Position sizing rules for active traders:
risking 1 or 2% of the account on any trade
5% to 10% in special conditions.
Increase or decrease size monthly.
Size according to the setup.
Don't compound risk with similar positions.

One of the top two or three discussions of risk management I've ever seen. The last third of the video cannot be overstated. A very shortened version of that is basically, allocate more risk towards better opportunities. Fantastic video, my favorite KZbin channel.

[@dinshak86]

The simplest and most ignored core principles given here by you in this video. "Scale back testing of one's appetite." I'm going back to the drawing board to rethink my position - size - risk. Thanks mate.

[@RTMoney]

Liked! Great point on looking at the risk "per day, week, month" versus per trade. Wait for the A1 setup, and risk 5-10%.

[@jordanhooks5074]

I purposely risk 10 percent of my account and go all in 3 times a week looking for that good set up it’s been way more profitable and less stress than 4-6 trades a day

[@monobrow147]

JORDAN HOOKS all in? Even with a 99.99% strat you will go broke eventually, and I am 100% certain you don’t have that.

[@blakejohnson2206]

Such good content. I made my own spreadsheet that automatically calculates 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 5% of my account and applies it to the stop position. That way my position size is always proportional to the width of my stop.

[@evandrosgsg]

Absolutely no one talks about risk this way. Great! Congratulations!

[@K44YNE]

If you want to stay in the game longer 0.5% per trade until you become profitable you shouldn’t risk 1 to 2 percent per trade.

[@jimle8444]

Wider stop loss is the benefit of smaller position size

[@gabriel.casanas]

I use 3 different types of trade sizes, and use them depending on the type of trade I'm taking or how sure I'm about the set-up. As the account grows I see myself using the bigger two of those trade sizes more than before and when it gets to the point where I'm using the biggest one I'll increase the number in all of them and start using the smaller one (which would be as big as my biggest size before)

[@believeurhappy4410]

Wonderful video mate as usual 👍 thanks

[@rookie145]

Brill Mark, great peace of delivery much better explained

[@ciarancoyne9104]

Top of the class advice🙏🏻

[@believeurhappy4410]

Lots of great insights. Especially the trades per week/how much are u really risky per week.

[@christathechosenone6110]

Great video, love your content. I can always count on you when I come across trading obstacles 💯

[@sanoranddixon1722]

I just want to say you have been a blessing in this cosmic universe. You have helped your fellow brothers and sisters which we are all here to do. I am satisfied and fulfilled. thank you

[@J9Schreiber]

Anyone else spot Mark ducking the subscribe button at the beginning of the vid? 😁Thanks for the vid really great content

[@MattEssex33]

This information is brilliant. Thanks

[@iliovininino]

My respects for you Mark. You always have a new way of making me think about new questions in order to improve my trading. I love your channel!!!

[@MukeshVerma-kw4os]

Great insight. Thank you!

[@sahar1usa]

i dont believe in averaging , because if my entry was right , it would work right away. I do really think 'averaging' is a bad habit that some day traders exhibit My stop limits r usually tight because market would be always there. most times are either at my entry or .05 above the entry I m a pullback player

[@meghanworkman6449]

Excellent advice and some things I hadn't thought of. Thanks for this!

[@krishnamoorthy5953]

Noted sir. Thanks for your update.

[@EivindfxW]

My personal rule is not risking more than 1-2% as well! It is responsible and reasonable 😎

[@inhumanepie1]

Very good Thank you, gonna try that.

[@tigersgedanken1246]

i risk about 4-5%, but i also win about 75% of my trades.. so no problem

[@juliao.1839]

awesome video thank you

[@rosariodipetta]

Few money on broker account and you can risk 10% in a good trade, but without other open trades.

[@itsmeclaire5426]

i was just recently profitable for doing fix bid trade 4-5% position size .... then I overtrade getting cocky about this trade, dang I loss half of my account.

[@nealbosher9293]

Wisdom! Thankyou.

[@sanhill9409]

Ich liebe deine Videos 👌

[@TheAudioExport]

Great video but one thing, you briefly mentioned the law of averages which is statistically untrue (unlike the law of large numbers). You should cover that in a part of a video at some point.

[@zutshi7583]

I have blown my account so many times in the past I don't have the courage to go beyond 2 %.

[@darthrosh5223]

Hey Mark. Was wondering.. when would be a good time to go market. Could you give a few examples?. Many thanks .

[@ukspreadbetting]

You mean a good time to enter a trade!?

[@gabriel.casanas]

@@ukspreadbetting I think he meant market order

[@darthrosh5223]

@@ukspreadbetting sorry for my ambiguous question. What I was meant to ask.. suppose the price has come to a zone where I am happy to buy at any price. Should I still place an order or just go market?

[@ukspreadbetting]

Hi Darth, If you planned this beforehand and you have a zone where you want to do business you can enter using a market order if the market is liquid enough.

[@uriel4370]

This is really fantastic, except for the part of results on te practice (that you have not mentioned)

[@Baron1975]

Seems as though no matter what size my trades are I still get anxious 🙃. Even after 26 years trading.

[@jimle8444]

I try to risk no more than 0.5%.

[@liam-n8098]

I don’t think anyone should be risking 5-10% of there account… capital preservation is key

[@bamiyan_trading]

I thought my hand writing was bad.

[@bosshogg690]

Time to press this shit

[@sabihowpro8073]

Well defined points. Speaks too fast and I have to keep rewinding to hear his ideas play out. 😊
