[Don’t use a fixed position size, do this instead…]

Most traders are fascinated with technical analysis, candlestick patterns, trading indicators, etc.

When you see “something” nice, you quickly hit the buy button without giving much thought to your position size—which is a big mistake.

Why?

Because without proper position sizing, your wins and losses are erratic.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say you buy 1 standard lot of EUR/USD with a stop loss of 20 pips.

How much could you lose?

Well, it’s a potential loss of $200 (20 x $10/pip).

Now, what if you have 100 pips stop loss?

It’s a potential loss of $1000 (100 x $10/pip).

You might be thinking:

“My stop loss in terms of pips will be the same.”

“This way, I can keep my losses constant on each trade.”

That is possible but…

What if you trade a different timeframe where it doesn’t make sense to use the same number of pips as your stop loss? (E.g. A 20 pips stop loss might work on the 5-minutes timeframe but not on the daily.)

Or what if you trade a different currency pair with a different pip value?

Do you see my point?

So the lesson is this…

The size of your losses should be the same for each trade.

But your position size should be adjusted according to the size of your stop loss.

A tighter stop loss allows you to increase your position size.

A wider stop loss requires a smaller position size.

[If you’re a newbie trader, avoid this habit of averaging into losses]

Imagine:

You bought 1 lot of EUR/USD at 1.3000.

Shortly, the price dropped 50 pips and you’re down $500.

Now you’re thinking to yourself…

“I knew it, the market is out to get me again.”

“But wait… if I buy another 1 lot of EUR/USD, then I can quickly get out at breakeven if the price moves up 25 pips.”

“I’m a genius!”

So…

You buy another lot of EUR/USD at 1.2950.

Next thing you know, EUR/USD tanked 100 pips—which puts you at a loss of $3,500.

In other words…

If you had cut your loss from the start, it would have only been a loss of $500.

But because you gave in to your emotions and averaged into your losses, it grew into a $3,500 loss.

So the lesson is this:

If the market proves you wrong, get out of the trade.

Don’t average into your losers because it could snowball into something near impossible to recover from.

Don't take losses personally because the market has nothing against you.

It doesn’t know who you are, what you do, or why you traded.

Instead, it’s an opportunity to learn what works and what doesn't, so you can become a better trader.

[It sucks, but just let the price hit your stop loss]

Imagine:

You buy 1 standard lot of GBP/USD at 1.4300 and have a stop loss at 1.4250.

This means if the price drops to 1.4250, you will exit the trade for a loss of $500 (or 50 pips).

Now, this is fine if you allow your stop loss to do its job.

However, you might be thinking…

“I know the market is about to rebound.”

“I’ll look like an idiot if I were to sell right now and only to watch the market reverse higher.”

“Let me hold on to the trade for a while longer and sell at the next rally.”

And what happens next?

The market collapsed another 500 pips.

Eventually, the pain is too much to bear and you forced yourself to exit your position.

And because of your hesitation, a $500 loss amplified into $5,500.

So, the bottom line is this…

Honour your stop loss.

It’s there to protect your trading account even though it’ll make you look like a fool once in a while.

You can make money on poor decisions and lose money on good decisions.

Instead, focus on the process.

Trade with an edge. Execute your trades consistently. And have proper risk management.

[Make it painful to not follow your trading plan]

Here’s the thing:

Just because you have a trading plan doesn’t mean you won’t have itchy fingers.

Because you might lack the discipline to follow your trading plan even though it’s good for you.

(Kind of like how you don’t eat enough vegetables even though you know it’s good for you.)

The solution?

Be accountable to someone. It could be your spouse, a friend, or someone you trust.

Let them know whenever you deviate from your trading plan, you’ll be penalized.

The penalty could be something like:

–$50 donation to your favourite charity
–Wash the toilets for a week
–Do 100 push-ups

You want to make sure the pain of not following your trading plan is greater than following it.

This way, the mind gravitates toward the least amount of pain which is to follow your trading plan.

This means your actions become consistent and you get consistent results.

[Don’t trade based on other people’s opinions]

Today…

There’s a ton of information on Twitter, Facebook, trading forums, etc.

The problem is…

It doesn’t make you a better trade, far from it.

Here’s an example. Imagine…

Someone posts a chart on Tesla and explains why he is bullish on it.

Next, there are 100 thumbs up and a flood of comments agreeing with the analysis.

So you quickly buy the stock of Tesla hoping to make a quick profit out of it.

Now here comes the critical part…

What if the price of Tesla drops 30%?

Do you sell, hold, or buy even more?

You don’t know because you’re trading based on the opinion of someone else.

You might be wondering:

“Well, I’ll just ask the original poster for an update on Tesla.”

Then one of these will likely happen…

–He sold his position for a small profit and you didn’t know about it
–He sold his position for a small loss but you’re still holding the stock
–He doesn’t reply to you

Either way, you’re on the losing end.

Do you see what I mean?

So, never trade based on the opinions of others.

They won’t tell you how long they plan to hold the trade, when to cut loss, or when to take profit.

Instead, you must have your own trading system that tells you when exactly to buy or sell. This way, you’ll never be at the mercy of others again.
