[@AWMDroneServices]

any form of trading is 5% technical and 95% mental, if you can't find a way to have self control when trading you will never make it and will be one of the 95% who fail. Good Video.

[@devangpanchasara1151]

I am not an expert about this but I know one thing that When we win big , there's a pitutary gland in our head which makes us feel superior and then we start to loose money

TRADE WITH RULES, NOT EMOTION

[@KennTollens]

All I need to know is how to make one dollar consistently and quickly.

[@MrDvfdsv]

This is one of the single most important trading videos on the internet.

[@johndough8699]

The best advice I read about position size goes along with what you say at 7:00 about being comfortable with how much your can lose. I think it was by Adam Grimes, who wrote “The Art and Science of Technical Analysis.” He basically said that, if you’re worried and sweating about how much you might lose, then your position size is too large.

[@XulTaiff]

Went from 3k to 6k to $800 now, not sticking to my plan is what has fukd me up, n trading my whole account lol

[@emmanuelleunamme9053]

Do a full trading session! I want to see all the knowledge you share being applied in real time. Love the videos!

[@terrygarcia8826]

2 Thumbs Up! THANK YOU. I needed to hear this: this very morning, as I sit at my desk, in my home office, a retail trader on Holiday, pondering my trading goals for 2018. Your wisdom does indeed resonate with the same counsel that top tier athletes get from their own coaches.

[@djjamessilk]

Brilliantly informative channel, with no ulterior motive (not pushing for sales of something). Love your content.

[@danielsckarin574]

I would like to add to this information liquidity of the market. When you trade big, slippage becomes bigger so you need to trade patterns from bigger time frames.

[@towhidskynet]

I was reading a book on day trade full of garbage and technical jargons, raised my blood pressure quite a bit. You explain things so well. Thank you sir. Subscribed.

[@cmh9013]

It's numbers on a screen detach yourself emotionally.

[@drleo6409]

I thought about this when I first started trading... I have never seen anyone talk about it. This really confirms that it is a real thing to focus on... It is the strategy , the % gain and so forth... Not the cash . If i win or loose as long as I make the right decisions I did the right thing.

[@chriswilliam4123]

I am new to trading but as one of the top 8% students in my college, I can tell you this guy is absolutely correct. How? well, everyone in the class usually runs after grades and they get nothing. I don't give a shit about them and instead try to learn whatever the institution has to offer so at the end of the day, I don't just have a paper that says "degree" but the knowledge in that field. And that automatically results in better grades.

[@rainmaker1011]

I think one has to find the best trading style/strategy that fits the personality of the trader. I found it in swing trading and "set and forget" approach. I do my analysis once a week, I enter my orders with take profit and stop loss and I forget about it. I let the system work for me. I risk maximum 2% of my account and I keep the trade open until it hits TP or SL. Or on fridays I close before end of market hours so I do not hold positions over weekend. This suita me best. People tend to change their plans while trading and that causes losses. Just focus on % and follow your plan 100% of the time.

[@shahrukhkhan-ek5hu]

i love ur down to bottomline xplanations.......but i wud say difference btw 1000 1000000 is not just process...its lack of trust on their process and ability to cut losses and if required flip the trade on the other side.............took me 10 yrs.,.but damn the freedom and mental agility is priceless and profitable.......and learn to scale in

[@rooftoptrading461]

Trade well and the money will come. Size comes with confidence and results.

[@Plumbermark]

I never think in terms of money only in percentage per annum which is how I trade...After all do you want your money sitting in a bank getting 4 % PA or a good strategy getting you 100% PA ?

[@soraaoixxthebluesky]

Psychology is the hardest part of the game. I’ve seen people with an 80% strike rate trading strategy losing like 6 figures in matter of a few trades.

[@agedvagabond]

Everything I step up to go for 100k I get smoked yet I can make 1k a day no worries, its because I stop focusing on the statistical probability of a series of trades and start focusing on the individual trade. Mark Douglas is the man that saved my soul, and made me accept it is going to take me over 100 days to get there.

[@TangoJR_10]

Most people like to withdraw their money to uplift their lifestyle, or make use of for other things. And when they come back to trade, they start with a small amount, if it goes up, they repeat the process. Its not always easy to see money and not use it right away because most of us think we might lose it so why not spend it. Its more challenging to increase money, just as much as its challenging to hold profits

[@paulstanley2789]

You come across in your videos as honest and realistic. Thanks really helpful.

[@englishmadeeasy3997]

It is the understanding plus having passion for what you do so again every time I watch a video of yours I get to realize how good you are and sorry you are not just good you’re excellent. Thanks for the hard work

[@holdingthings1001]

Very interesting. Thank you. Just got the P&L back into the green by tightening up my strategy. Will implement into my trading tomorrow

[@47goldberg]

Very valid point and well put together

[@PrashantSolomon]

Great video. But please elaborate on what is the PROCESS. Do you mean your trading plan based on already studied Entry and Exit targets? Kindly explain some more on this. Thanks.

[@TomD5222]

yes guys, instead of profit which you made in mt4, set up points..or pips, which you see, and then hold the strategy. SL is psychological thing, mainly in smaller account, where you need more deep budget, and obvious pattience but I would preferer from my experience go for daily trading if you have budget 1-5K and speed up process faster. Significant results come on bigger accout with swing trading..later..also you can split strategy, have account for daytrading and swingtrading together..Moving SL agains our plan decision doesnt make sence, cause you brake rules - hold the plan, it can be still correction so no panic!!!

[@Harry-lq2jz]

You've actually pointed out and clarified the mistake I made just yesterday!! You are absolutely right about the fear factor, of course, and I must understand that "losing" is a part of process, too...!! :-(

[@arnielee9855]

Great vid, hit the nail on the head with what I’m struggling with. Focus on the process not the money, spot on, Thankyou

[@terrencehooi2520]

true,,, very honest video. The probability of a "DAY TRADER" making 1,000% from one trade is close to zero. Stop making your brokers rich!

[@Sam-ue4rv]

Find a Stock you like.. that's volatile and buy low sell high rinse repeat.. Funding Circle was the one for me.. buying at 80p Or near about.. selling at 90p plus.. Been like that 3 Months made money but not enough.. don't have much and not risking.. it's my long term position so I sell take profits and buy on the dips.. more like swing trading.. so far so good..

[@nanahund]

You are fantastic man! Thank you so much for doing this for free! I like how you keep being humble instead of cocky like so many other 'teachers'!

[@keithdmello]

Beautifully explained. Thank you.

[@cristianmicu]

walking a plank on the floor versus walking a plank at the top of two buildings between them 1000$ vs 100.000$ at 1% risk management per trade at 1000$ you risk 10$ per trade, at 100.000$ you risk 1000$ per trade, which in practice, actually trading that is a huge problem to overcome or you got to 50000$ account, half way there , and you widraw to buy a car for 30000$, because you cant lose the brand new car in yoru driveway, but you can lose 30000 when they are in your trading account and you feel safe. etc etc

[@MM-ji5je]

This is the first time a trading video has made me laugh (when you drew your own P/L chart from the time you were starting out - how honest!).

[@paulbrown5839]

Did you say 'remove your stop' at 4:50? When would you decide it is right to remove a stop?

[@anubhatia]

Focus on the process not on profit . So true.

[@boris9047]

"People are focused on the money not the process". The same goes for sports, if a team and the coach are too focused on the results instead of the process...they will probably not make it.

[@englishmadeeasy3997]

[@nizar.mahran]

Very insightful and empathetic :) great content !

[@mohit189]

Its like two mindset GROWTH MINDSET VS FULFILING MINDSET Some traders have a growth mindset they want to grow their account/capital from a small account to 5-6digit figure capita and then make huge money! They focus of Process. While some traders they just trade to ful fill their materials hunger or they think trading as a means to get money for there expenses.They focus on Money. In my view both are correct in there own way.

[@charlesjonesjr1262]

in other words don't get emotional about the money

[@wavemaker2077]

Great video. It is really the mental aspect that the traders have to deal with more than the actual trade. I think what you meant is the system and not the process. Maybe most of the traders do not trust their system yet and that's why they cannot bet big yet. But then again as you mentioned, most traders lose $1000 and gain the same amount but seldom lose $100k and gain the same amount. It is really a mental aspect that most traders need to overcome.

[@Jackie71648]

this is too good!love it 👍

[@andrewhoward6724]

I spreadbet using percentage loss/win rather than pounds loss/win so its all proportional to my account size. this helps with money management and keeps everything in perspective. I don't know if this will help anyone but I hope it does.

[@lombardo141]

In my opinion this strategy is good for swing traders. Day trading you take profits always and repeat process. Also most successful intuitional traders don’t trade with their money. So it easy to emotionally detach yourself.

[@Robobinks]

good video. He's right about the process. It's also scaling and planning that trade from beginning to end. Once one can annotate and calculate expected stock move. position size comes into play. Then finally ones ability to follow their own trading rules.

[@laureven]

is there a definition when we can call someone a trader. You used in sentence "most traders" ...For me a trader is a person whos trading is profitable, not a person who is trading. Anyone can download a software , top up the account and strart making trades. where is the line ??? :)

[@henrybarnard644]

The biggest issue I have with trading, particularly with stocks and sector ETFs, is watching what the overall market is doing. For instance, the last couple of months the overall market has been hitting new all-time highs on a regular basis, and this perception has made me take quick sales of trades that under normal circumstances I would have let run -- because I don't know when the market is going to break and take everything down with it. That 4 out of five stocks move with the market means that it has a tremendous impact on such trades, so one cannot ignore what the overall market is doing. I wish you would have a video on your strategy for mentally dealing with this issue.

[@ukspreadbetting]

thanks for your feedback, I'm sending your comment to Mark as it could be an interesting topic for a video in future.

[@JeffMooreTM]

You explained this really well.. Great video and keep them coming!

[@jackdavis4838]

I think the reason they don't make 100,000$ is because most are scalpers. Trading 5 to 10 pips.And they gotta be in & out in an instant. So making that big amount in a single trade will require quite the numbers of lot size. And then exiting the trade with that much big position in small window of time would be chaotic.

[@UK7868]

Good if you do the basics from opening account and showing us new investors on how to trade.

[@armandssakne1868]

I have another add on to this issue. Most of us live hard work making money life’s. Input and energy we put in to our daily work is way larger than our income from salaries. Most of us don’t know what is large money. How many of us ever hold the stack of $\€\£10000 cash? Real cash? Maybe only 1-3% of us. When people start to day trade there is now mental scale inside of brain for large money. It simply does not exist. Brain has to learn that there is easy way to make money, with couple clicks of pc mouse. Whole education and labor system is pretty much socialist based, and it don’t learn to people how to scale up life. I think that is one of the problems with scaling.
