I have started implementing this into my strategy, I put an initial trade in for a really small position and once it starts going into my favour I add the whole lot.

[@katebermudez3252]

Perfectly explained sir! My personal strategy if I like a stock or what not is to have the continuous "runner amount" that I initially buy at what I believe to be a good entry point. Any price action lower than the original entry I search for good spots of support to add some size in to #1 Average down the original position and then as the price bounces upward even the smallest move I remove the extra exposure of size that I had added to average down. This does two things, #1 averages down my entire position of runners, and also makes me a quick buck on the extra sizing I scalped with. Rinse AND Repeat continuously chasing the price down averaging down until it finally is done descending and rips. Then I let the runners run :) Scaling out as it gets to my target.

[@francodandan5989]

I literally was one minute away from my winning trade had I done the scaling into a trade to manage risk. Awesome videos Mark!

[@mothw.9620]

This is very valuable advice. Traders are adding to loosing positions and end up with large size on loosing trades. Yet if the trade goes your way on the initial entry, your winning trade is a fraction size. Mathematically a loosing game.

[@mistersandy]

From my experience, scaling is very successful with starting small to large on a 15/30/hour/4 hour chart. It's hard to know how much the vehicle will stretch.

[@foshizzle499]

Ignoring price behavior once I have my entry is my biggest hurdle right now. Over 2 years of trade data shows me that I correctly identify "the zone" around 70% of the time. However I let little blips and random volatility make me second guess myself. I also try and snipe my entries because the r/r I get is enticing. Maybe scaling is the answer.

[@ianwilliams4516]

This was unbelievably put, thank you so much

[@ToxxicMafia]

I normally explain this using s pattern like a triangle or flag. U identify the pattern as its forming and place first entry on the other side of the structure, then add if/when it breaks out. If the break is fake the pattern get busted u still get out withoit a loss.

[@richardthorne2804]

Awesome video. I scalp using a structured average down strategy but you have to define your zone and size and then cut the trade like he says once the trade fails completely. I am green 90% of the time b/c I scalp gains immediately, however, small gains can be eliminated with one bad trade using this strategy so need to follow the rules in this video to reduce losses. Great video.

[@donlim-create]

you sir are god sent

[@kikowhitney]

fantastic....extremely helpful. Your #3 not easy to do....but I agree with you there. I do it with "fear and trembling" but I gotta do it to stay in the "ball game". The movement of price stays in a range most of the time anyway...But of course if there is a very big red candle that suddenly pierces the bottom, then I cannot ignore price behaviour. At that point I get stricter with the stop loss. Thanks. Very helpful

[@Thenarayanaclips]

Thanks a lot brother for this helpful video.

[@oridod]

As long as your planned position size is split up in pieces it actually reduces risk.. You can have a SL so it can breathe ánd position 2 , 3 , 4 actually have less to SL

[@gman5454]

Great content Mate 👍🏻

[@Laughcrime]

Yes. Not familiar with your channel, but there's no way to overemphasize how superior the strategy in this vid is, compared to almost anything else out there. This probably goes about 90% of the way to fixing so many issues that traders seem to have, especially in today's environment of scam artists selling expensive courses to beginners who don't know any better.

[@ukspreadbetting]

thanks, you inspired me to share this video in our Community section. 🙂

[@Laughcrime]

@@ukspreadbetting Cool....yeah, the overcomplication of and confusion about trading out there is something that bothers me and I imagine many others out there. You don't see this in poker for example. Not sure but besides obfuscation for marketing purposes, I'm guessing it has something to do with widespread access to charts on screens being at least a relatively new thing. IDK...good going though :)

[@SensaSand]

I love the way you teach. I love your accent :)

[@cuttingedgecool7235]

This was an excellent talk about the true process of trading.

[@stevetaffy8780]

superb once again

[@eddycerb]

Best trading video I’ve watched so far, there is no bullshit in these videos just experience! But where are the lambo’s ??

[@homealone75]

Did #4 couple of times and they turned out nasty as you described. I got carried away scaling in and grew my position with too much risk.

[@TheShadow_850]

i see what u talking about mate! I deal with this all the time especially my plan is to average down .

[@billyjoe3112]

Very nicely explained. One thing to add if you will for we traders in the U.S. The dreaded first in first out rule adds some more planning.

[@truveo]

Best scaling strategy!!

[@convertibleken2516]

This seems backwards to me. Take a small positions at first because you can never be sure. Then if it goes the wrong way you lose very little and could even exit early to further minimize the lose. Only scale in if the trade is going the right direction. Then scale out as the position improves to lock in profits or use trailing stops.

[@ganeshsahu5712]

Very well explained.

[@gonzo1483]

Is it fair to say that scaling isn't for people paying a flat fee for every trade?

[@carlos_f]

Great content thanks VM

[@johnj8958]

Scaling is very useful for day trading. FX is leveraged so stops often get hunted

[@raymondobeukes3624]

Add to a losing trade? Not for me, thanks.

[@johnybravo711]

Does anyone do this? I would like to know what's the success rate of this strategy.

[@mamoudgeyra4973]

How can I add some of the top while I am in the bottom. Thanks

[@b_gumm]

Thank you

[@vaggelisperpekides1508]

Isn’t this a scale in a losing position also ?

[@piratoraman]

This is missing piece of my strategy.. I hope :)

[@AvinashA-tj3fo]

To me he looks like Jack Ryan, so much resembelence 😂😂😂

[@sparcx86channel42]

looks very hard and risky strategy to do, we never know when these things can revert.

[@idbountyhunter]

Now that’s a white board.

[@dylanriver3347]

I'd rather enter too little than too much ☠️

[@dylanriver3347]

Max loss per trade, for sure.

[@Baileyville112]

Too long... too many words. He's usually much better then this
