@Lallxicht4 жыл бұрын
I think you did John wrong. Since he will always risk 50% of the capital that IS LEFT after a losing trade, he would first lose 50k, then 25k, then 12.5k. In win direction his remaining money is doubled each time. So in your example he would end up at 100k again. And if you did this example with 25% risk you would finally have 180k (but with a drawdown of 58k which of course would be unbearable). Sally would be at 105k. Anyway I extremely appreciate your videos and have learned a lot. Thank you!

Divide your capital by your down side risk (stop) indicated as % to give you your position size for the trade. If the down side risk, to the stop, is 3% then divide $100,000 by 3. (assuming your have set your risk at 1% of capital. If down side risk is 7% then divide $100,000 by 7 for your position size. Easy calculation.

I don't know if Rayner monitors comments, so I'll ask this question for Rayner and for the group. I notice that when I set the risk at 1%, the position size is usually 25%-50% of my account value. Do y'all throw that high a percentage into one trade, or do you have a maximum (i.e., maximum of x% of the account per trade)? I've been doing max 10% of my account per trade. but that is honestly a fairly random limit. Just wanted to get some thoughts about that. Thanks, to anyone who weighs in on this!
@sammy-tee_thetrader48284 жыл бұрын
Rayner I hear what you're saying and in your example you said John's account will be blown in 2 trades. I kinda disagree because since he's risking 50% of his account and hopes to make 100% on each trade and his strategy has a 50% win rate, he won't lose nor gain anything after 10 trades.

Thanks for the great content Rayner !! But please correct me if I am wrong, in the example you gave, John would be 100K again by the end of that series of trades ( LLLWWLLWWW), if he risks 50% of the 100K on every trade, on the first trade he would loose 50k, but the 2nd trade we would only loose 25K as his account would no longer be 100K but 50K, on the 3rd he would loose 12.5k, having a total account balance of 12.5K, now on the 4th he would have 25K, following the 1:2 risk reward, then 50k, then 25K, then 12.5K then 25K than 50K than 100K again. On the other side Sally would be = on the 1st ,lost 1k making 99k, then 98.010, then 97.030, then 98.970, then 100.950, then 99.940, then 98.941, then 100.920, then 102.938 and finally 104.997. So Jhon would be at the same exact position by the end, and Sally with the +5%. At the end Sally's approach if off course less risk.

I’m having trouble with the long position sizing tool. I don’t trade Forex and yet the tool defaults to a “Lot Size” of 1 and shows me incorrect quantities to buy. For example, let’s say I enter: Account size 10k Risk size 2% Entry at $1.05 Stop at $1.03 The position sizing tool tells me to buy 9,756.098 QTY. That can’t be right. That’s more than my account balance. And it always does this. And there’s no way to get rid of the “Lot Size” field or set it to zero. Any solutions you can think of?
