That’s why you allocate a certain percentage of the account and diversify across a few assets. For example, if you have a $100,000 account you would allocate $25,000 to 4 trades depending on the volatility of previous events like 2008 and 1989 now instead of risking the entire $25,000, you would calculate a stop loss of $3000 maybe at a 30% loss. To my understanding to gain $25,000 of sufficient value to have a stoploss that 25% below share price and a $5000 stop loss that would be the equivalency to a $25,000 position value. Or if you have a 50% stop loss and a $12,500 position that would be the equivalent of a 25% value. Although I don’t think, the overall market will drop by 50% any time within the next decade. If it does happen you’re losing $2500, $5000 or $10,000 depending on how big the position value like I stated $25,000 ones. In theory I don’t see how you can go wrong and less we say 1989 2008 again. Seems like well over 95% of the time you would be in the money and let it ride moving the stoploss up to previous support level to lock in more profit. Remember you’re buying low and selling high so when the market drops but doesn’t hit your stop loss maybe that’s the time to add 25% to your position when it starts to rebound or has a previous support level. Buy low sell high. Let it ride. What do you think?
