In the first part of our 4 part presentation from Trevor Neil, he discusses how do retail and institutional traders differ. He shares the hard-hitting truths about what he's learnt in his career, and how to overcome these hurdles.
Trevor tells us why it's important to start small and why our trading experience, including losses, is vital to learning and improving as a trader. He discusses prop traders and their aggressive trading tactics with large amounts of capital, and why retail shouldn't follow the same methods.

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 78% of retail investor accounts lose money when spread betting and/or trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money

Recession is often the result of external factors, and it appears that the United States is losing its grip as a federal reserve currency. With a decreasing ability to control inflation and a reduction in stock and oil trading, it seems that a new multilateral world order is on the horizon

It's important to keep in mind that investing is a zero-sum game with both good and bad days. However, by spending and investing wisely and diversifying your holdings, you can minimise risks and maximise gains. Hiring a knowledgeable investment advisor with a wide range of options can help you achieve this and leave little room for regrets.

[@martingiavarini]

I personally worked with an investment advisor to diversify my $401k portfolio across multiple markets, resulting in over $980k in net profit from high dividend yielding stocks. With the right guidance, you too can make informed investment decisions and achieve your financial goals.

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?

[@hermanramos7092]

Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.

Trade small to build your intuitive capabilities on the markets - it takes time with trading real money to build this. That's how I'd sum this wonderful session. Everyone should watch this, before they jump in on their first trade.

[@hakshustletv]

Definitely😂Trading on a demo and trading live are two completely different things and trading for someone else and trading for yourself is generally very different, if you try to go big right away, you're most likely going to lose your money. Start small, get comfortable and then slowly size up as you become more profitable and your account grows.

[@georginsabu8102]

[@ashishtiwari1912]

I have been doing Intraday Index trading from past 3 years and I stick to small position sizes. Although I don't make big money but I think being consistent while following proper risk management eventually would pay off in the long run. Trading in market definitely needs some good experience. It is not easy as many people believe it to be. I think for beginners it is always advisable to trade with experts. Join someone who does live trading session and trade with small quantities.

I appreciate this video because it rings true in so many areas. Definitely better than the "buy my course and you could be rich too" stuff. This guy is like you're probably not going to get rich, you might lose all of your money, you might have to wait through months of loses to get that big WIN, the institutions have much more money than you and it is replenished if lost, but hey good luck to you. "Learning in this business is to lose money" - he is not lying!

[@TrevorNeil]

I do not do courses or sell anything for retail traders. I only work with institutions. I can assure you, that they do not care about your positions or stops. to imagine it is so is just making an excuse.

Like your video! What do you think about these: 1. FX Liquidity does not matter whether it is from closing a long or short position, it can be taken by MM/banker/any trader to open as a long or short position. Is this statement true or false? Please advise with detailed educational advice. 2. Because FX is a zero sum game, if the liquidity is worth USD$10.01m it cannot be taken one cent more or less it must be digested exactly with the same amount by the MM/banker/any trader. Is this statement true or false?

[@TrevorNeil]

I am not registered to work with retail clients and cannot advise you. Your first question requires a detailed answer. Your second point is not correct. FX is not a zero-sum game. Much is settled in cash as people actually want the currency and deliver against it. Massive FX traders are big corporates who have expenses in one currency and income in another. Think VW for example. Futures are a zero-sum game, less commissions.

My Notes: - Learning comes by losing money - Do not put your entire savings account into your trading account; Only put small amount in (~10%) and then [honestly] see how long you can make that last without blowing it up... -> Practice good capital management and only put 10-20% of your account into each position. - After that 10% is gone, take another 10% and learn new mistakes from that small amount. Meanwhile you still have 80% of your original balance in your savings account to use later after you've learned some things.

[@petermuhoho3780]

Risking 10-20% is a lot of risk exposure. For one to survive longer you should risk 1-2 % per position.

[@renks05]

@@petermuhoho3780 It is okey to risk 0.25%-2% (3) of your capital for Forex.

[@n_9455]

You’re advising people how to fail here… anyone new to trading shouldn’t be risking more than 1% of their account. 100 losses in a row it would take to get your account blown. It’s the learning stage it’s not about profit… 10% risk per trade will get a beginners account blown in no time. People are out here following this idea, no wonder it takes 3+ accounts before they finally find a profitable strategy 😂😂

93% of retail day traders lose their money therefore there are 93% of broke learned individuals

[@tristan583]

You dont need to lose fortune to make it also you dont need that much money , it's about what you have learn and what you know about trading , you can turn $1000 into $1000000 , his approach isnt cool for a regular retail trader who doesnt have a lot of money also he doesn't mention the important ot strategy, strategy is the center piece of a successful trading career, not how much you can begin with .

[@jordan.belfort2161]

Strategy is not the central point of a successful trading career... It's important but to develop a traders mindset is key... It's true about the capital... You don't need large amounts to make money... If you are an investor, then yes you need larger capital... But as retail traders you can double accounts in short time with good setups...

The main difference between paper, and retail, is that 1.Paper hedge their trades, the retail do not. The Paper use correlations, the retail do not. I hedge all my trades, and I only use correlations, DOM, and level 2. This how we survive and retail do not. I never use charts. The reason that the markets exist is to allow buyers and sellers to transact. As liquidity providers, we laugh at chart traders

Always go with %2 maximum loss from a trade no matter with how much money you trade. You can be a trader in any point you want.

A simple "oh well that didn't work". Develop a truly winning strategy that has positive expected edge and once you do implement that into real trades.

[@Mellow4202]

"pretend trading" actually does help. Just like how the military does simulations to prepare them for the real thing. So do demo accounts. It's just like a simulation, as long as you treat it as such. With that being said demo accounts can actually help tremendously, so I'm not sure why you said that. If you are a complete newbie I would highly recommend to at least demo trade for 6 months before using real money. The very first thing that's going to happen to you is you are going to lose money. You might as well figure out how everything works with a demo account first. Well, unless you have money to blow or something. Then go ahead.
