1/ Equity is the value of the account, not Balance. --> Done
2/ Exposure is the key, not the individual trades. --> still having issue with this. The current approach is to almost always close a trade with a gain (balance gain).
3/ One bar of 1M or 5M doesn't change direction of the move (trend). Better to look at the 5M chart before enter.
4/ When "near the MC" or "running out of margin", the "add more" is not a good strategy. Need to trade the opposite, that leads to reducing the exposure that actually is in the losing side.
