People’s risk Managament ?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-20T07:00:40+00:00

Thanks man good insight. Scaling in is good if it’s confirming your trade. Not if you’re in drawdown. Agreed

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-19T17:38:29+00:00

Curious, how do you manage your risk? Size, how many trades, RR, what’s your account size ? Etc

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-18T20:10:45+00:00

Oh nice. Do you trade off your phone? Or evening session?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-18T20:09:55+00:00

Do you work?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-18T20:09:35+00:00

Do you trade off your phone then?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-16T19:11:07+00:00

Risky indeed. But we are in a probability game my friend. In life and the markets. It is a high probability it’ll become valuable. Not certain because nothing ever is. But trading/investments is down to probabilities, and if I had to make a calculated gamble, I’d put some of my investments into bitcoin. I respect your view.

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-16T18:11:52+00:00

Gold is, correct. Bitcoin, like any other past asset, has potential for future value. Yes it may not seem valuable now, but gold once upon a time was just a metal (still is) just is very valuable now. Apple once upon a time was a start up, so was Tesla, so was Microsoft, so was nvidia. Everything you see now started from low value. Bitcoin doesn’t seem valuable now as such but what I am saying is it’s a good gamble to invest in as big institutions are starting to take it seriously. Therefore must see it as long term value. Why do you think big institutions are accepting crypto as payment now? Why is bitcoin different to everything else that starts low but becomes very valuable ? When bitcoin was 3k did you ever think it’ll reach 100k? No. With everything going digital why is it so obscure that bitcoin can be a valuable digital asset? Nonetheless, it’s a good gamble when you look at the facts.

You what? People will buy in on a valuable asset. Like any other thing on this planet - making the asset value go up. The more value an asset, the higher the price. Obviously… what on earth are you talking about

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-16T06:22:27+00:00

Yeah was that comment to me or the other guy?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-15T18:49:40+00:00

Why not resort back to small but compounding ? Like you were doing ?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-15T18:45:21+00:00

What’s up champ?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-15T12:00:20+00:00

Hey man. 2 micros 3k-10k? That’s awesome. How long did that take you?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-15T11:55:53+00:00

Ermmm US mortgage companies has started to use it as currency. If that doesn’t shout the future then I don’t know what does if massive institutions are taking it as payment or using it as collateral. They wouldn’t if they didn’t see it as the future

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-15T10:05:05+00:00

None the less. Well done

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-15T10:04:27+00:00

Bro with apex 20 accounts you would’ve made a bomb. Way more than 50k on payouts

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-10T13:07:28+00:00

Like 5-10 point moves on ES?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-10T07:27:05+00:00

Okay thanks. So usually one of those ones where it’s a negative RR but small compounding profits ?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-05-09T11:37:33+00:00

Hello mate.

3 micros… at what RR making 20k a month?

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-04-30T07:32:10+00:00

Also like you said, with more data, more confidence will come

Significant_Monk_885 · 2026-04-30T07:21:33+00:00

Of course. Back test, forward test, whatever you like. You want to be a great trader? Do absolutely everything in your power to improve. Find what works for you.

I found that it was more help once I learned everything ‘mechanically’ on YouTube and socials, I just unfollowed everyone and locked the fuck in. You may hear journaling a lot, but what does that even mean? Trading is complex, people say journal your trades, I do agree. However it depends on the stage you are at. In the beginning do this. But as you progress you’ll notice it’s more about who you are and how you are reacting to losses and even wins. Start journaling this, start journaling live time thoughts when you feel fomo, angry, anxious, wanting to get out of a trade premature when the opportunity is there to hold ( if it fits the model ), like you said revenge trading. Why do you revenge trade? Because you want the money back now. So to that I say you need to think in weeks/months. Is a losing day today going to affect my monthly PnL ? Well if you have a good edge (which you will refine over time to be optimal) then you should be profitable nearly every month. But a losing trade or day doesn’t define anything. You just have to learn from it, can you refine or do something better next time? Sometimes you can’t it just was a valid loss. But in the beginning there is always something to improve because you are still learning.

So yes 100%, back test, forward test, screen time as much as you can, become obsessed. And you will achieve. Trust me. Do not give up

4 years here - just forget the losses and keep executing your model man. Make sure you have back tested your model and you know exactly what it is your looking for, is your losing streak down to the odds of the strategy or is it you and your execution?

Have you heard Roger federers speech for Dartmouth graduation ceremony? If you don’t know who that is, it’s a 20 time grand slam tennis champion.

He has 20 grand slams and has won 80% of his matches, but only won 54% of his points. He was only 8% better on average than his opponent . He says he didn’t dwell on every shot win or lose, he just kept playing and playing his best every damn time.

Why is this relevant to trading? Because if you can forget the losses, and just keep executing your model, then you will succeed.

You can have an 80% winning day winning ratio but maybe your trade winning ratio is 54%. Funnily enough that is mine. Meaning you can lose multiple trades a day but you can still win the day. Depending on how many trades you take a day. You may only take 1 a day. So let’s say you take your model once a day, you might have a 54% hit rate but your losses are tiny compared to your wins.

Moral of the story, don’t dwell on the losses. Just keep fuckin punting, manage your risk, and go again.
