Kardec Trader shows how to turn a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio into 1:10 by taking 50% profit at an hourly fair-value gap, then letting the rest run. You take partial profits across multiple timeframes while the trade is still in drawdown, letting runners carry the bulk of the gain.
Partials is huge because these are a lot of points. It's almost impossible to capture a 1,000-point move with a full size. What do I like for partials? I like unfilled daily fair value gaps, weekly fair value gaps, hourly, and 15-minute. In this case, we have an hourly gap that is unfilled. This is going to be my take profit one, 50% off here. I was still in drawdown, which is fine. This is part of my trade. This is a very, very high probability trade. When you go into looking at this in terms of risk to reward, my risk to reward was initially just a 1 to 2. This is where we let the runners do the heavy lifting, and that's when it becomes a 1 to 5, 1 to 6, 1 to 10.
