drops; when you want to maximize your holdings, it soars. Truly incredible.

That's Murphy's Law: the more you don't want to be cut, the more you're cut.

Haha, this is the curse of trading. No matter how you want to go, it just does the opposite.

That's Murphy's Law: when you're greedy, it drops; when you're cautious, it soars.

This is a classic case of "Schrödinger's take profit" — it moves in the opposite direction when you act, and soars when you do nothing... Truly amazing.

This is trading psychology haha. Move and you make a mistake; stay still and you also make a mistake.
