yes I got a great webinar called the

00:11
night have become part of the nine
00:12
percent and on nine to one percent
00:14
losing spread betting and you've got to
00:18
well there are so many things you would
00:21
need to do to become part of the nine
00:23
percent if it were that easy everyone
00:25
would be part of it and there's a lot of
00:26
intelligent people making a part of the
00:28
ninety-one percent and in fact you will
00:31
always vessel eight you'll be in the top
00:34
one and your occasion you'll be outside
00:35
the nine percent for what you do need to
00:37
do is you need to potentially decide on
00:40
a strategy that looks after all elements
00:43
of money management and we've discussed
00:45
the risk reward we've discussed losses
00:47
you've got to manage losses that keeps
00:49
you in the game you've got to make
00:51
you've got to believe you have a system
00:53
that'll make more than it gives back on
00:54
its winning it will win and will lose
00:57
all the time no one is ever going to
00:59
have a hundred percent so accept that
01:00
losses are part the game and manage that
01:03
become a systemic as possible in
01:05
determining what your setup is so the
01:09
mode can be reduced to logic the better
01:11
and the tighter and then you need to
01:16
stick to the system as systemically as
01:18
possible as well which most people are
01:20
incapable of with emotions particularly
01:22
after say three losses
01:23
you'll be snake bite fearful when after
01:26
three wins you'll be piling on twice the
01:28
size and that'll be the one that will
01:30
lose and give back all of those three
01:31
wins and some so that's we're focusing
01:35
on if you had to develop a black box
01:37
system is not a bad process for defining
01:41
your strategy and that which you find
01:45
interesting observing charts a lot of
01:47
observation a lot of drawing of charts
01:49
and a lot of use of patterns patterns
01:53
are probably the most powerful technical
01:55
analysis tool for me outside of the
01:58
larger trend our Theory some training
02:03
mistakes to avoid
02:06
most of most say trading mistakes made
02:08
by beginners even intermediates and
02:10
occasionally even advanced people when
02:12
they lose their heads is to do with
02:14
trade sizing so that they take a loss
02:18
too big there's nothing there's no
02:21
damage done in taking your managed loss
02:23
that's part of the game and being wrong
02:25
the problem is that recovery ladder when
02:28
you then emotionally negatively respond
02:31
to taking an already slightly bigger
02:33
loss so let's say you lose fifteen or
02:36
twenty percent and then you think damn I
02:38
want to get back to where I was so I
02:39
need to make 25 percent so I'll trade
02:41
bigger again I'm sure I'm right this
02:43
time you can't cope with the mental it's
02:47
like a mental cognizance dissonance
02:51
cognitive dissonance that makes you need
02:53
to get back to where you once were but
02:55
you're now seeing yourself as the lesser
02:57
self what as dictated by this balance
02:59
and that then pressurizes you into
03:01
trading bigger again on what looks like
03:04
a sure thing but now you punch-drunk
03:06
because you must find an opportunity
03:08
quickly and it's not a sure thing it's
03:10
the first thing you grab hold of that
03:13
best represents a possible trade so
03:15
you've been bastardizing your criteria
03:18
to grab hold of something that you
03:19
expect to leverage you back in to where
03:21
you once were this is a very big fatal
03:23
spiral because once again you're in over
03:26
trade because you've got to make back
03:27
more to get back up and that's the
03:29
recovery ladder concept and boom that's
03:32
that is probably the single most
03:34
destructive that sees someone have a
03:36
10,000 pound account reduced to you know
03:38
a few hundred or a thousand pound and
03:40
then virtually giving up realizing that
03:41
they've they've blown it sighs I
03:49
wouldn't say ninety one percent are in
03:51
that category they don't all blow their
03:53
accounts up from ten thousand pounds
03:54
down to nine but there aren't possibly
03:57
consistent with money management as a
03:59
whole and the sizing is one element of
04:02
money management don't forget I said
04:04
risk reward should be central to that as
04:07
well so they're taking trades that
04:08
aren't worth the squeeze the juices in
04:10
the worth the squeeze and the
04:12
probability of win rates they have
04:13
intestines what likelihood are they I
04:16
have of winning to tighter stop
04:18
something else I've mentioned
04:20
all of those things all fall under the
04:22
larger money management cluster and
04:25
those are all key so do you agree with
04:29
this statement the only way to make
04:31
money is slowly and steadily over time
04:33
not trading for 80 indices commodities
04:35
excessive is there a giant casino no I
04:40
wouldn't agree with that statement at
04:41
all those those underlying markets can
04:45
be traded profitably on a consistent
04:48
basis
04:48
there isn't an efficient markets
04:50
hypothesis that truly keeps everything
04:52
at the true value you anything that
04:55
involves people will have reactions and
04:57
/ reactions and under reactions so no I
05:01
think you can I think I wouldn't be in
05:03
the game if I didn't feel that there was
05:05
an edge that could be taken
05:14

  1. Risk reward, manage loss, system you believe, more logic better;
  2. Blackbox system?
  3. Observe charts - used patterns - powerful analysis
  4. Trade mistakes to avoid
Beginner -> intermediate -> trade size - loss too big
For example, 15% loss, and then take big bet - mental cognitive dissonance
pressure -> big again -> punch drunk

Probability win rewards -?
large management - ?

giant casino - underline market - efficient - true value - reactions all over - edges to be taken
