I Win 100% Of My Trades- Expectancy.

Ok.. so since every trade is a winner already, would you mind sharing with us how many of your trades result in money going into your account, and how many trades result in money leaving your account?

34% result in "money going into [my] account". I "lose" twice as many times as I "win".

PS I don't think of it that way at all.

Coffee certainly trades differently than Apple.

There are other significant differences, too ...

One produces cider and the other cappuccino.

Easier said than done! If your already up a couple of grand, or millions whichever you deem successful. Losing will always feel bad for me no matter what. It's only after a day or two off the stock market I can propose myself and figure out what went wrong.

Perfect... thanks for this. I fully understand your original point, but its just as important to be aware of this metric you just shared as well.

you just start to realise that it's pointless moving yourself (emotionally) with every outcome. Now it's just another trade.

Kudos for getting to that place. +1

Following a plan, is what makes a "good" trade. The outcome is merely a byproduct of doing the job. The job is to recognize opportunities as defined by a plan, and then, follow that plan to the outcome of that opportunity. It's not anything more than that. The job is not about milking every tick, or never taking a loss. Not every opportunity pans out. You follow a plan, and it's just a trade. A winning trade or a losing trade emits the same response... next! Missed opportunities are what's damaging, with this mindset. Kudos again for getting to a place most will never get to.

You should always try to improve, even the things that already work.

I'm terrible at handling losses. Losing a series of trades makes me feel like the world is ending because what I see on my screen are dollar figures, it's only when I look at percentages I realize that I'm within my normal drawdown.

The confidence of some people on ET is astounding, it makes me think they haven't around long enough to suffer even small changes in the market nor big news events that affected them adversely.

Your trading positions should reflect your personality. If you have problems with losing money while following your rules you should take action to take away pressure and stress.

I developed a mathematical model that tells me what size to trade for the next trade and also periodically how much money to take out of my trading account and put away safely. By doing this I reduced the pressure and stress to almost zero. The fact that I don’t trade all the money I have and lose potential profits from that, is largely compensated by my real performance.

It is better to trade your rules for 100% of the time (thanks to the adjusted position), then try to trade 5 times more, miss half of the trades, die from stress and pressure and finally take loses you should never have to take if you would have been able to follow your rules.

If you trade the size you are comfortably with, you will have no problems at all with loses that are the result of following your rules.

Yes, it's true. 100%.

It's not difficult to do and it doesn't require a super-skewed R:R (no 1 tick winners with huge stops!).

What I'm talking about is +ve Expectancy.

If amateurs make money on any one trade, they get excited, elated and pumped up. If they lose, they may question what they did wrong, get depressed and downtrodden.

Professional traders think differently. They learned that as long as they stick to the proven plan, EVERY trade they take has a +ve E and, therefore, is a winner...even if the single event loses.

Good days and bad days are now no longer synonymous with winning days and losing days. They wake up one day and chuckle to themselves when they realise that they were more upset about that day when they made $200 (whilst deviating from the plan) than the day where they hit their $300 daily stop (whilst taking every valid trade and managing them perfectly according to their plan).

Outcomes are meaningless in the short-term. Following the proven plan 100% of the time means you are ALWAYS winning (even when you are losing).
