Superb presentation, such a "needy" subject, one of the most important in trading, thanks to Anish, Richard and Traderlion, both of your channels are pure gold.
Thank you for this. I am a trend trader and noticed consolidation kills portfolios. Three box breakouts historically sets the trend but again consolidation kills portfolios. I then turned to the 5 and 8 MA crossover on the 4h but again consolidation kills portfolios. Noticed position sizing helps greatly and found this best discussion on the topic. Time to be a pro now. Patience is key.
Richard, this is nuts again, thks a lot! Any chance to share/upload the slides as it is really tough to read? Would be happy to go through the slides by myself again. Thanks 🙏
started out easy to follow and simple. Got a bit involved after that. Lost interest. Took away from it the idea to have 4 trades at once. Something I have been wondering about lately. thanks.
If you had a 7% stop per position - regardless of how many positions, you could only actually have about 10% of your entire account invested - which would equal about 1% total capital at risk.
This is pretty helpful in my opinion. I have always had issues with sizing my trades. I am always all over the place with size. I do take the stock volatility in consideration though which can save your ass many times but limits my gain. Pretty impressive especially since he is working a full time job on top of it. I work full time but I am home by 1:30 East coast. So I have more time to make my changes. I guess since he already knows his stop makes it doable but I don’t like leaving stop orders in the market but I set a alert.
Thanks Richard and Anish, amazing video. I am curious on your stop limit orders, especially if you place them after-hours, if you separate the activation price and the limit price just in case there is a large gap down where the activation price is triggered but the new limit order doesn’t get filled. Brokers like TD Ameritrade have this
Anish it is wonderful video .... i enjoyed the learning i am sure trading cost involves in making trades so how much is total frictional loss of earned apart from taxes
Hi, how do you increase your exposure on a stock if you are only allowed to sell 3 days after buying (T+3) ? I am trading in the Vietnam stock market and my stocks are locked for 3 days.
nice work once again , i sore there was a link to download the spead sheet journal , i went back throught trader lion and your twitter richard and cant find the link does anyone know where i can find it please
What if you are getting gains/good batting average but not hitting your goal of say 7% but hitting less, do you still increase your size? Also if your getting small wins and less than full stop outs, won,t this affect your average gain? Thanks,
Lots of golden nuggets! Great lessons. Thank you! Love Minervini's books. Especially the risk management and position sizing chapters, but this really put it into practice.
Love the guy, keep it simple, don't try to be a genius, manage your risks and suck it up when you start being an hero and it doesn't go your way. Top 3 trading video I ever watched, so many golden nuggets
Never understood the reasoning to keep your stop at a max of 8-10%. If a smaller stock moves 10-15% per day then why should your stop be capped to 8-10%? Different way of risk management I guess. My position sizes are determined based on my stop loss and % risk of equity: 0.25-1.3%. I don’t do it based on fixed sizes like Anish. Super appreciate the video still. I’ll be doing a deep dive based on this method.
Thanks for this great interview. One question about position sizing: does it includes pyramiding or always it is only one trade (it looks like). Please confirm
his position sizing is way too aggressive for a beginner like me lol. he trades more than 50% of his account in a single trade sometimes, even with a risk mgmt i cant handle the pressure like that XD
Great Video! What does he mean exactly bei max 1,25 or 2,5% risk on Equity? Total Risk of all open positions? or risk per position? could you have 4 open positons by 1,25% with an total open risk of 6%?
Stocks zigzag so thing with increasing size whilst getting traction is by the time you are trading big the trading cycle ends and you get a correction or a pullback at the very lea st. This results in winning small and losing big. Don't ask me how I know though hahaha
8:30 He's saying you can have 4 positions of 25% each... but that would mean you're 100% invested, you'd have a stop of 1% per position if your max loss can only be 1% (or actually less, when you factor in trading fees) of the account.
1% total portfolio risk per trade. If you add new risk after moving your stop to breakeven on a prior trade you can keep a smaller open principle risk while still sizing your account 100%+ invested.
There is a contradictory thing here which is bothering me. Anish mentions he won't risk more than 2.5% equity (at overall level). Same rule is given by mark and shahid saleem (in the podcast richard took) that more than 1.25%-2.5% should not be risked on per trade basis (not overall). So if we have 4 positions with 1.25% as Equity at Risk then total EAR 5% (more than 2.5%)
Suppose you set stop loss of your total equiity as 1.25% and accordingly set 5% stop loss for one position of 25%. What if you have four 25% positions and all the stop loss get hit in one day , as stocks are highly correlated, which make the total loss 5% of your equity?
This is very informative. My only thought / concern is the overheads due to the amount of commission charged and stamp duty paid (I'm an UK resident so pay 0.5% per £1k)..

Progressive exposure! If current trades are working you can reduce risk in those trades to make room for more.
Great presentation👏
Thanks for watching Chubby!
Fantabulous video. Thank you very much.

This is fantastic.
Thank you!
If you had a 7% stop per position - regardless of how many positions, you could only actually have about 10% of your entire account invested - which would equal about 1% total capital at risk.

Hey there, Where can i find the position sizing spreadsheet discussed in the video?
It’s on our blog
@@tomato778 We've moved away from blog and crated a position size calculator as part of our website: traderlion.com/position-size-calculator/
What if you are getting gains/good batting average but not hitting your goal of say 7% but hitting less, do you still increase your size? Also if your getting small wins and less than full stop outs, won,t this affect your average gain?

awesome thanks you

I saw Minervini's books at the beginning and I already knew the video would be legit
Ha! Yes
Thanks for clearing my doubts
his position sizing is way too aggressive for a beginner like me lol. he trades more than 50% of his account in a single trade sometimes, even with a risk mgmt i cant handle the pressure like that XD
I see no heuristic here…no trades go clean 10% win or 3% loss…. they usually goes in different scale…all percentage might be OK!
Not sure I follow. There is always wiggles during a move but the 10%/3% for trading should be when the trade closed.
Thank you Traderlion team, Richard, Anish for this video. Lot of learning. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
@@TraderLion can you provide the excel sheet and presentation if possible?
