Are You Properly Managing Trading Risk?

Good morning, Daily Direction followers!

Friday has arrived! We’ve had a hectic trading week with lots of intriguing market action. We can now take a breather as we wrap up this week and prepare for the next.

Now’s a good time to look back on how we did this week and get ready for the next one. To do that, we can examine some of the key facts of our timeframe analysis strategy. And when it comes to that, I often get a lot of questions about risk management.

Anything involving money is risky by definition. That’s just a reality of life. However, because of the real potential of financial loss, trading may make many people nervous.

However, if you use the right strategy, you can mitigate the potential for loss and make sure you win more trades than you lose!

Continue reading to find out how to properly assess and manage risk while trading futures. It’s crucial information for your trading success!

Understanding Growth

A formula for growth is applied in futures trading. You’re not going to win every single trade, so you’re going to need a strategy. You must accept the reality that there is a risk you will lose some of your money when you enter a trade.

Trading is never viewed as simply one, two, three, or four trades. For you to have a better understanding of the formula, we’ll call ten trades “one block”. Keep in mind that you should always set a minimum of a 10-trade or one block when it comes to succeeding in trading. Placing ten or more trades will help you generate more profit.

Futures trading

The formula helps you to estimate the percentage that you’re going to lose or win on a single trade with a one-block minimum. For example, say that you win six blocks and you lose four. If you know that you’re going to be a 60% winner, you have to have a plan for this.

Risk Management

Let’s look at this from a different angle. Say that you see you’re going to win double the amount that you lose, or you’re trying to win $200 per trade.

By playing six trades, you’ll get $1,200. With the formula mentioned above, all you have to do is double, triple, quadruple, or add more to your initial trade to win more profit in the end.

So, for six trades, you might get $1,200, but you’ll lose $400. All in all, you’ll end up with a net gain of $800 for every ten trades.

Sell or Buy

What happens is this; if you start trading and immediately lose $200, you might think that the strategy is not working and give up. However, you’re going to prevent yourself from the $1800 net gain that the formula is supposed to give you. You have to understand how many times and how much you’re going to win and lose.

Now that you have the basic information to help you understand how to manage risk, it’s time to take the next step toward becoming a winning trader! You need to stop making excuses and move forward. You’re account won’t grow unless you make the trades, and I’m here to help.

Keep On Trading,

Mindset Advantage: Accept

It’s not the market. It’s not your indicator. It’s TRADING.

Let it go. The first step toward consistent profits comes when you accept the reality that losses will occur. Prices have a mind of their own at times. The institutions are at the wheel. The sooner you accept this, the more progress you’ll make.

Look at the past, but don’t stare. Accept what’s happened and move on.

Target tighter entries. Get the heck out of those losers you’re hanging on to.

Accept. And start to enjoy trading.
