common

Money Management
1.
STOP LOSS: At what point will we close the trade if it goes against us?

One of biggest reasons amateurs fail – they DON’T USE stops or
incorrectly use them

Stops must be placed at levels where they are TECHNICALLY
SUPPORTED

i.e. behind a lower high in a down trend or below a higher low in an
up trend
2.
REWARD/RISK RATIO: How much are we willing to risk for the potential
profit.
3.
RISK MANAGEMENT: What percentage of our trading capital should be
risked on each trade.
17
The 1% Rule
•
Top traders risk a VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE of their trading capital on
any one trade
•
At TWP we never risk more than 1% of our account
 Example: $10,000 account size x 1% = $100 MAX RISK PER TRADE
•
The 1% rule means if stopped out our loss will be no more than $100 (1%
total assuming a $10k account)
“I'm always thinking about losing money as opposed to
making money. Don't focus on making money, focus on
protecting what you have”
- Paul Tudor Jones

Pointers for Winning The Trading Competition
 Have a risk management plan – it might not be 1% per trade in demo
account trading but one thing is for sure… the winner will have a plan to
reduce the downside (or be VERY lucky!)
 Take some profits as trades move in your direction to lock them in and
not let them become losers
 Add to positions if another trade sets up e.g. you have a sensible entry,
stop loss and target
 Pick charts that have higher timeframe trends e.g. daily, weekly and
monthly charts all with clear direction.
 Lets look at a few charts with clear direction to start off with…
