One of the excellent characteristics about the system we trade is that our trades can always be repaired; the only variable is how much time it will take to do so. We adjust and repair trades, using our method over and over until we’re finally able to exit a problematic set of trades at a profit or, in the worst of cases, breakeven. This requires enough buying power (margin) to continue to take trades, and certainly there is the opportunity cost of being in a losing trade in terms of not being in another trade that could be making money. but at the end of a trade “campaign,” there is no reason to ever actually walk away with money lost.
