You need to have a stop loss set BEFORE entering the trade. Based on the chart decide at what point the trade failed. How much loss is that per share? Divide your total budgeted risk by that amount and that's your sizing. Anything else is gambling.I'm about to learn. I've done the patterning on half a dozen stocks in the last 2 weeks and it all did work on paper.
Then day one of trying it, the stock did exactly what it wasn't supposed to do and dropped. I had to wait a week to get it where I wanted to sell it. I still made money just not as quickly as I was hoping.

People that make money long term as traders learn to cut losers fast. You make money by learning how to lose well. Not by trying to win every trade.
