1 | 00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:21,900 | ICT: possible to a little bit of progress with the barley Trust Bank oil rich we have ShotSpotter boiled down by automatic get the officer up. |
2 | 00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:40,710 | Alright guys, handling losses and inevitable draw downs. Sorry, man, it was bound to happen, right? I mean, this was you when you had your moneybags in |
3 | 00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:49,050 | hand, you're off to the races running and all of a sudden, boom, you tripped and you fell on your face? Man, listen, all of us do it. And if you haven't done it |
4 | 00:01:49,050 --> 00:01:56,400 | yet, give it some time. It's going to happen to you. Now, did you really think you're going to be the one that never gets hit with a string of losses? I mean, |
5 | 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:06,960 | come on. Welcome to the real world trading. How did this impact your equity? Did you single handedly orchestrate your personal Armageddon? Hopefully not. But |
6 | 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:15,330 | have you experienced such a drawdown that you're contemplating giving up? Maybe stopping trading altogether? Or worse yet? Have you drained yourself |
7 | 00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:23,760 | emotionally, or psychologically? Folks, this business can really, really hurt you, not only financially, but it can warp you. I mean, we've all heard stories |
8 | 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:32,850 | where guys have jumped out of buildings, because they lost their entire net worth. And my goal is to number one, show you that there's a way of making money |
9 | 00:02:32,850 --> 00:02:41,520 | in this business, and not risking a whole lot. But you absolutely are in control of the risk. There's no one pushing your finger on that button. But you, you're |
10 | 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:50,310 | the one in the driver's seat. And so this topic is very, very important. And it's most dear to me, because I've experienced horrific losses in my trading |
11 | 00:02:50,310 --> 00:03:04,620 | career. So, you know, hopefully, you'll learn from some of the mistakes I've made, and you can avoid them. Alright, and it was this to you, about your |
12 | 00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:11,580 | girlfriend or your wife, or maybe it's your husband. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this is probably what you had in mind when you first got involved |
13 | 00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:21,960 | in trading. You want to go out and just hit hit the markets and take off and never see a loss and or if you did get one is very small, and you'd be 99% Right |
14 | 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:30,720 | on everything. Because after all, the guy that sold you that robot, or that EA, or that trading system, or he's in that forum telling you it's gonna have 100% |
15 | 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:41,700 | win ratio. Listen, man, when you first start off, you have to have this prepared in the forefront of your mind that you're going to assume losses, and a lot of |
16 | 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:51,060 | them. And even as a seasoned trader like myself, I've run into new strings of losses it's going to happen. Sometimes you're just not firing on all cylinders. |
17 | 00:03:51,900 --> 00:04:01,530 | But, you know, there's ways of getting around that and counteracting that imperfection. But I know this probably hurts a little bit if it's prideful for |
18 | 00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:10,140 | you and thing of ego. But if it feels like I'm rubbing salt in a wound, you understand this salts good for healing. And after all pain lets us know we're |
19 | 00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:19,860 | alive. Now that you experienced the pain of depression brought on by reckless trading and risking too much. Let's take a closer look at more sound approach to |
20 | 00:04:19,890 --> 00:04:33,060 | risk management. Maybe you had this in mind when you first got into trading after all, the guy that sat down with you before told you hey, this myth is so |
21 | 00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:41,790 | good. You risk 10% of your equity. It's going to make your money okay, if you have equity balance of $10,000 You're gonna risk 10% Now the first loss you |
22 | 00:04:41,790 --> 00:04:52,860 | assume Guess what? You just took a $1,000 loss. Okay, system says continue risking 10% So what do you do? You get anything you take the next trade. Bang, |
23 | 00:04:52,890 --> 00:05:07,950 | you hit with an hour loss. Your equity now sits at 8100 hours. Three losses Hit what another era and $10 loss, bang, your cast not 7290 hours. This goes on for |
24 | 00:05:07,950 --> 00:05:19,140 | what could easily be seen in anyone's trading eight, string loss, eight string loss, that is absolutely realistic guys, I don't care how good a trader you are, |
25 | 00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:26,790 | you're going to get this upside your head one day and you need to be prepared for it. If you're going to risk 10% of your equity simply because you think |
26 | 00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:37,350 | you're going to be hitting it on the next trade, and you've been in drawdown, there's a psychological impact that traders go through. And we more or less deny |
27 | 00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:48,420 | the technicals that may be indicating that we're in a trade, it's not going to pan out, but we won't let go of it, we start armwrestling with the market, |
28 | 00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:57,210 | because hey, you know, we're gonna be right, and it's gonna feel so good when we are, and we can give the middle finger not to be true to the screen. cuz of the |
29 | 00:05:57,210 --> 00:06:08,220 | screen, you say, I got you, I got my money back. Everybody wants to have that stuff. That feeling of conquering the market and beating the guy that took the |
30 | 00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:15,300 | money from you last time, everybody wants to go into the endzone, slam football down and do their victory dance and all that. But that doesn't work in this |
31 | 00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:23,850 | business. And they'll hand you your head on a platter. If you give them the opportunity to take your money, and a lot of it, they're gonna be more than |
32 | 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:41,850 | happy to take it from you. If you just take an eight loss streak here and your equity of $10,000 your account draws down $5,217. That's 52% 52%. Folks, you |
33 | 00:06:41,850 --> 00:06:50,520 | think you can take eight trades in a single week, the week some of you guys on these forums, trade, this could happen in a day. Now, I'm not saying that most |
34 | 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:58,470 | of you guys aren't risk that are risking 10% You know, but there are some neophytes to come into this business and think you're gonna have to do it. And |
35 | 00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:07,350 | I'm sorry. But you know, maybe you'll come off the gate, make a couple wins and think, man, you know, I'm risking 10%. And look, it's really working out well. |
36 | 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:17,130 | But man, I'm telling you this, that cycle leads to destruction. Alright, just eight trades, look at this. If you have eight losses, you're crushed. That's |
37 | 00:07:17,130 --> 00:07:26,520 | that's a huge drawdown, not to mention the emotional impact and your mental equity because not only are we trading with real, tangible money, currency, in |
38 | 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:36,090 | our account, that equity base is not limited to student dollar terms, you have an equity amount of money in your mind what you're really willing to absorb in |
39 | 00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:46,320 | risk. You may have put 10,000 into an account. But man, you don't really want to be losing 4000 of it. So what do you really trade in with $4,000. That's your |
40 | 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:59,040 | mental capital. So we're going to talk more about that when we get into wealth building money management. But for now, understand that risking 10% Absolutely |
41 | 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:14,100 | should be no brainer for you. You don't do that. Okay, maybe you're so turned off by 10%. But hey, you know, you're not too afraid of taking risks to 5% per |
42 | 00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:25,470 | trade is it's doable for you 10,000 are starting account. Okay, first loss, bang, five on a loss. Now your count drops down to 9500 hours, you do this for a |
43 | 00:08:25,470 --> 00:08:37,680 | couple series of losses. The fifth loss, okay, now your account, it's down to $7,737. But hey, you're going to make it back and you're not going to bend 5% |
44 | 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:47,160 | risk on every trade? Well, with the standard typical eight string loss that can happen to anybody. I'm not saying I had this once. Once, I'm not saying you're |
45 | 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:56,310 | going to have it three times a year, but it's going to happen eventually. If you are in this business at any length of time, you will suffer a eighth loss |
46 | 00:08:56,340 --> 00:09:09,600 | string, it's going to happen if you had the risk of 5% Betrayed starting with equity balance of $10,000 your equity withdrawal down to the tune of $3,016 or |
47 | 00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:21,750 | 30% drawdown Can you can you withstand that? Can you imagine taking eight trades in a single week and being drawn down 30% Let me tell you something. I have done |
48 | 00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:31,410 | that. I have done that. Okay. And it is absolutely demoralizing because if you come out the gate strong thinking yeah, me I'm gonna, I'm going to tear it up. |
49 | 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,260 | Well, yeah, you're gonna tear it up, right? You're going to tear up your account, okay, and you're going to sit there and be depressed for the entire |
50 | 00:09:37,260 --> 00:09:45,360 | weekend. You're going to mow over possibly adding more money when that's not the answer. The answer is is controlling the amount of money you put up and |
51 | 00:09:47,310 --> 00:09:55,230 | controlling yourself. It's very difficult when you're in a period of drawdown if you're a new trader. I'm talking from experience Okay, when I got involved with |
52 | 00:09:55,230 --> 00:10:07,260 | commodities, I was trading five and six, seven contracts. Chicago portrayed wheat, and really my balance, really should have been working with one midam |
53 | 00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:14,610 | contract. And I'm not going to go into contracts and specifications for commodities. But I'm just saying that I was over leveraging. And the worst part |
54 | 00:10:14,610 --> 00:10:23,610 | of it, I knew I was over leveraging. And when I was losing, it didn't hurt enough. I was going to be right. I was imposing my will on the market. And I'm |
55 | 00:10:23,610 --> 00:10:32,550 | telling you, you will lose doing that. It will hurt you doing that? You don't gain anything from that, except for misery and depression. Trust me. I know. |
56 | 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:43,950 | Okay, so 5% risk is absolutely too much. It's insane. Don't do it. I know, let's look at the typical traders thought going in. This is the standard mentality of |
57 | 00:10:43,950 --> 00:10:51,930 | all traders, if you read it on all the forums, all the books, we all say and I preach it to don't risk any more than 2% per trade. All right. Okay, we're gonna |
58 | 00:10:51,930 --> 00:11:00,750 | look at Trader one up here at the top. Okay, you have one trader, starting with an equity balance of $10,000. And he's going to risk 2% per trade, and he runs |
59 | 00:11:00,750 --> 00:11:15,600 | into the inevitable eight string loss, it's going to happen. Well, the account draws down after eight losses $1,318 total percentage drawdown 13%. |
60 | 00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:24,509 | You could probably withstand that. I mean, most traders could absorb that. Certainly new trades, because they're in they're invincible. And they're |
61 | 00:11:24,509 --> 00:11:32,879 | eventually going to be in the next streak where they make 100% accuracy. So this is absolutely you, within the realm of comfort for most people, if they have a |
62 | 00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:43,289 | 10,000 equity balance, and they only draw down, you know, 1300 bucks, most people can absorb that. But let's flip the script for a moment. Look at Trader |
63 | 00:11:43,349 --> 00:12:00,509 | two. Okay. He starts with 10,000 Rs two, and he's starting with 2% risk. Watch what happens, his first loss at 2% is 200 hours. Suddenly, he has a problem. He |
64 | 00:12:00,509 --> 00:12:12,269 | has absorbed a loss. Something's going to take place in this traders mind that didn't take place in the first traders mind. So as next trade, he only loses |
65 | 00:12:12,359 --> 00:12:28,829 | $98. But it's still a loss. So the next trade he takes is what a loss of $48 look at just after three losses, the difference in terms of equity, where we are |
66 | 00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:42,149 | essentially in the same neighborhood. But look what happens over the period of the eight losses. trader to after eight string loss. His account draws down $538 |
67 | 00:12:42,809 --> 00:12:54,569 | total percentage drawdown 5%. Do you see a difference there? What do you think trader two did differently that trader one didn't do. Number one, he identified |
68 | 00:12:54,569 --> 00:13:06,509 | the fact that he is not perfect. He identify or she rather indifferent to the ladies that are watching this Sorry, sorry, the second trader here in our case |
69 | 00:13:06,509 --> 00:13:18,179 | study when he absorbs a loss, okay, he only takes one to do this the first loss immediately he cuts his risk in half. So no longer is he risking 2%. So now he |
70 | 00:13:18,179 --> 00:13:29,129 | has Thrall down at 200 hours. So he risks on the next trade when his account equity is at 90 $100. He's going to risk 1% per trade. Now he assumes another |
71 | 00:13:29,129 --> 00:13:43,199 | loss. Does he stay at 1%? Absolutely not. What does he do, he drops down to one half of 1%. So his next trade, he has lost $48.51. Guys, you can take that. If |
72 | 00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:49,919 | you got 9000 seminars in your account and you can lose $48 You can lose 50 bucks, you're not losing sleep every day, if you could lose if you lose sleep |
73 | 00:13:49,919 --> 00:13:59,279 | over that type of loss with the equity balance of $9,000 stop trading it's not for you. Go Go bet at a horse races and you know, play lottery something like |
74 | 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:06,509 | that. But I'm telling you, you have to assume some kind of risk. And this is goes along with everything that's been discussed at the beginning of the |
75 | 00:14:06,509 --> 00:14:13,679 | disclaimers. I mean, you have to understand you're going to lose money in this business. And if you're not comfortable with losing money on a consistent basis |
76 | 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:22,529 | where you're not perfect. Bottom line is stop trading. Okay, I have losses, you're gonna have losses too. I can't teach you how to trade perfectly without |
77 | 00:14:22,529 --> 00:14:29,369 | losses. No one can, you're not gonna be able to find it. And if that's the Grail you're looking for, it doesn't exist. Trust me, it doesn't exist because I'd pay |
78 | 00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:42,539 | everything I have for it and it's not there. Trust me. So let's keep this train rolling here. Okay, after he drops his equity risk to one half of 1% Okay, and |
79 | 00:14:42,539 --> 00:14:54,089 | he has another loss, the fourth loss. Okay. $48.27. While he takes another loss, he stays at one half of 1%. Look what happens at the end of his eight losses. |
80 | 00:14:55,229 --> 00:15:05,579 | He's got a huge amount of his starting equity still at his disposal and he suffered eight losses, he hasn't had one winning trade yet. Now contrast that |
81 | 00:15:05,579 --> 00:15:23,579 | with trader one. This guy, he's down 1300 bucks. trader to he's only down $538 The 5% drawdown is absolutely tolerable in anyone's realm of trading. I mean, |
82 | 00:15:23,579 --> 00:15:33,629 | you're gonna you're gonna suffer 5% Good grief 5% You know, that's it you're trying to make in a day some some of you guys that are trading, you have to |
83 | 00:15:33,629 --> 00:15:43,529 | control your risk, okay, if you have a loss, cut your risk. If you have another loss, cut your risk trade and drop down to one half of 1%. Now, if you have five |
84 | 00:15:43,529 --> 00:15:55,679 | or six trades, then you've lost that half 1% Drop it down to a quarter percent. Okay, whatever suits your risk appetite. That's what you have to do. But you |
85 | 00:15:55,679 --> 00:16:04,139 | have to go the other way you do not. You do not average down. In other words, you don't take well I lost 2% mean risk for now. Because if it all it takes is |
86 | 00:16:04,139 --> 00:16:13,409 | one trade and I'll make that back and maybe even make the 2% that I was hoping to make on the previous trade that lost. Or I only have to make, you know half |
87 | 00:16:13,409 --> 00:16:20,309 | of what I lost in terms of pips on the last trade. If I was fortunate. Don't do that, guys, I've done it. I'm telling you, I've done it. Granted, I'll give you |
88 | 00:16:20,309 --> 00:16:27,599 | this, I'm gonna be fair. There's been times where early on, I did it, and it worked out in my favor. But when I tried it later on, it crushed me and it never |
89 | 00:16:27,599 --> 00:16:34,799 | gave it back to me. It took more and it took more and it took more and I'm telling you, it is a loser's game. Trust me, I knew this by firsthand |
90 | 00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:43,979 | experience. It never pans out over time doesn't happen. Okay, so just don't do it. If you have a loss, cut your risk. Cut your risk, cut your risk. Alright. |
91 | 00:16:48,329 --> 00:16:59,339 | Now let's assume let's stretch this out a little bit. All right. Trader one had a drawdown of $1,300. Okay, on eight losses, not one trade was a winner. All |
92 | 00:16:59,369 --> 00:17:08,069 | eight were losers. Well look at Trader two. Let's assume for a moment the guy hits and he's got a bad run, you know, he's got some problems in his personal |
93 | 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:15,029 | life. And a nine to five is getting him, you know, stressed out his boss is driving him crazy. You know, he's rushing trades. He's not following the system. |
94 | 00:17:15,809 --> 00:17:23,759 | He's not feeling well. He's spending too much time in the forms and not really studying the charts. It's something that's keeping him from being disciplined, |
95 | 00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:32,669 | okay, he's not hitting on all four on all cylinders. Something's wrong, maybe he's got a system doesn't work. Maybe he's a bit he has an abandoned his bad |
96 | 00:17:32,669 --> 00:17:43,349 | habits. Bottom line is is he's not made a profitable trade yet. Look what trader two can absorb, he can absorb three times the amount of loss that trader one |
97 | 00:17:43,349 --> 00:17:53,879 | can. Following the same approach, the first loss, risking 2%, the only draws down the 90 $100. Second loss, risking 1%. Now because he's trained back to his |
98 | 00:17:53,879 --> 00:18:06,569 | risk, he only loses $90 His drawdown goes to $9,700 in his account. Now he's at one half of 1%. And he stays there. Okay, all the way through up to 24 losses, |
99 | 00:18:06,569 --> 00:18:21,569 | this gentleman or young lady could have a loss string of 24 losses and still be less than the first trader. Think about that. This guy or GAO can have 24 losing |
100 | 00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:35,189 | trades, and still have lost less than the first trader on a trade. Because he didn't augment his risk exposure. You have to control the amount of risk in your |
101 | 00:18:35,189 --> 00:18:42,689 | account. If you do not do this, no one's doing it for you. I can't do it for you, your wife can't do it for you, your husband can't do it for you to kids |
102 | 00:18:42,689 --> 00:18:51,479 | can't do it, that a burka certainly ain't gonna do it. Okay, so you have to have this in your plan. It has to be mounted on the wall tattooed on your hand, it's |
103 | 00:18:51,479 --> 00:18:59,429 | got to be on your forehead. So when you see yourself in the mirror, you see this all the time control risk. I can't stress it enough. Nobody talks about it |
104 | 00:18:59,429 --> 00:19:08,009 | enough in you have to do this. You absolutely have to do this. Okay, this will give you the the Viagra effect not to be crude, but it gives you to stay in |
105 | 00:19:08,009 --> 00:19:16,499 | power. You have to be able to absorb losses, cuz I'm telling you these banks, they're ruthless is good as my methods are, I still get slapped around |
106 | 00:19:16,499 --> 00:19:25,919 | sometimes, okay, it's going to happen. Now, granted, when we dropped down to half a percent, okay, we're not probably going to make a whole lot of money |
107 | 00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:38,189 | coming back out of it. Sure, that's fine. But there's a there's a strategy that we're implying. That goes a long way in terms of a profitable career. Okay, if |
108 | 00:19:38,189 --> 00:19:48,779 | you can absorb 24 losses and only have 12% drawdown. You're controlling risk. There's not a trader out there, okay, that can beat their chests and say, I've |
109 | 00:19:48,779 --> 00:19:56,609 | been trading for five 810 years, okay. And I've never had an eight string loss. Okay, I'm telling you that they don't don't that's a unicorn, they don't exist. |
110 | 00:19:56,789 --> 00:20:04,469 | Okay, so you're gonna have strings of losses. I'm showing you how Even with an I've never had 24 losses, I'll give you that I've never had a string of 24 |
111 | 00:20:04,469 --> 00:20:13,949 | losses, but I've given you a shield. Okay? I've given you a mindset when you step out in the arena and risk your capital and you risk your money. This is |
112 | 00:20:13,949 --> 00:20:23,369 | your only defense, this right here, okay? It's not the trade signals, okay? It's not the amount of money you put in the account to start with. It's the amount of |
113 | 00:20:23,369 --> 00:20:32,039 | money you put up. Because whatever you offer them in your hand, open palmed, they're going to take it if they can. So if you give them a large percentage of |
114 | 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:43,559 | it, all you're doing is enticing more interest and taking it from you. Okay, so the moral of the story is, if you have a loss, cut your risk, if you if you have |
115 | 00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:54,059 | a loss, again, you cut your wrist and you drop down to one half of 1%. Okay, and you stay there until we have a term inequity. And when you start making money |
116 | 00:20:54,059 --> 00:21:02,969 | and started being profitable, okay. There's a way to going back to your original risk exposure. So your maximum risk exposure is 2% per trade. Okay, how do we, |
117 | 00:21:03,209 --> 00:21:07,529 | how do we compensate for that? How do we get back to that? That point? Well, let's talk about that now. |
118 | 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:18,330 | All right, when the penny drops, guys, I know this probably looks like you sometimes when you're freaking out in your accounts in drawdown, you haven't |
119 | 00:21:18,330 --> 00:21:25,740 | seen a winning trade and you days, weeks, maybe a month. And it's very stressful. You don't want to talk to your wife, your kids are getting on your |
120 | 00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:30,870 | nerves. You know, if you have a job, you certainly don't want to go to work. And the last thing you want to hear is the boss telling you what to do because |
121 | 00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:40,890 | you're doing everything you can to get his his grip and his clutches. Alright, so basically, how do we, how do we go forward with this information? Okay, well, |
122 | 00:21:40,890 --> 00:21:47,970 | when we experience a loss, the first thing you want to do is number one reduced risk. That's the absolute first thing you think in your mind not let me get back |
123 | 00:21:47,970 --> 00:21:55,200 | in and try to get my money back. No, you cut risk. Why? Because you already have a state of mind where you feel you're victimized, okay, I don't care how long |
124 | 00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:05,550 | you been trading losses still haven't have an impact, okay? I don't like losing, I hate losing, okay, because my method wins more than it loses. When it happens. |
125 | 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:13,950 | I don't like, okay, but I don't beat myself up about and going into, well, you know, I lost $500 I'm gonna get in there and trade. And we'll try to make $2,000 |
126 | 00:22:13,950 --> 00:22:20,220 | On the next trade because I lost five, I want to get four times as much money back, I want to do it in half the time. I don't think like that anymore. I did, |
127 | 00:22:20,250 --> 00:22:26,460 | I'm gonna give you this, I did things like that years ago. But I don't need to do that anymore. Okay. And you don't need to do that. Now, if you haven't |
128 | 00:22:26,490 --> 00:22:38,490 | adapted that bad habit. This is hopefully keep you from doing it. So, if you take a loss of 2%, the next trade you will only assume 1% risk. Now, should this |
129 | 00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:51,120 | trade result in a loss, the next trade will only assume one half of 1%. Okay, you will only risk one half of 1% per trade until you have made at least 50% of |
130 | 00:22:51,120 --> 00:23:00,180 | the drawdown of the equity dip from the trade risking 1% of equity. Okay, so in other words, the trade that you'd lost when you were risking 1%, whatever that |
131 | 00:23:00,180 --> 00:23:12,630 | amount is, let's say it's 500 bucks, you need to make 250 hours risking one half of 1%. Before you can trade up to the 1% risk per trade tear. Okay, now you're |
132 | 00:23:12,630 --> 00:23:25,230 | going to risk 1% per trade until you make at least 50% of the equity dip that you used when you risked 2% per trade. Okay. So again, if you're risking 500 |
133 | 00:23:25,230 --> 00:23:34,650 | hours, when you're risking 2% at 1% risk, you need to make at least $250 Before you go back to risking 2% If you lose, you go back to that system again, you |
134 | 00:23:34,650 --> 00:23:43,290 | dropped cut in half, cut it in half cut in half. And now you have an opportunity to step back and say okay, I can take some blows, I can get knocked around, but |
135 | 00:23:43,290 --> 00:23:53,790 | I'm not getting taken out of the game. Okay, so now hopefully, hopefully, with this presentation, you can breathe. There's a way of doing it, guys. Okay. And |
136 | 00:23:53,790 --> 00:24:01,530 | this is how it's done. You can't stay in this business without controlling your risk. That's the moral stick to the game plan, stick to the method of |
137 | 00:24:01,590 --> 00:24:11,220 | controlling risk using this approach. And I absolutely guarantee, okay, you want the Holy Grail. This is the holy grail. This is it. You have to have a shield in |
138 | 00:24:11,220 --> 00:24:18,540 | this business. If you don't, your money is going to come to me. It's going to go to the central banks, it's going to go to the guys that know how to do this, |
139 | 00:24:18,570 --> 00:24:25,710 | okay, because I'm going to be in the game years from now, you know, and I'm going to still apply this approach when I have losses. This is how I do it. This |
140 | 00:24:25,710 --> 00:24:35,430 | is what kept me in the game. As long as I've been it's going to be a concept that I hold closest to me, because this is more important than my entry signals. |
141 | 00:24:35,820 --> 00:24:43,410 | This is more important to my exit. This is the absolute key and cornerstone to long term success and careers and trading |
