@bryanharrison388910 ай бұрын
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."

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.

This strategy is for people with deep pockets, you can blow 5 accounts of 1k before you finally grow one to 10k. Which is fine if you have enough funds, which isn't the case of 99% of people.

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.

It sounds like a great strategy if you actually do some basic TA. Just getting out of a bad trade at break even is a win, because then your wins don’t get destroyed. Imagine making only 10% of what you aim to make, but you don’t have ANY losses consistently every time. Then you can keep compounding it very safely. Then you could in theory just trade more and keep increasing the general wins and zero losses. This means you make more money faster. As far as I see it, the ideal trading strategy for me is one which is one so repeatable in any market in as low timeframes as possible that is so simple you could get a bot to do it. The key being that the win rate/loss percentage is so low that it can just be left to keep compounding, and turned up to trade as much as possible on as low a time frame as possible. It’s actually pretty easy to trade on the monthly. Like buying Tesla’s bottom was pretty obvious. Buying Bitcoins bottom was very obvious. Selling the top is harder as price doesn’t usually hang around there as long and you end up with excited spikey wicks. But a bot that only trades so rarely, or even if it’s monitoring the whole market looking for these signals it still has to stay in the trade for a long time is pretty much a part time trading strategy.
@GuillRickard6 ай бұрын
There's a few problems with this: #1 you can get stuck in a position for so long that breaking even isn't even worth it anymore. I'd rather lose a bit of money and then enter new trades than staying in a trade for multiple hours just to break even. #2 you automatically lose if there's a downtrending day. And the losses will vastly outweigh the wins. #3 because you expect to keep adding to your losing positions, the amount of money you put in your initial position is very limited, which greatly reduces profits. #4 the fact that you need to use the whole account as your stop loss means you'll never be able to trade with a significant amount of money, so the strategy doesn't scale up well

your method is called averaging down if you are long or averaging up is you are short. Averaging down /up will not always work. See the the ARK Capital by Cathie Wood. She did the same, averaging down until bust, hopping for reversal, she did not had a change to brake even like you did and close the position. Your brake even on a large position averaged by multiple buy/sell may not come until you run out of funds. There is a say that if you try to catch a falling knife you will be cut.

You counter it by entering an inverse trade with a lot size that's like 5 times the size of your original position. Eg: If you open 3 buy orders with 0.01 lot size and the market keeps going down against you, then open a fourth order with lot size of 0.1, and that order will be SELL not BUY, so if it breaks that hedge, you start gaining in that direction and that will neutralize the losses on the initial orders you have opened. The worst that can happen in this scenario is that the market hits your SELL order and retraces back immediately and that would be a nightmare. Cos the SELL loss would drag your equity down and the losses will be 5 times bigger than the original BUY order losses you opened before... but it's not trading if there isn't any risk. right? That's why you need to at least know where the market is going generally so as to reduce the risk of this nightmare happening to the barest minimum.

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

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.

Hey bro, I tried this and stacked it up against the best forex signals and strategies out there and this style still outranks them all by a mile. And this is how to reduce your risk and win instead of calling BS: 1. Don't try this during any news event. 2. Don't try this on volatile pairs like XAU/USD. 3. Check the overall trend of the market in the 15 min timeframe so you know whether to buy or sell. 4. Add those layer positions before the market goes against you and evenly space them out. I do 30pips per position. 5. Don't be greedy. If the trade is taking too long and you run into small profit, you can close everything and set up again. The market doesn't need to hit your entry point before you make profit. 6. Don't lose your sh*t while the market moves. Trust me, if you follow these 6 things, you will HARDLY lose.

The method assumes natural retracement, but it does not identify a specific retracement level (unlike fibonacci levels). But adding to the losing trade allows you in theory a better chance to recoup the original losing position thereby breaking even. There are lots of interesting dynamics here. Stochastics are likely to fill these positions at break even at some point in time. But there are some other risks - time. When is the capital needed? Long uptrends with higher lows or long down trends with lower lows. To succeed in those scenarios you might zero out capital….however those stocks and market dynamics are rare. Benefits: no premiums. Simple system. Drawback: opportunity cost, capital gains, no leverage, this system would work well with stocks like tesla and probably less well with low volatility stocks since volatility would help with percentage gains. It would also fail completely in black swans completely along with extended corrections, however because he keeps the risk pool small, it limits exposure. Heck, this would be a great pyramid/madoff scheme…. As long as market stayed predictable.

Those who don't know say, those who know don't say. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes at all costs. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

It is similar to the roulette strategy where you double your bet every time you were wrong - except here you do not need to double it as you did not lose money until exit from the position. I can see it can work beautifully on a sideways market.

imagine trading this with an edge. When you have something that works more than 50% of the time you can make crazy money. Ive tried this with backtesting with the same approach + my strategy that Im profitable on. Result was 16% gain in acc after one week in FOREX with fixed lot size. Maybe I will make a vid on it too.

The sad reality about FX trading is 98% of people on social media actually don't make money from trading, but from views, they just speak confidently about how they can help you make money from trading.

Hi. I have a question. you said that a position size of 0.5 in an account of 50k$ is a very low size. But using which leverage? Because 0.5 lots should be 50k of GBP. Thanks

The main thing that's kept me from trying this with live funds is that saying "the market can remain in a trend longer than you can remain solvent." And, I /have/ thought about having a whole account be the risk management, but I just haven't /done/ it. So cool to witness it working. I love this chaos bending lol

yeah a lot of money must be tied up with waiting or being in a loss, in the end it works out but it’s like waiting for hope to happen, and the prefered outcome doesn't seem likely and it’s all downside. But it’s so interesting how he makes it work for him.@@lewmaca

Would a forex currency or such be less better to trade than naz or 500 perhaps, because less likely to breakout to new higerer highs or lows and therefore be safer to trade in a range? Also do you find this method works better with extended trading hours? Thanks Much for this!! 😃🙏🏻 Also

At 7:50, first you say that that the first position gets closed at a loss then you say that the whole sequence ends up break even, but it doesn't. Your first statement was correct--the sequence ends in a loss. Grid trading this way has been around for decades. Glad it's working for you.

Exactly. At 9:11 he says the trade would usually retrace and end up in profit. That's total BS
@morrisvu27728 ай бұрын
@@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. This can help to recoup the total loss even way before the underlying retrace 100% to where you start.

Yuppers. I'm middle age now, used to trade in the 90s and lost money (thank u scum bag broker scams). When I would go to a casino I'd play a 1:1 card game essentially implementing this tactic to be able to play to break even or only slight losses or wins. I knew this was applicable to trading but never took the time to sit down and figure it out until the past year, and found your content verifying so many of my theories...which boils down...the big secret...to money management and a decent "feel" for what you're doing that comes with experience that anyone can learn with just a little confidence. It's a huge psychological, almost "spiritual" (as some might say) life game. It will also challenge anyone stuck in poverty consciousness...giving them a potential out to being poor and having a quality of life for the first time. I've been poor most of my life until recently. Huge cheers Nick, just love your content.

The point is considering a right portion of the asset to add the position each time. It may be very small to trade with,but it is a slowly steadily way!
