There are certain indicators, levels, or other ways you can increase your odds of being right >50%, but you'll never get significantly higher
You always hear people let your winners ride or cut your losers early. Easier said than done, right?
Well, it's a mathematical fact that implementing this will improve your trading profits
The math behind leaving runners on and cutting losers early 👇👇👇
There are certain indicators, levels, or other ways you can increase your odds of being right >50%, but you'll never get significantly higher
You HAVE to let your winners run and cut your losers early.
Example: you take 100 trades for $100. Winners win $10, losers lose $10. To profit, you need 51 winners (+$510) and 49 losers (-$490)
Example: you take 100 trades for $100. Winners win $20, losers lose $5. To profit, you need 21 winners (+$420) and 79 losers (-$395)
You can essentially lose 4 out of every 5 trades and still make money if you simply let your winners run and cut your losers
2:1 (winners run 20%, losers stopped out at 10%), you only need to win 34%
3:1, 26%
4:1, 21%
You decrease the # of trades you need to hit by having your winners outweigh your losers
1) Have a rule on your stop losses. Personally, every trade I enter I immediately set a STOP order for -10%
2) Have a target profit level for winners. For me, I like the 2:1 risk/reward so once a trade hits 20% profits, I start to scale out
So when my trade hits 20%, I scale out part of my position and move my stop order for the rest to 10% profits
Remember, YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-ENTER.
1) Your thesis of it breaking the level is no longer valid
2) If it breaks above the level again, you can just re-enter

And the lessons that I learned from them. \U0001f447https://t.co/NCwMM8SVYz
his content from the playlist start with "how to read stock charts". It's precise and on point and short enough for you to get through this week even if you did one video tonight .. I like his teaching method .. he's slow and very easy to understand
As for DD. It comes from many factors. Mainly the trading platform itself has updated news posted on the ticker you want to trade.

Really liking this website it has breakdown of the financials & summary of SEC filings. (con'd)
Also a whole bunch of other stuff that it focuses on the companies that you search. As for what I look for?
10-K & 10-Q.
Read 8Ks ..company updates
Also look to see if they did an recent Offerings (S-4 filings)
Also look to see S-3 filings for upcoming dilutions.
