💥 The Truth About Trading. 🚀 Can You Double Fast?. In this video Mark emphasizes the importance of setting realistic expectations in trading, warning against expecting quick riches, especially when starting with a small account.

💡 Mastering Trading: Why Realistic Expectations Matter 🧠

Achieving significant profits with a small investment, like a £1,000 account, often involves high risk, which can lead to significant losses or even the complete depletion of the account.

💰 The Risk-Reward Reality in Trading: What You Need to Know 🛑

Mark advises traders to understand the balance between risk and reward, recognizing that increasing potential returns typically requires taking on greater risk, which could result in substantial losses.

🚨 Trading for Profits? Beware of the Risks! ⚖️

Beginners should focus on learning the craft of trading with small amounts of money to avoid catastrophic losses, as trading success requires skill and strategy, not just luck.

Mark notes that account growth in trading is non-linear, involving periods of gains, consolidations, and drawdowns due to changing market conditions.

Ultimately, traders must decide whether to take a cautious approach to grow their account steadily over time or to take on more risk for potentially higher returns, understanding the potential consequences of each choice.

A good approach i set for myself is to focus on 1% risk per trade. If i end the month with 5%+ i add more capital to the account. If i make between 1-4% that month I don’t add capital. If i make multiple negative months i lower risk to 0, 5% risk per trade till i am profitable again for 2 months or more.

When entering the trading business you will have winners and losers. Not everyone will succeed. I succeeded within 1 year. Some people are just meant to be traders. Its a very, very, very difficult field. Not as easy as many think. My best advice paper trade for as long as it takes until you know your ready.

Because one you enter the LIVE market. You're a small fish swimming with hungry shark's ready to snatch your money and leave you for broke.

This here is a GROWN MANS game people.

i have decided to quite trading today after trading for about 3 and half years;

[Andreabay]

if you risk 1% and go for 1% and you take 5 trades a day, or 1300 trades a year, and win rate is 60% that's 0.2% a trade or 260% returns not counting for compounding, which will be more along the lines of 500-600% return on a year. 55% win rate is almost 200% compounded.


now realize that if you just take the best trades, you'll most likely be able to get 60% or maybe less sometimes but more R:R


what im saying is, its more about how good the trades you take are, not about whether you risk more than 1% on the account.

my problem is that I actually take a lot of decent trades, but the few losses that get big usually get way too big.

im going to try and focus more on the numbers and the setups because taking the best setups and avoiding the bad ones is literally already enough to do quite well.
