This is and should be #1 advice to any active day trader. I have experienced and still experiencing till this day. Had $5000 profit on a day and giving more than that in the very next day. If I have had the discipline and patience to control my emotions I would be sitting with thousands of dollars profit YTD. Greed and over trading will destroy any trader. Still in the process of becoming a disciplined trader. 😊

[@matthewmathis62]

Thank for the video, Ross! It's actually quite timely, for me. Because I just traded outside of my strategy on a stock doing a Swing Trade (and I don't Swing Trade often, or have a proven pattern that I've tested), and so I lost above my max loss by a good margin (around 40% of my investment). I knew when I jumped into the trade that it was outside of my tested strategy. I should not have done it. But you know what? I'm happy that I did. Because I think it's better that I make a big mistake now rather than later, so that I can learn from the mistakes while they are still small. I even asked God to let me make mistakes now, while they don't hurt me as much (with a smaller account), than later when it would make a bigger difference. They say that if you beat a tree with wind throughout it's life, it becomes stronger. And I think that is what is happening to us now, who are letting our mistakes teach us. Thanks Ross! I enjoyed the video! I like your driving videos! It's a nice atmosphere! :)

[@jfs_paperboy]

Ross -- I love this scaling strategy! I used it this morning. Did a few small trades, was RED (small red) and decided it was not a day for me. Walked away with a scratch and not a wound. Even though Friday was a big red day, I was proud of myself for not giving into the trading demons today. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and strategies -- you are truly speaking for all of us!

[@adproproductions2038]

So much value here. Start small and go from there. Thanks Ross

[@Z.H.Trading]

Thank you! Definitely an area I struggle with - not the over trading side, but thinking it will come back and keep the stock. So yeah I have that problem. So far I have been pretty lucky, but I need to change that habit and let the stop hit and take the loss. I have a few stops for downward halts just bad timing there, but areas I need to work on as well. Thanks for the guidance. OFF TO WALK :) I'll take that advice and clear the head for tomorrow.

[@jeffsilva77]

Thank you !!

[@map466]

Great vid as usual. Thanks!!!! Question: How do you determine your max loss/gain?

[@th3orist]

absolutely agree about the successful red days. i am at a stage where i have zero problems finding good setups or entries and i have also not really a problem (anymore) with overtrading after getting green for the day after a few trades. but holy smokes i still have a BIG problem with stopping my trading when i start the day with lets say 3-4 red trades. i would say a year or so ago i would continue trading until the account was blown up or at least considerably diminished. slowly but surely i tried to stop every time a bit earlier and while i am still not there to say "this was a successful red day", the amount i lose on red days is nowhere close anymore to what i once was. so i guess thats still "progress" right? :))

I was up $30 on MLEC.... and then it tanked. Should've sold off. Now I'm down $57 on it. My only loss today, thank god. Never hold once it shoots up.

[@danielsharkoff4013]

Setting a max loss that you hold yourself too (about half my profit target) is probably the most important rule for me

[@bd0821]

I think this is not as big of a priority when people first start, but in my eyes, this should absolutely be #1 or #2. Ross had mentioned the book "Quit" by Annie Duke. Great read if you have the chance. It's all about cutting your losses in many different situations.

[@matthewcaskey1051]

Excellent call, the first leg is great, little trick I like in warmer markets, is to change the MACD to 3,10,16. When it goes to the first down side so long as it crosses back to the good over the zero line you can jump back in! Works best in my opinion on the 5 minute chart! You can do the same on the 1 minute with 3,9,5 but it will be more of a solid base hit vs a double or triple. Those grandslams only come for me if I catch with confidence near the beginning of that first leg.

[@Anyone-zb8bh]

This doubling down effect is the number one trait of gamblers that takes them down permanently. I've seen this thousands of times and is the number one reason i don't gamble. The bookies count on this trait more than anything else. This is why we as humans need guard rails. How each person implements guard rails is up to them but they are crucial and they must work. 90%+ of humans don't have the necessary restraint to just walk away time and again. It is a discipline for sure. In the heat of the moment we are just not wired to give up and walk away. that's why we have rules, guard rails, methodologies, etc to combat this effect. many people utilize a routine or a discipline to stay true to your guard rails during the heat of the moment. the biggest thing is to break the pattern when it is occurring. the pattern (call it demon dialogue if you want) needs interruption so u can think for a moment. step 1 awareness is the key. u have to recognize when it happens. step 2 have a plan for when you recognize it. step 3 practice makes perfect. long term relationships go through this a lot as well. if u notice you always seem to have the same fights with your significant other. it's a cycle and a pattern. once you realize this you have awareness. only then can you start catching it when it happens. sometimes u just agree to disagree and revisit later but either way u now have a chance to break the pattern. awareness, steps to break cycle, trying over and over again to use the steps to break the cycle. eventually it becomes easier to do.

Ross, I'm a relatively new subscriber and I've been watching a ton of your videos and read your book because to immerse myself in trading as I plan on signing up for your courses and starting to trade. Now, I don't remember which video it was, but it was one of the first ones I watched and you've repeated the comment several times in other videos. In it you said you should set a 2:1 profit ratio target on your trades. And I've thought about that and about how I would structure my daily goals and what I would need to earn to transition to trading full time. And what made sense to me was if I should aim for a 2:1 profit ratio target, then my daily goal should mirror that as well. And you just confirmed that today. Thanks for the words of wisdom. 🙂👍

This video came out perfect timing. I was down and got up. Small red day. That "voice" said KEEP GOING! BUT,... I stopped and called it a good Red day!

[@bryandevary1985]

Thanks Ross, I needed to hear this advice today, it was right on time. I had a few trades not work in my direction this morning. I stuck to the 3 strikes and out rule, and just walked away. In the afternoon, I peeked at the market again and was able to catch a nice ride to the up side to make a little recovery, got out and that felt good., so I tried again with more size and gave it all back plus some. Then I stopped for the day and I'm writing it off as a Red day. Hopefully, the rest of this week will be better for making money. Best of luck to us all.

[@isaaccaissie8743]

This video came at a great time for me as I gave back my last 3 weeks of progress in one day which was last Friday. I was emotionally hijacked and didn't employ my max loss. I've had at least 3 days prior where I was down and decided to trade bigger and bigger size to make back the loss. Friday was the first day that didn't work and I resulted in 8x my max loss. Thanks for these tips👍

[@jakesbodyworks]

Top steps new TSX platform allows me to set and lock a Max DD. Once it’s entered and saved, you can’t change it until the next day. Definitely saved my ass more a few times. Maybe one day I’ll be so used to just shutting down that a crutch isn’t needed. Maybe not. It’s definitely changed my style of trading because now every morning is like starting a new static account. I have to take a few quick scalps to give myself some wiggle room. Then I can start looking for setups or sometimes those scalps turn out to be enough to just call it if I’m not into it.

[@tiagolimp]

Great video. But with a small account (say $1000), you can’t size down much, otherwise the commissions eat away your profits, right? I feel like it’s tough with a $1000 account and setting stop losses lower than 1% to make money as the commissions are big

Hard to say as it varies based on your routing/broker and the liquidity of the stock you're trading.

[@SG-vf4bj]

I have almost 24 years of trading. My trading changed when I stoped to think about yesterday, or the day before or how many winning days in a row I had. I stoped using journals and all that crap. How cares what are my trading performance metrics. They are useless for me. Every day is a new day. If you ask me how many winning days I had this week, I don't know. How much I made yesterday? Or maybe I lost? I don't know. I only interested in the long run.

[@matteo1393]

it seems obvious to hear it but you have to repeat it every day, to be profitable the most important rule is not to lose money, cut your losses immediately. for me it is the first week after two months in simulation with good consistency, and I have come across strong emotions in real management recording losses. now I'll take a few days' break and I'll start again with a smaller size until I reach adequate management of my emotions, the battle is with myself and not with the market.

Ross, can you go back to your TraderVue records and 're-set' your max loss from $5k to $3k, and (using the MAE part of trader view) see if you would have been better off? So for days where MAE was >=$3k, you must book that day as a (possibly 'only') $3k red day (even if in reality you 'came back to make money'). For days where MAE was < $3k you book those days' actual; P/L. You know what I mean?
