    4 Rules for Scaling into a Trade. www.financial-spread-betting.c... PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE! How to Scale In to Positions. Scaling into a trade; what is it and what are my 4 golden rules for doing it? I like scaling into positions but I also like scaling out of trades. The benefit of scaling into a trade is that when you know you have a good opportunity to take a trade; you either go all in at a particular price in which case you need to have a stop point due to risk management and sometimes that's the right way to go OR you can scale into a trade and we'll explain the process of scaling into trades in this video.
    How to Scale Into Winning Trades:
    1) Define your zone - this is the area where you're still keen on buying that stock or forex pair or index..etc
    2) Plan your sizing. You either do standard same position sizing all the way down or you do a variation of that perhaps start big at the beginning and smaller size towards the end or vice-versa.
    3) Ignore price behaviour. I've struggled with this a lot especially with day trading. When I scaled in I would be so focused on my price behaviour that I would try to second guess the next scale. You just have to be committed to your trading plan.
    4) Be strict with your stop. This is another big one because things can get nasty quickly when scaling in.
    Do you scale into a position when trading, if so, how do you decide how much to scale at each entry?

    I have started implementing this into my strategy, I put an initial trade in for a really small position and once it starts going into my favour I add the whole lot.

  • @katebermudez3252
    @katebermudez3252 3 года назад +2

    Perfectly explained sir! My personal strategy if I like a stock or what not is to have the continuous "runner amount" that I initially buy at what I believe to be a good entry point. Any price action lower than the original entry I search for good spots of support to add some size in to #1 Average down the original position and then as the price bounces upward even the smallest move I remove the extra exposure of size that I had added to average down. This does two things, #1 averages down my entire position of runners, and also makes me a quick buck on the extra sizing I scalped with.
    Rinse AND Repeat continuously chasing the price down averaging down until it finally is done descending and rips. Then I let the runners run :)
    Scaling out as it gets to my target.

  • @Max0r847
    @Max0r847 4 года назад +4

    The biggest thing I've been working on lately is testing entry techniques. I believe there are two main places to add: coming in to a level, and confirmation. The first is to both avoid missing a trade and have a better average price. The second is to add exposure once the move looks to be happening. By the same token, I believe all the pieces added on confirmation should be taken off if confirmation is violated. Essentially each piece, providing spread/fees aren't too big of a thing, should have a relatively tight stop relative to it in order to avoid excess exposure to adverse range. Obviously this needs to be done well to avoid getting chopped up, and this would come down to just getting better at one's own technical analysis and techniques and such. If it's too expensive to get in and out, and more risk is required to avoid a shakeout, obviously smaller size is required. There are advantages and disadvantages to having a stronger or weaker handed position or bits of position.

    From my experience, scaling is very successful with starting small to large on a 15/30/hour/4 hour chart. It's hard to know how much the vehicle will stretch.

    I normally explain this using s pattern like a triangle or flag. U identify the pattern as its forming and place first entry on the other side of the structure, then add if/when it breaks out. If the break is fake the pattern get busted u still get out withoit a loss.

  • @kikowhitney
    @kikowhitney 6 лет назад +4

    fantastic....extremely helpful. Your #3 not easy to do....but I agree with you there. I do it with "fear and trembling" but I gotta do it to stay in the "ball game". The movement of price stays in a range most of the time anyway...But of course if there is a very big red candle that suddenly pierces the bottom, then I cannot ignore price behaviour. At that point I get stricter with the stop loss. Thanks. Very helpful

  • @mothw.9620
    @mothw.9620 3 года назад

    This is very valuable advice. Traders are adding to loosing positions and end up with large size on loosing trades. Yet if the trade goes your way on the initial entry, your winning trade is a fraction size. Mathematically a loosing game.

    @richardthorne2804 3 года назад +1

    Awesome video. I scalp using a structured average down strategy but you have to define your zone and size and then cut the trade like he says once the trade fails completely. I am green 90% of the time b/c I scalp gains immediately, however, small gains can be eliminated with one bad trade using this strategy so need to follow the rules in this video to reduce losses. Great video.

  • @foshizzle499
    @foshizzle499 Год назад +1

    Ignoring price behavior once I have my entry is my biggest hurdle right now. Over 2 years of trade data shows me that I correctly identify "the zone" around 70% of the time. However I let little blips and random volatility make me second guess myself. I also try and snipe my entries because the r/r I get is enticing. Maybe scaling is the answer.

    As long as your planned position size is split up in pieces it actually reduces risk.. You can have a SL so it can breathe ánd position 2 , 3 , 4 actually have less to SL

    This seems backwards to me. Take a small positions at first because you can never be sure. Then if it goes the wrong way you lose very little and could even exit early to further minimize the lose. Only scale in if the trade is going the right direction. Then scale out as the position improves to lock in profits or use trailing stops.

    Yes. Not familiar with your channel, but there's no way to overemphasize how superior the strategy in this vid is, compared to almost anything else out there. This probably goes about 90% of the way to fixing so many issues that traders seem to have, especially in today's environment of scam artists selling expensive courses to beginners who don't know any better.

      @@ukspreadbetting Cool....yeah, the overcomplication of and confusion about trading out there is something that bothers me and I imagine many others out there. You don't see this in poker for example. Not sure but besides obfuscation for marketing purposes, I'm guessing it has something to do with widespread access to charts on screens being at least a relatively new thing. IDK...good going though :)
