I have honestly learned more from your channel than any other trading channel on RU-vid! I can’t thank you enough! In 2020 I decided to learn how to lose weight, I lost 75 pounds and have kept it off. In August of 2021 I decided to learn how to make money in the Stock market. I found your channel 3 months ago roughly and have designed a strategy based on your videos and I’m up with just under 40% returns in that time. I cut losers quickly and let winners run with a strategic understanding of a exit point. I absolutely love your videos! This is the best channel on RU-vid as far as I’m concerned! Thank you 🙏 so damn much for your time and teachings! You have my utmost respect and loyalty!
Reward to Risk is definitely the cornerstone of my strategy. Everything else should be working for it. Momentum, tight setups, timing, relative strength, industries and market conditions. Great video. Thanks.
@@kippsguitar6539 That's right, we trade for money but the primary goal is to find great trades, positive balances between reward and risk, and money will follow. We can't expect to earn money at all cost ! Not here to tell how much I profit or lose :D Wish you the very best.
I have an RR of 2:1 win/loss ratio with a 40% to 50% win rate, month to month. 6% to 15% gains per month depending on number of set-ups I get. Forex market at the moment (EUR/USD)
Thanks Gareth. Perfectly explained. Another technique, for the non breakout trader (like me), is to buy close to support, or around the 20 week EMA, and calculate risk as distance to support whilst reward is the distance to top of Donchian channel.) If the ratio is better than 2 to 1, it's worth a punt. (Other factors have to be taken into account too, like the MACD.)
Yes but you are blinding yourself with science, strategy isn't nearly as important as people believe, it's risk management and psychology they make money consistently
@@kippsguitar6539 Calculating the stop loss and the limit is risk management. Psychology is sticking to your plan. I do not equate this with blinding oneself with science. But thank you for your comment.
The videos you make paired with the book titled Technical analysis of the financial markets by John Murphy make an incredible combination. Keep up the good work and thank you for providing so useful information every time.
Thanks for sharing. So my take away from this video is having an almost full proof set up. I’ve watched many trader videos and a lot of them screen for consolidations and breakouts, but entry for their trades vary using a combination of technical analysis. I am current working on better entry/timing. I am going to create a spreadsheet to help me managing risk after watching your video and seeing how a small breakout can make a huge difference.
Hey, I just want to comment here that I really love your channel and content! I recommend it to anyone interested in trading whenever I can, especially for your commentary and criticism. Thanks you!
Thank you for this channel. I am a visual learner and sometimes it is hard for me to read books alone. This helps me understand the book that I am reading.
Your videos are very helpful for trading community for new trading ideas, risk management, psychology etc. I love the way u explain everything in simple words and appropriate example. I trade in Indian markets and got benefitted from ur videos. Keep it up. Thank you.
During a market crash a novice trader will keep hope that one day his portfolio will come to break even, but when market crashes even more he panic sells all his position and loses money. And when market begin to rise the same novice trader is afraid that anytime the market can change the direction and can go bearish, and this results in the trader locking in the profits very early missing out on big gains.
You seem to also be a novice trader with that simplistic and obvious statement, remember what Charlie munger said, be aware of your circle of competence and realistic, be very careful, good luck
Its all sounds great, on paper.....but only have a meaning in hind site. One never knows what the next hours or day brings, you won't wait for the brake out price to extend too far, then the number of your stopped out trades will increase, loosing less more often.All you can control is the risk, the reward ratio, can only be determined afterwards if there was any at all....
Not so much on paper, I have applied this approach for many years. Its all about putting probability in your favour, therefore improving the win rate too. limit loses and maximise wins is ultimately the goal.
Hello Gareth, Excellent video! I understand how you came up with the risk % based on the prior basing and the breakout candle height. But how do you determine what the reward % should be for a trade? For example, do you project based on some fibonacci projection, analyst projections, or do you assume a sell at a particular RR ratio of say 2.5:1 and move on? Thank you.
I base my assumption on my historical trades which is on average 4:1 - If you build up your database or backtested data you can do the same based on your own longer term average too ;-)
Another great video. However, in practice, keeping the loss at 1 % max is not feasible in my specific case. The transaction costs combined with the tax fee is putting me already at -1.2 %. Essentially, the batting rate and risk reward ratio must be higher in order to make a profit.
Great content. I just don't get it why some people uses the first R as risk, and others as reward. Sometimes it gets confusing. But great video and very easy to understand. I'm new to cripto trading, was always a buy and holder, but it's boring to be a hodlr lol.
I'm a little confused and I hope someone can explain. In the example he has both trades with a 50% win rate. To me entering the trade later in #2 would confirm the breakout. #1 it would seem would be more apt to have a false breakout. If that's the case #1 would have losing trades that #2 would avoid and therefore #2 should have a higher win rate. What am I missing?
The breakout of the upper resistance line is at #1, and will have lower risk. If the rationale for a stop loss is at the lower of the consolidation both would have equal chance of being stopped out 'in theory'. It is always a trade off between risk reward and win rate
Great videos. Is there one that explains of how often it happens that she stock gaps down in aftermarket and never sells at the stop loss level and what to do in that case? I have found myself with a position still going because it gapped down and I end up becoming an accidental investor because of that.
What if the price action never reaches the stop loss or profit price and just ping pong back and forth. At which time would you cut your profit or cut your loss below your limit. You can’t hold forever and prevent other opportunities.
Staying within a positive trend i.e 20 week moving average will help, as does the MACD. Of course you cant be right all the time, we can only move the probabilities into our favour using a positive expectancy approach. Just like a casino.
Hi there, I live in New Zealand and the time zone is brutal for trading with the US market. How can I trade and make money while living in New Zealand?
In market trading, many experts emphasize the importance of Risk Reward Ratio in Stop Loss Level design, with all sorts of arguments & rationale. Isn't it true that the more fundamental thing is the competency & skills in market projection which may bring profit. If this projection is wrong，the best Reward Risk Ratio does not work.
thanks for your videos!! if you enter at a higher price that would probably means a higher win rate? so you have a worst risk reward but a higher win rate i suppose
@@FinancialWisdom yesterday i sign up to your website!! I have a question: do you use the same method to short stocks? And in other markets like commodities or cripto or forex? I want to trade in different markets that are not correlated Thanks
@@FinancialWisdom Until now I am not short stocks either, but I am afraid that a market correction could cause me a very large drawdown, in that case having some shorts would help minimize the risk I suppose 🤷♂️
Hello, I entered 1000 USDT in a Crypto pair trade position by a Risk-to-Reward of 2 ; If it reaches to my take profit/TP, then I will have 2000 USDT ? Thanks,
You don’t always have to think long term. Investing/Trading is as much a tool for shaping your present financial situation as it is for forming your future one. Do you want to buy a BMW next year? Do you want to go on a cruise? Wouldn’t a vacation that was paid for with dividends feel nice?
If you are investing in the hope of buying a house, you will almost certainly be looking at longer-term instruments. If you are investing to buy a computer in the new year, you may want short-term investments that pay dividends or some high-yield bonds.
This content is rich with groundbreaking ideas. I came across a book with like themes that shifted my viewpoint. "Mastering Money Mindfulness" by Benjamin Hawk
