New System: Very Few High Risk Trades
So from now on I will follow the system(link) and I will add the below rules in addition to the system.
Rule 1: Don't swing at
every pitch
I learnt this from reading a book on Charlie Munger (link), we don't have
to be in the market all the time. The goal will be 10-15 traders a year. YES in one year!
For instance, the past month, everyone is speculating on the Brexit, but
we don't need to be involved because there is no educated guess on where this
is going.
Rule 2: Bet BIG!
I believe I learnt this from an interview with Sorros. Test your theory
with smaller positions, if it works, go BIG.
The system I have been using has been working for a while, losing
positions closing at stop loss. Therefore each trade size stop loss will be
15-20% of the entire account. The amount we earn will depend on where the
market is, but generally 1:1 risk reward is minimum.
Again there will be very few trades, and I expect them to be high
percentage(see rule 1), so I am comfortable with exposure.
Rule 3: Respect the
market
- Always respect the market, never move Stop Loss.
- Monitor every trade till it gets to green and TP moved to SL.
Rule 4: No correlated
bets
If we are betting against USD strength, no taking another bet with the
same consequence
GOLDEN RULE 5: No
Averaging
Averaging works people! It works till it
doesn't then you lose big.
