As a futures trader myself, I watch your videos and they are so helpful, great and professional. Thanks Mark.

[jeffnovak]

Thanks Mark. You always give good advice. I'll definitely rewatch this video again. Trading metrics are important to understand and to often overlooked by traders.

[eliyahmuhammad]

I had to watch 7 times to begin to understand thank you 100%

Great deal of critical information a trader need to know to be profitable. Well done... This helped me determine how much I need to reel in my initial profit target to increase my win rate so I can figure out a better balance.

[TheWhiteKnight]

Good into. Might want to take your camera off auto-exposure tho.

Technically it is a reward to risk ratio but I understand what you mean.

What do you think of a strategy that risks 2% of the account. My mentor teached me a strategy for funded account that has over 60% of win rate but it risks 2% of the account. Im looking to take the 25k account and I think the max loss is 1500 and I gotta risk 500 dollars to get 500 dollars per trade. Does that make sense? Im starting to doubt a little bit on the strategy. How Im I gonna be profitable on the long run risking that amount? Its basically like 40% of risk of the EOD drawdown and almost 100% of the daily limit which is 550

amma try this and come account, 3%, 360per trade, 6 trades a day, if drawdown daily 20%, 2400. be back.

5 Tick stop loss?? That's the spread ... IF NOT ...a bank stepping in ....

wow 2-4 lot per $10000? So if you have a million account, you would use 200-400 lot? That's a lot of commission! Is this right? At lease trading stocks with a million dollar there's a limit to commissions amount.
