Position Sizing For Trading - Futures & Forex

[@andrewwhite1138]

Dude, the amount of value you're putting out is insane

[@dimitriosploumpidis5536]

Next video suggestion: Backtesting session of your go-to setup in which you cover a considerable period of time. We get to see everything: no tag days, W, break evens, L. I firmly believe that that will bring everything together for most of us. Keep up the phenomenal work! Much love from 🇬🇷

[@MarcusJonesRE]

This wouldn’t benefit you. Go into the chart and put in the work backtesting yourself to develop the skill

[@juantanamoo]

Spent so much hours trying to make up what you easily explained in 11 minutes. I kindly thank you for sharing this for free so we can enjoy it and use it. So for that I will happily support your channel. ✅New Subscriber

[@luke_trades1]

So do u just enter on like MetaTrader the number is gives u in the middle?

[@sincerecolar]

Your timing is literally perfect. Grateful, final tweak.

[@aaroncoker6107]

Probably your most helpful video thus far. Thanks for clarifying how to use the long/short tools. Extremely helpful, and I’ve already done some back testing within.

[@TTrades_edu]

awesome

[@soloudmusic]

This is great. Commissions are important for these calculations. I made something similar but didn’t include commissions and it made a difference

[@rodrigotamosiunas4102]

I’m switching from forex to futures and have watched a series of videos on how to manage risk on futures but didn’t quite click. After watching this video I can say all doubts I had are gone, can’t thank you enough!

[@TTrades_edu]

awesome!

[@gerardoromero2550]

Great video. I've had these questions for so long but you managed to answer them with this explanation!

[@swifstudios]

I can’t thank you enough enough for this video, moving to Futures from Forex and this answers all of the questions I had about position sizing/risk management 👊🏻

[@TTrades_edu]

Very welcome!

[@JoshWrigley-r3c]

[@fredrobson3151]

Must see video for any serious traders! Thanks TTrades!

[@katharineclukey]

[@yokobradford362]

This is awesome!!!! I have to rewatch it again to understand the calculation part. I am new to futures and still trying to learn how to counts points 😂 But definitely want to do this. This challenge would definitely help me build my discipline for sure. Love a little fun and challenge. Thank you for this! 👍🏼🥰🙏🏼

[@jesseemerton]

Thanks! moving from forex to futures prop firms today

[@TTrades_edu]

awesome!

[@junabad3412]

Just perfect material for me as am currently developing my own sizing strat to suit my trading personality. You just make everything so clear Brother. May you be blessed more of what you do. I just entered into the prop evaluation using your link and will update you if i pass. Am not rushing on getting funded as i am taking it slow so as not to make bad habits in trading and since i have still a fulltime job so no rush for me. Godspeed and Shalom!

[@TTrades_edu]

good luck!

[@DavidJames0322]

Excellent video, trasitioning from fx and this broke it down well when it comes to Contract sizing

[@TTrades_edu]

awesome

[@joechew1412]

Love the explanation. Will go home and watch the detail on bigger screen. Specially on the drawdown calculation

[@hamza_llldd]

bruh topstep's support sucks at teaching people basic stuff I sat there chatting with them for an hour and I couldn't even understand what they were yapping about , with this 11 min video I understood it

How can find out point value for any symbols in any brokers?is commission calculated jn this formula. thanks for this useful video❤

[@chupapi4707]

probably a dumb question, but as I win/lose trades do I update the account size? or does it stay at 50k regardless? thanks for any help.

[@timonhuc4827]

Bro thanks so much, I finally understand this now!

[@TTrades_edu]

awesome

[@Youarturo]

TTrades, your content gets better by the minute, I can see the love, care, time and dedication you put into every video. Really appreciate it very much. May I ask you for the MACRO Times of Day that you use or ICT uses. I´m asking because I see "content" that shows very different Macro Times of Day. So I WILL TRUST YOU and your Macro Times of the Day above everyone else. Huge thank you !!!

[@TTrades_edu]

I personally dont use macros. but its just important new OHLC/ OLHC and then 10mins on each side of that. for example. london close 10am. 9:50-10:10.

[@yusufismailamamza2315]

Good morning, please after releasing this video help us with a lecture videos on different time frame alignment am seriously struggling to understand it as well as external and intetnal market structure this are my biggest problem in FOREX TRADING.

[@AbatsukiFX]

I can recommend arjo for analysis. FVG is all you need.

[@claytonmurrayguitar]

Are you struggling with just knowing the different time frame alignments? Or struggling to know when to drop to your lower time frame?

[@lowerdontdoperks3240]

if your swing trading all you need while looking for entries is 1,2,5 and 15 min and for market analysis and htf pois 1hr 4hr and the daily other than that you dont really need any other tfs

[@yusufismailamamza2315]

​@@claytonmurrayguitar, gudnyt bro both, I will luv to master everything about multiple times frame alignment can u refer me to a good video that can solve me problem.

[@TimtheGOAT]

Bro stick to 1d 4h and 15min when you get comfortable 4h 1h 5min

[@forexwayofficial]

Do you have to do this manually in futures? Are there not an automatic way like forex?

[@svetoslavstamatov4435]

For example, if you have $5000 account, with 8% max drawdown, how match money do you allowed to spend for every trade? Can you buy 10 shears of TSLA for $4000 per trade, or it's too much? In other words, is there a position size restriction?

[@vittoriorossi38]

Next video Suggestion: Opening Range Gap and when to use RTH versus ETH in Futures trading. I already know the utility of RTH and the narrative that the Opening Range Gap can provide when analysing the Daily profile, but I also know that there are not many quality videos on this topic for the people that try to search them. I follow you from a while and I think you would do it well. :)

[@ICT-BRK-MMXM]

Nice. Thanks for sharing this!

[@NDeRam-rv8ml]

which broker are you using personally to trade es futures etc. ? When you go to place a limit order through tv , you need to connect your broker right , which one are you using , im transitioning from crypto to futures now. thanks.

[@raso2278]

Really awesome video, this helped me a lot. A question on number of contracts. You said that you round down to be safe, do you also do that if the number of contracts is 1.8 or 1.9 (ignoring the fact that you would shift to micro's). If not, where do you decide to round up or down? Thanks in advance.

[@TTrades_edu]

Then i use micros. there i would round up.

[@Trade_With_Chill]

i want to trade EU which is 6E as I am transitioning away from forex. please how do i calculate it or can you add it to the spread sheet

[@maarrsseelli]

nice but you should have made an introduction for traders to keep R-multiple stats so that in the end of the month they have the average RR and win rate so they can input their stats on a equity curve simulator and see where they are in their journey. but anyway its nice to see the correct way of aiming to become a better trader, is pushed by your channel. thank you

[@TTrades_edu]

this is just a basic intro to position sizing. will look to make more in future with journaling and statistics

[@Indevelopmentspeculator]

hey, first of all, thanks for the work put into this content it's great! I've got a question; how do you know the price per point on each asset? Thanks in advance.

This is really great brother. Can you please make this for stocks and options trading

[@BTO_edu]

🔥🔥🔥

[@antoniotina1996]

every return and profitability risk is not true because it is partialized and return risk drops. How do you behave in these cases to evaluate profitability? and when do you divide?

[@TTrades_edu]

not exactly sure what you mean.

[@antoniotina1996]

@@TTrades_edu I intend. if you have a return risk of 1:3 for example, then you partial it out and don't take 3 times more of the risk. but about 2 times because you split half the fight halfway, for example

[@TTrades_edu]

this is assuming no partials and a fixed R

[@librapower7810]

Great video - however the position tool in trading won't behave like on your video - I find the position tool very confusing -

Yeap that part about once funded Give yourself that cushion. specially when the trailing drawdown stops following you. exactly how I plan on trading my funded acc

On TradingView what is the lot size for if I have a 200k account is my lot size going to be 2k or still 1k for 1% risk?

[@yunggawd9107]

Or what the difference between EU and EJ lot size or is it still the same

[@TTrades_edu]

depends on broker and instrument
