ADVICE

Stop Valuation

  • Determine a stop price based on when your initial trade thesis is invalidated, considering volatility and market events.
  • Don't place stops too tight or too far out, and factor in adequate time for the trade to develop.
ADVICE

Position Sizing and Risk Capital

  • Base your position size on your stop loss and total risk capital.
  • Risk a small percentage of your capital per trade to stay in the game long-term.
ADVICE

Averaging Down

  • Never add to a losing position, as it can lead to catastrophic losses.
  • Averaging down can create a terrible cycle of biased decision-making.
