Guide

Use MAE and MFE to refine execution, not to chase perfection.

MAE shows what winning trades had to survive. MFE shows what they offered before you left.

Review by setup
Compare winners and losers
Adjust only after enough samples
Study exits separately from entries

Start with winners

If profitable trades often move 0.6R against you before working, a 0.3R stop may be too tight for that setup.

Then study exits

If many winning trades reach 2R but are closed at 1R, the issue may be exit discipline rather than setup quality.

Wait for evidence

Do not rewrite a playbook from five trades. Use MAE/MFE as a lens across a meaningful sample.
