The Scaling Math
Trade Licks tracks every partial fill to show you the truth about your execution. Navigate to Advanced Analytics > Size to see your Scaling Breakdown.
Which Version of You is Better?
The platform compares your performance across three styles:
- All-In/All-Out: Entering and exiting the full position at once.
- Scale-In: Building a position as it goes in your favor.
- Scale-Out: Taking partial profits at various levels.
Check the Profit Factor for each style. Many traders discover they are actually less profitable when scaling out because they kill their winners too early. Use this data to decide your execution rules for the next week.
💡 If your Scale-Out Profit Factor is lower than your All-In Profit Factor, try a week of "No Partials" and compare the results.
