I certainly respect different trading styles. You might also want to watch recent videos in which I stated numerous times a pre-determined trading plan to scale in at that scale-in zone up to but not above those levels.

To your strategy of waiting to enter a trade at a specific price target & then only scaling in if price moves against you (which is contrary to the preferred strategy of most experienced/professional traders that prefer to add as a position goes in the direction of the trade, as that helps to confirm they were correct, not wrong on their analysis), my experience has been if I thought that a potential trade that I was looking to enter was going to $X before starting the move I was planning to position for, more than often, that security might reverse just shy of $X, leaving me to watch a position walk away & go on to play out as I has expected without me.

Just as I will close a long trade just shy of the level that I expect the position to reverse (as to not risk missing a fill for a few extra cents with the trade suddenly reversing if the sellers step in early), when looking to enter a position, whether or “one & done” full position entry or a planned scale-in, I would rather start a bit earlier than a bit too late & risk missing the trade. Again, different styles so to each his own.
