I’ve said for years and years and years - trading is extremely risky, and most people will lose all the money they try to trade with - even the people who follow the information I provide. Trading is a skillset that is difficult to learn, and I make it look easy because I’ve been trading for 7+ years. As with any high performing skillset in life, trading is NOT easy.
Your likelihood of consistently making money trading is abysmally low, whether you learn on your own or whether you follow the things that myself or others teach.
It’s like becoming a doctor, many people start pre-med and medical school, but only a tiny fraction of them succeed and actually become doctors.

This is called breakout hunting. It works, but it is still an edge, and if you truly traded randomly, it would not work at all.

[@bryanharrison3889]

As a trader who's been trading off and on since 2009, this is NOT a bad strategy at all. The theme on repeat in this video is "RISK MANAGEMENT". If you master that, you can trade ANY strategy and be profitable. I know a few traders that have been doing coin flip entries (seriously) since before I started, and ONCE THEY'RE IN, they set a profit and loss target. SOME do this type of "double down" when market moves against you. So this video is talking about how to do this with an account that is 100% funded with risk capital, which is a fantastic concept. BUT THIS CAN ALSO APPLY to an account where your entire trade capital is in the account. The only difference is, instead of risking 1-3% PER TRADE, instead, since your account is the capital and the risk, you'd simply reduce your initial trade risk so that if you're in a position where market moves against you and you had to do, say, 8 entries in a row like in this video, at that point you're at your MAX RISK, which for most people is 1-2%. So for example, if you have MT4, and you trade on OANDA or IG, and you enter a trade, you can enter with a lot size of 0.01. So one entry of that size on the euro/usd ends up being somewhere around a penny per tick. So if the spread is, for example, 1 on a retail acount, then as soon as you hit the button you're negative -0.10 cents. A DIME. Ok? So if price moves against you 20 ticks, you're out 0.30 cents. If that's your next entry, now you're out 0.40 cents. Now.... if market moves against you a total of 100 TICKS before reversing, and you entered just say equal distance of 20 ticks, you'd have your initial entry, plus 5 other entries at 0.01 lot size. So your total "loss" after a negative move of 100 ticks would be about 1.10$ for the initial trade, 0.90$ for the second, 0.70$ for the third, 0.50$ for the fourth, 0.30$ for the fifth, and 0.10$ for the sixths trade due to spread. Ok, so what's the grand total for that "losing" trade? With a 500$ small account, you'd be at 0.8% risk percentage for all 6 trades combined, totalling about 3.60$. (ish) That's not counting continuing moves against you, which would be approximately 0.06$ per tick, assuming each tick was a penny. So if you have all your risk captial in the account, it would certainly have a "magic point" to put a stop loss somewhere reasonable to protect your account from absurdly fast moves against you... but even if you do button stop trading, you can usually close out before your account hits any significant loss, and with a TOTAL possible trade entry cost of 0.8% of your account. Keep in mind, it could move an additional 100 ticks against you and you'd still only be an additional 6 or so dollars loss, with a total combined loss of 9.60$ which is just shy of 2% of your capital. So yeah. Coin flip with this type of risk management is absolutely a "doable" thing, and if you manage your trade positions with the mindset that you might have to occasionally make 6 trades before it reverses (or hits your stop if this is your only trade capitol), then you can repeat this procedure and it CAN BE PROFITABLE. Its one of those things I learned early on, the MOST important thing about trading is what level of risk you're at any given time. Once you master that, (and there's many ways to manage risk that are valid) then you're good to go. My mentor, when I asked them about how they pick such great entries, they looked at me and said "Entry? What about the entry? FUCK the entry. If you're in a burning building, was how you got in important? ITS ALL ABOUT THAT EXIT PLAN."

If you sell XXX/JPY and waiting for a month to go back to your BE, you will be broke by the swap fees.

[@BreakoutHunter]

This is called mean reversion trading. It's not new. Use a mean reversion channel and see how far away price typically gets to before returning to the mean line on the instrument you are trading. The ruler tool in tradinview will tell you a percentage. When it gets to that average percentage, you enter and wait for the pullback back to the mean line and close. A very good indicator for this is the "Mean Reversion Channel" by fareidzulkifli.

In this video Nick is able to be in drawdown from 8 trades in a row, because he is not risking a large lot size per trade. He knows the market will retrace back or close to the original first trade, and the newer trades act as the profitable trades to dampen the loss from the earlier trades. I have used this strategy and it works - BUT you have to get lot sizing right and also ensure you have some concept of reversals, otherwise the account will get blown!! .Great Video Nick! - thanks

In short, he appears to be using a Martingale strategy, with which I have personal experience through my trading bot. While it's true that this strategy carries inherent risks, it can also be profitable under certain conditions. A well-funded account and proper risk management techniques, such as using smaller position sizes, can mitigate those risks. For instance, my bot can handle extended drawdowns and exploit retracements. which makes the strategy worth using.

[@kwkarol]

So you're saying you're risking 20% to make 1%?

[@TheWhippinpost]

Now, with each add-on, increase the lot-size by 20-30% to maintain a reasonable breakeven point that moves-up with price. You might also consider removing partials from earlier positions at around 1.5ADR.

@@TheWhippinpost for sure you can I found that was not necessary And by doing so, you incur more risk as price moves against you But it’s all about what you are willing to risk I would prefer to not blow an account if possible lol

[@TheWhippinpost]

@@Bryceredaja By removing partials from earlier positions when the trade goes against you, and increasing the lot-size of additional trades, you keep the breakeven point within distance. Ideally if you measure the additions and removals using a measurement of ADR, you can maintain a grip on things if price squeezes. Trick is to keep size within your risk profile.

[@FxGaro]

Hey, what I don’t understand is, how do you size your lots to risk 1% if you don’t know where the stoploss is? We don’t know how far into DD the position is gonna go right so how do you know you’re risking 1% of the account on a position? thanks

My question would be, why would any successful person not want to start a channel and start teaching. Jay Z makes millions of dollars off his rap music.

@@kwkarol Agreed. While the chance to finally get the trade right is higher as you open a new position (b/c the swing stock will eventually turn around), recouping the whole unrealized loss is unlikely unless the last positions have the power to gain faster. What if using leap options? Options can reduce the size of each position but each small position can also spring the gain 2-3x of its amt.

You really can't make a profit long term by grid trading because trading is a zero sum game and if you have no edge except guessing the direction of the market then you will only be right around 50% of the time. Without trading fees you would be breaking even long term. Once trading fees are added then you're actually losing money.

This strategy at least gives you a very high percentile of doubling your account prior to a trending market happening that blows an account given you size the initial position correctly.

[@pauljames9915]

I totally agree with ur method. I did some backtesting with random buy/sells .... and yep as long as you can deal with unrealised drawdown, in most cases you can close positions for profit or small loss, and as you do, if you hedge positions or add to losing positions you can greatly improve chances of profit. That said, even a weak edge on the entry like looking at the higher time frame direction , could help reducing the time in unrealised drawdown. The mindset is just like : if you bought a stock for buy and hold, at market open, you wont expect a profit for a few days/weeks, and if the price went against you, u might take more position on, but eventually it would all be ok in the end. It's like taking a long term view, but for shorter term profit.

I do a ftmo challenge right now with this strategy. Its a 160k account so daily drawdown is 8k max! You have to keep in mind never reach this 8k. So in my case 1% (1600) would be a little bit too much, I will risk like 0,5%, which means I will enter a second position after 800 in drawdown.

Hi Nick. Great video; thanks. If you don't mind asking me a question. I'm implementing your hedging strategy for trading futures. I'm mainly trading Dax and FTSE as the trading hours suit me well. I found it not easy to trade DAX as it is at its all-time high and still climbing. Obviously, you never know if it continue to climb or it will reverse. How do you trade stock like that? Are you still hedging? If so, and for example, if I'm in a short position from the very top (at the time) and open long after a spike, how long would you keep the long position open without knowing where the next zone is? Appreciate your time, and thanks.

IDK man, it seems like you're showing the best case scenario, when the trade reverses exactly to your entry point. There is no way most of those trades reverse back to your entry. Also, what is the point of holding onto the losing trades, hoping that the next time you add to it and it actually reverses you'd be at break even. At 9:11 mark you're saying in the runaway market the trade will usually retrace allowing you to exit at BE or in profit. It would have to retrace all the way back to your first entry for you to be at break even, not to mention in profit. With all due respect, I call BS

[@mehranmohammadi6338]

Bs meaning please?

[@Noticing-Enjoyer]

Whoosh, you totally missed the entire point. You are essentially saying, I don't like the strat or don't understand it so why don't you use stop loss? The whole point of the strategy is that you are risking rapid growth for extreme risk. You are risking whatever the account is to double it in less than 90 days. The nature of the strategy is high time frame and a bet the market will revert to the mean eventually when its going against you. you want some drawdown in reality because you are doubling your lot size after every market extension . You have no idea how powerful this is, about 10% of your portfolio should be in high risk stocks or investments and this is definitely going to be mine. This is the closest thing to an ATM Ive ever found.
