@illemonate7 ай бұрын
5:45 Not adding on trades to compensate for a loser is KEY. I blew my funded account this way. I was green 5 days in a row, and then 1 bad trade which could have only been -$500 turned into -$3500 when I tacked on 2 more trades and the market continued against me. Just accept the smaller loss and move on.
@Error-336 ай бұрын
So true. When I first started out in trading I did exactly this and also blew my account. While the correct thing to do was to cut the loss in half for the next trade until I make it back or at least not increase the size Love how Daniel stays honest through his entire journey and keeps it real with us, this video really had good advice

Been trading about 4 years myself now and I'm not too far behind you, still working it. I passed my first combine, was on track for my first payout, and got greedy two days in a row and lost it. I force myself to use the practice trading feature rather than paying for another combine so that I can feel a little pain to help remind in the future. Following your journey and TBM has been huge in keeping me focused and in the game.

Very interesting! You have a great view on trading much as Jim Simons did in 1978! I am 84 years old and trade less frequently at this point. Each day I go to a shop where I am able to interact with young people and work with my hands and use another part of what is left of my brain. Do homework, analyse direction of a trade and set a target and get away from the monitors to avoid over thinking and constant adjusting. Excellent teaching! Many thanks

@lugombear22696 ай бұрын
@@asdfbeau well, no because when you have an edge then you need to believe your proven backtested strategy where you tested SL and TP. moving SL to BE is totally different scenario in strategy which should be tested on the same graph and time when was tested original strategy and compare results. In one strategy as I backtested that method I was less profitable when moving SL to BE as just leave SL in original position. Win rate can be better, but with every R added you are higher to survive loss in few rounds. Which can happen when we talk about win rate 50%. In 10 rows you can loose and hit SL. Moving SL to BE is different in all different stocks, as one stock can create deep pullbacks and other stock not. So also that is not uniform to any pair, stock, etc, plus different time can create different behaviour of stocks - respect SR zones, not respect SR zones....

This is good advice! I have gotten proficient at cutting my losses and you need to definitely realize that there is a difference between cutting your loss to end the discomfort, and cutting due to price action giving clear signs that your SL is about to get blown up. Of course you will cut winners, just need to keep practicing! For me holding my WINNERS is the hardest part, especially trading on apex due to their trailing DD rule, and their %30 rule.
@ElPandaWarrior7 ай бұрын
I agree with all these....however, one thing about micros was i was trading a bit to cavalierly as the amount of money at risk was negligible and that led me down the path of not trading the plan and just gambling. SO I learned bad habits while racking up losses and commissions. Once I went back to minis, the risk meant something and that forced me into more thoughtful trading. This was just me. I agree with your premise regarding micros but for me, it was detrimental.

Not only that but with 1 mini you can't do a proper risk management we never know when the market will flip soo having for example 5 micros let's you get out of a couple of them in an area you feel conflicted not far from your TP for example and take some there if it turns to your break even for example you will have 3 micros not 5 soo you take almos thalf of the profit and if it goes to your TP because it was not far from your tp and you ahd still 3 micros open then the profit is almost the same as if u took 5 to that tp micros are amazing for props is worth the extra comision

Any insights on the difference between "always trade your plan" and "don't marry your bias" as these can seem contradictory and I've heard both given out as advice from successful traders?

yes, i would say usually my plan would be "I want to see price react this way at this level, then i will short." i see it, i take it. marrying my bias would be "market should sell-off today. i will sell here at the highs. oops, that didn't work. let me try again. dangit. well, it's gotta go down, i'll short the next sweep higher."
