I'm trying a bit of a scaling-in strategy on GBPUSD. If it moves favorably by about 20 pips, I'll add a small portion to my position. If it hits my initial stop loss, I'm out. Keeps the risk managed while I try to catch bigger moves.

@jacksonbouchard45 Your scaling-in approach is interesting, but I tend to favour a more defined entry. For GBPUSD, I find that adding to a position before it's moved significantly in my favour can often lead to averaging down into a losing trade, especially if there's a sharp reversal. I prefer to let the initial entry prove itself, perhaps by reaching a key resistance or support level, before considering additional size. My strategy usually involves setting a single, firm stop loss and letting the trade play out. I'm watching the 1.33 area closely; if it breaks below the S1 pivot at 1.33063, I might consider a short position with a tight stop above that level. What's your typical exit trigger if the market moves against your scaled-in position?
