Episode notes
From Bulgarian Bull Run To U.S. Trading
- Ivaylo Ivanhoff started trading in Bulgaria during a massive emerging-markets bull run and grew his account with buy-and-hold gains.
- He later moved to the U.S. in 2005, opened a trading account, and transitioned into active trading while learning from investing publications.
Size Positions By Capital-At-Risk
- Risk a defined fraction of capital per trade based on capital-at-risk, not position size alone.
- Ivanhoff typically risks between 0.25% and 1% of capital per position depending on setup and market environment.
Capture The Rare Moving Days
- Swing trading targets the 15–20% of days when most stock movement occurs instead of the 80% range-bound days.
- Ivanhoff holds most swing trades three to ten days to capture those concentrated moves.
