Here's a thread on how to use Progressive Exposure in your trading 🪜
Progressive Exposure (PE) is the a method to progressively commit capital, as you make progress on your open positions, in order to limit your risk of capital loss and smooth your Equity Curve (EC)
Thread 🧵
You want to use those open profits to finance the risk of the next position.
The goal is to protect you’re capital in case you’re positions are going against you & the market rolls over.
Ideal scenario, you lose unrealized gains, but not capital!
