You are definitely right. I generalized.

He got deeper problems than not having a trading edge. Traded for 20+ years and have no savings???

What I used to do when I manually day traded was to have a daily stop loss that if reached, I allowed myself to take another trade. If it was a loser, I'd stop, else continue until either I made money back or hit the stop again. If you trade mechanically and your system is losing for that day...

I am glad you brought this up Gotcha. I knew someone would. It is tricky, but most times you just keep digging the hole deeper. Trading is all about following rules strictly and in this case capital preservation is mandatory. That's the point I was trying to make.

Have you written down how much this particular mistake has cost you over your career? I'll give you a real example. If the guy in the picture below had set a daily stop loss at -5k, he would have saved close to $23k over the course of 4 trading months which would represent an 85% increase in his...

Hey Nakachalet, thank you for your interest. I was only able to see a 1-minute video.

I agree, it is not a silver bullet John, but it is an incredibly powerful tool for those who use it.

Great question. Thank you for asking. Most traders go out of business without knowing the underlying reasons. They might say that they ran out of money, time, discipline to follow a strategy and so forth. All good reasons, but... When you analyze their trades with a system like Trademetria, it...

Conventional wisdom says it costs a lot more to get a new trader than to keep a current one. Exactly how much more expensive is up for debate, but the fundamental concept is pretty clear: you’re wasting resources if the traders you work hard to bring end up blowing up their accounts. Traders...

I am not a trend or range trader, but I'll give you my 2 cents. I'd ask a few questions before taking a trade. When it breaks the range, does it do it on strong volume? Low volume means not too many players are interested in breaking it. Did it close above the range? Indication that has...
