That is a brilliant intro: It's not about how much money you make; it's about how much money you keep.

[@nick19988]

good video, i started with 0.2% per trade for some months and slowly increasing my strategy working and now i risk 3% per trade to start compound my capital till 100-250k then i can quit my job. im also adding weekly money to my account each sunday to grow it consistently

[@AngelaAngela]

Thank you for taking your time telling us the 2% down side, I think you are definitely a very good person 🎉

[@taimoorkhan8203]

Appreciate... I have a 2% rule and here is how mine works for me... First I study the market, update demand and supply zones, (avoiding trading in major financial event news day until the news is out), I open multiple small leveraged trades and the sum of all open trades does not to exceed 2% of my total capital out which mostly they end in profit and rarely any one hits my stop loss and even if they hit stop loss I do get back certain portion of my trade in to my capital.. I believe gradual growth is better than blind greedy trades...

I'm a newbie trader and obviously am gathering knowledge before taking the plunge. Never knew about the 2% rule, so thanks.

[@terrifictec3751]

Hi. I'm also looking to get started.

[@royalestatesllc4704]

If you’re a newbie, you should honestly follow risking 1% per trade. 2% per trade lowers the amount of trades you can afford to lose. Hope you have some capital !

[@prmikey]

The only video in the top search results that ACTUALLY doves into risk management. The other ones just explain why it’s important without ever giving examples or pop out a chart with no way of telling what the position was. Excellent content.

[@MasonJacobo2w]

We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680,000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.

[@SophiaChloé6f]

Keeping some gold is usually a wise decision. You would be better off keeping away from equities for a bit or, even better, seeking advice from an expert given the current market conditions and everything that is at risk with the current economy.

[@AidenLiamf7q]

You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst

[@NatalieHannahq3g]

Could you possibly recommend a CFA you've consulted with?

[@AidenLiamf7q]

My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..

[@NatalieHannahq3g]

Thank you for saving me hours of back and forth investigation into the markets. I simply copied and pasted her full name into my browser, and her website came up first in search results. She looks flawless.

Okay but is not luck, is all about having good investment plans most of all trading with a trust worthy expert. Watching professional trading videos and most especially connecting with the right person the digital world is full of in unreal people I met some of them during my success journey. I felt same way when I started especially when you use demo account you might be winning but when you put in real money you start losing I understand and I pass through it all. I’m very happy I’m profitable now

[@claralucas354]

Currently i can attest to the fact that I make $18,300 weekly through trading which is more better then my monthly salary job. trading becomes my passive income.

[@claralucas354]

At first i was afraid too before i gave it a try and realized fear kills dream more than failure.

[@cjack202003]

This is formation is money. I keep losing a lot of money. Had I used the 2% rule, my account would be green right now, I would be winning more than I lose. Right now, my losses are bigger than my gains, because I have no risk management. I loss $6500 in a week and a half, had I practiced risk management and cut the loss at 2% each day, I would actually be up $100 from my two green days, but instead I'm down $6500, because I had no risk management. I've added it to my rules now and will follow it to a T. I care more about keeping my capital. My gains will come as long as i stick to my rules, but in order for me to stay in the game...i need to be strict with the risk management. I'm out if I'm down 2%, whether it's one candle, two candles, or 3 candles. As soon as I'm down 2%, I'm out.

You are not dividing the share price BY the potential loss, it’s the other way around. You are dividing your %/trade BY the possible loss. Just to help mention.

THANKS BRO. I STARTED MY TRADING JOURNEY FROM BINANCE CRYPTO FUTURES WITH LEVERAGE 10 TRADE. TO UNLEARN WHAT I DID , I STARTED FROM (BELOW ) ZERO. MEANING I FORCED MYSELF TO DO 100 TRADES IN CRYPTO WHETHER IN SPOT OR LEVERAGE 1X FUTURES (WHICH IS AGAIN LIKE SPOT ). I CONSIDERED 10 $ FOR THIS CHALLENGE . 8 IN SPOT , 2 IN 1X FUTURES. AS A RESULT MY MAX LOSS TOLERANCE (BASED ON 2%) IS 0.02$ FOR 1X CRYPTO FUTURES AND 0.08$ IN CRYPTO SPOT.

[@davidkaufmann6029]

Exactly! its never too late to start. That`s why i am watching videos on how to trade options and equity

[@smeshnoymatvey2054]

I also want to add to add that risking 2% on an intra-day setup is far riskier than risking 2% on a daily-chart setup. These look same on excel sheet but they are not same. Also it is important to use wide stop loss as they have less probability of getting hit. But you will have to reduce your position size.

[@RotterStudios]

Wide and very wide stop losses also get hit....ask me how I know.

[@fortuneflux]

@@RotterStudios I can take a guess ... but how do you know? Are the magic words "market makers" and " with their own trading desk"

[@fiinreea]

Depends on your entry point. Get in at the right price and your stop loss can be more tight.

Is it okay to have multiple trades open at the same time at 2% risk for swing trading or would that let you get potentially draw down too much from temporary overall market conditions ???

[@futurestraderjohn3438]

Brilliant Lesson learnt, I needed this. Cheers

[@mucmac3586]

great advices!

[@TranceAnimer]

For me if the account is big enough and depends on how confident i am on the setup i will risk from 0.5% to 1% and on confirmation that setup is valid i can add up. For a smaller account bellow 10k i am willing to do a 4% on a high quality setup 2% on entry and add up to 2% when my position is in profit and i am extra confident. Because 0.5% 1.3 rrr on 200k is enough profit for me but on 10k the same risk and reward its not that tasty. 200k 0.5% is 1000. and 4% on 10k is 400 on the the reasons the bigger the account the better.

[@Camptheuniverse]

I will be back trading full throttle in a few months ;)

[@DRMET-vy7ci]

How did it go?

[@a1expresstransportllc956]

I believe you should never cut losses you should buy keep buying and holding.. cutting losses especially tight stop losses are no longer working.. Ai and market makers will hit you stop loss and take your money easy.. instead i would recommend to at least place a wide stop loss and look at bigger charts timing the market doesn’t always work buying and holding works better.

[@andyfieldmagic]

[@narindersingh6980]

Thank YOu Umar

[@darwinmolina8531]

thank you brother !!!

[@noahadam5510]

hmm.. correct me if im wrong please. A price going from $10 to $9 is a difference of 10%... Would you suggest or recommend using a strategy to look at drawdown from the perspective of the price of the Instrument itself going 1% down and going ALL in at $2000 to buy 200 shares. This in essence would mean they would have to sell when the price goes to $9.90 compared to $9?

[@dw300]

Volatility will be too large to have a $9.90 stop loss, and you'll just get stopped out during normal daily price action. You will lose 9 out of 10 of those trades, meaning you must make 9*$20 (1% of your bankroll each time) in the final trade just to break even. You want to make the trade on the stock with a $9 SL, which doesn't make 10% drawdowns very often so that you win smaller, but way more often.

[@gsp1634]

Let’s say my account balance is 1000 and I use 2 % $20 and keep the 980 separate can I use 50x leverage on that $20? And my stop loss is liquidation? Coz I only lose $20 if it’s liquidated does that work?

When calculating a buy size you suggest "same thing 50 cents divided by 40" which literally gives you 0.5/40 = 0.0125 that is not correct. I assume you meant to say the other way around: "40 dollars divided by 50 cents" 40/0.5 = 80 (shares). Right?
