Pyramiding
Learn how to use pyramid trading to scale into winning positions.
What is Pyramid Trading?
Pyramid trading is a strategy where you add to your position as the trade moves in your favor. Instead of entering with your full position size at once, you scale in gradually, potentially maximizing profits while managing risk.
How It Works
| Level | Trigger | Position Size | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | Initial Signal | 20% | 20% |
| Pyramid 1 | +1% profit | 20% | 40% |
| Pyramid 2 | +2% profit | 20% | 60% |
| Pyramid 3 | +3% profit | 20% | 80% |
| Pyramid 4 | +4% profit | 20% | 100% |
* Example configuration. Actual triggers and sizes are customizable.
