    Excellent question, …
    Excellent question, the answer is very simple actually..
    you shouldn’t have to concern yourself with “equal sizing” at all here are the 2 main reasons:

    1. You should always work based on on percentages (rule of 72) as oppose to working value (dollars) based. This is from the “Do and do not rules video”. If you look at the value as oppose to the percentage your mind will trap you with “not enough gain”.

    2. As you normally trade with “similar” trade sizes, things will average out over time

    I have a question …
    I have a question Mr. Metheral. Say I use 4:1 TP/SL ratio. But for this to work, I will need to make sure that every trade has equal amount of money( say $400/$100) as the TP and SL right? But as you know, this is not good as every pair has different volatility and some might take a few hours while other may take weeks to reach the target! So should a trader stick with a constant TP/SL money ratio or a just constant TP/SL ratio? How can a trader avoid the problems mentioned before?
