I have an ATM strategy that has an auto break even - ABE.
I use it because I am currently a beginner (6 months) and sometimes/often read the price action wrong. Therefore when a trade (FDAX) goes 8 ticks into profit ... I don't want to lose money on that baby.
Often - esp now that I am getting better at reading price action, the ABE gets hit and then the trade continues nicely in the direction intended. Upsetting.
I would like to track the performance of this ABE in particular. How do you suggest that I do this .. without modifying your journal .. so that I can keep it standard?
The only 2 ways I see would be:
1 to enter what-if trades, so you enter the trade (into a second journal) with the hypothesis that your stop did not get taken out.
2 to a limited extent this can also be achieved with the built in stop and target analysis, I would try that first...
