Band of Traders - Together We Trade “Can You Dynamically Size in The Moment?” - Roundtable
This week Fleri joins Baba Yaga and Bear Goes Long to discuss trade sizing and the factors that go into determining the appropriate size for a trade. The panel discuss different approaches, including analytical methods, gut feelings, and setup-based decisions. They also explore the concept of asymmetrical risk and how it can impact position sizing. The emotional aspect of trade sizing is highlighted, with the importance of maintaining mental capital and avoiding pressure-driven decisions. The conversation touches on the challenges of adding to positions and the impact of volatility and day type on position sizing. The participants also discuss the limitations and goals of prop trading and the importance of managing risk to ensure longevity in trading. The concept of tiered risk and adding to winning trades is also discussed, as well as the challenges of (responsibly) sizing up before wrapping things up with the Good, Bad, and Ugly, they each share their successes, challenges, and lessons learned from the past week!

Baba Yaga:
Solving problems, helping set goals, and refining processes is the bulk of Baba's passion. He does that in many contexts ranging from nonprofits to real estate firms and everything in between. He focuses on market structure through the lens of TPO charting and executes based on volume, misplaced large orders, and delta. He loves the opening range breakout and typically trades the market from the “inside out”.
Fleri:
Enter the world of trading with Fleri, a seasoned trader whose journey began in the early days of crypto exchanges and mid-cap stocks. Evolving over time, Fleri redirected his focus to futures and intraday trading, specifically honing his expertise in ES, NQ, RTY, CL, and UB. His approach is deeply rooted in Market Auction Theory, navigating the market by tracking participants through a nuanced blend of pattern recognition and the confluence of Price Action and Order Flow.
At the heart of Fleri's trading philosophy is a meticulous plan of execution, identifying areas for the auction to potentially seek value. Leveraging Order Flow and Price Action, he capitalizes on opportunities that present themselves throughout the trading day. Fleri is not just a trader; he's a dedicated educator, sharing his insights through podcasts, Twitter, and Discord to support fellow traders on their journeys.
What sets Fleri apart is not only his technical prowess but also his lighthearted approach and transparency about both past and current struggles. In the complex world of trading, Fleri brings not only expertise but also a relatable and open demeanor, creating a supportive environment for traders to learn and thrive.
Bear Goes Long:
Bear made the transition from investing to trading at the beginning of COVID. After initial success with options, he quickly learned that his luck was greater than his skill and shifted his focus to futures. Bear has fully embraced the role of emotions and mental capital with the mindset that trading futures is purely an internal struggle that rewards patience, calm, bravery, focus, passion, and commitment. Beyond markets Bear finds joy in his community as a volunteer firefighter and EMT.
