I prefer to build a core position in the direction of the current trend, then trade around that core position with smaller trades. That way, I never lose exposure to the larger move. I probably only trade 1-3 times a week though, using the 1H or higher time frame charts.
I love this strategy. Doing same thing very often. If i'm monitoring my core position it would be a waste of time not to take profit from daytrading around core position.
We can make much profits by maintaining the trades with small profits and losses but it js not possible for too long sinfe the market go bearish at most of the times so we may need to hold longer to recover from the losses.
