coach what you think about raising position size after every second pull back and raising risk/reward ratio to let winner run on high risk for the third pull back?
I agree with you. Let's also not forget that you need to be able to stop in time, so as not to lose everything. It is good that there are various tools for this on online exchanges. At https://tabtrader.com/academy/articles/trailing-stop-order, you can find more detailed information about such tools, which help traders.
As a trader, you may lose money if you have unrealistic return on investment expectations, irrespective of the asset you purchase. Always remember a reasonable return rate is subject to factors like inflation. Although the risk is high in trading stocks, the chances of a good return are high.

woow men you're amazing .
love your podcast but strongly disagree with you on this one. Your intelligence is in your ability to break down the complexity of trading but here you've oversimplified. For example I trade GJ and gold intraday. For GJ I look at GU and Audjpy and will keep an eye on Eurgbp. I only buy at support if GU and Audjpy are at support. There are two simple overrides to this filter: 1) Audjpy is at support but GU is below but DXY is up 30 basis points on the day or more 2) The ECB has said something big, neither GU or Audjpy correlate but EG is at resistance. Two fairly simple quantifiable instances that override my trading plan. As for the correlation there is a clear edge stasticallt with GJ in looking at Audjpy and GU in London and NY. Keep up great work!
Not overall impress on how the Podcaster answered their listeners' path to financial freedom. There are some gems of acknowledge in what he had said, but the gems are a bit of a ruff cut. I, myself, is in the same boat. What I have learned is that I 1st needed was some financial literacy (1 of the ruff cut gems). 2nd) was to work Xtra jobs (I had 3 part time gigs & still some side hustle gigs as well. Working 6-7days pending on what I had lined up) for well over 3 yrs. to fund my accounts. One of the draw backs was didn't have time to do other of my responsibilities (for the same length of time) And 3rd thing) No Going Out!!! For me this was tough. I'm a barfly & a bit of a Social butterfly. That got me living in a car during my 29th B-day month. Smooth ain't it. Also during this time, I would try to study/ try to watch the training videos and also try not to fall asleep from exhaustion. Then I realized I needed to change my schedule. When I study and when I work. Still
Thanks Akil. I think I just had that attitude the other day towards my GF after a trade didn't work out. And I was papertrading even.
From what I have learned in my 52yrs of life, as much they think it was sound advice. It was more negatively than actually supporting him. He has already put some time in studying/ get the right mindset to handle the trading situation. It didn't sound like a Robinhood trader who has just a "YOLO" attitude
having passion for me is something that hooks me. Wanting to do that & that thing only.
this episode was helpful in knowing where I am and where I need to go.

I'm living in my 50's trying not to work so Hard. still juggling 3 jobs.
why do you think that Dave Ramsey has done so well.
Woodrow Wilson is the start of keeping the "people as uneducated as possible." He had made a point of saying this remark
Be aware that Akil doesn't always give out the answer to the question he asked of his students
