How Do Retail & Institutional Traders Differ? | Secrets of the Institutional Trader | Part 1

In the first part of our 4 part presentation from Trevor Neil, he discusses how do retail and institutional traders differ. He shares the hard-hitting truths about what he's learnt in his career, and how to overcome these hurdles.

Trevor tells us why it's important to start small and why our trading experience, including losses, is vital to learning and improving as a trader. He discusses prop traders and their aggressive trading tactics with large amounts of capital, and why retail shouldn't follow the same methods.

Recession is often the result of external factors, and it appears that the United States is losing its grip as a federal reserve currency.
With a decreasing ability to control inflation and a reduction in stock and oil trading, it seems that a new multilateral world order is on the horizon

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?

Trade small to build your intuitive capabilities on the markets - it takes time with trading real money to build this. That's how I'd sum this wonderful session. Everyone should watch this, before they jump in on their first trade.

I have been doing Intraday Index trading from past 3 years and I stick to small position sizes. Although I don't make big money but I think being consistent while following proper risk management eventually would pay off in the long run. Trading in market definitely needs some good experience. It is not easy as many people believe it to be.
I think for beginners it is always advisable to trade with experts. Join someone who does live trading session and trade with small quantities.

I appreciate this video because it rings true in so many areas. Definitely better than the "buy my course and you could be rich too" stuff. This guy is like you're probably not going to get rich, you might lose all of your money, you might have to wait through months of loses to get that big WIN, the institutions have much more money than you and it is replenished if lost, but hey good luck to you. "Learning in this business is to lose money" - he is not lying!

That's why we need old people as young rookie trading crypto. They know the truth and we learn that in a painful way sometimes.

Like your video! What do you think about these: 1. FX Liquidity does not matter whether it is from closing a long or short position, it can be taken by MM/banker/any trader to open as a long or short position. Is this statement true or false? Please advise with detailed educational advice.
2. Because FX is a zero sum game, if the liquidity is worth USD$10.01m it cannot be taken one cent more or less it must be digested exactly with the same amount by the MM/banker/any trader. Is this statement true or false?

[siphomlambo]

wow, what a clear explanation the best that I have heard!!!

My Notes:

- Learning comes by losing money

- Do not put your entire savings account into your trading account; Only put small amount in (~10%) and then [honestly] see how long you can make that last without blowing it up...
-> Practice good capital management and only put 10-20% of your account into each position.
- After that 10% is gone, take another 10% and learn new mistakes from that small amount. Meanwhile you still have 80% of your original balance in your savings account to use later after you've learned some things.

[przemysawbrodzik]
