Risk management is important. It makes you the money, and keeps you out of the poor house. Through it, you control your maximum drawdown (or not).

The amount you should risk is directly dependent on the distribution of your trade results, wins & losses. Use Monte Carlo to investigate.

Do you reckon this is why we keep having regular financial crises? The models are wrong?

Crises are more extreme and more frequent than economists seem able to predict. Mandelbrot was onto it.

Here's something we took note of ages ago:

Yep. Truth.

Use Monte Carlo to investigate your future trading career range of outcomes - especially use it for how you approach risk management.

The universe of your potential future outcomes will surprise you. It did for us.

You can't avoid losses as a trader. But you need to keep them as small as you can.
December 11, 2025 at 9:25 PM
You need bigger profits but losses as small as you can manage. You need asymmetry. Many old time traders mention this.

How do you set the amount you risk on each trade?

Ed Seykota had some good advice in "Market Wizards" by Jack Schwager on this.

You should pay it some heed. Perhaps it'd be best to model it using Monte Carlo to define how much.

Ain't that the truth.

From the Trading Coach, Chris Shea.

Perhaps you could take a chunk of your historical trade results, then do some modelling to create a risk management system to match.

Use Monte Carlo.

The population of your future trades can tell you a lot of what TO do, and NOT to do.

Be careful who you let into your head. You may not want to import other traders' beliefs and cognitive biases into yours.

"I try to keep very conscious of the idea that I have to listen to myself".

Good advice.

Keep in mind that the 8 inches between your ears is the most important thing you bring to trading, and potentially the worst too. Beliefs matter. Cognitive biases too.....

As traders we should try to be positioned on the right side of the market when it goes parabolic. Parabolic moves are rare, less frequent events, but they can make a big contribution to the pie.

And don't stay on the wrong side of them. Without a protective stop financial ruin may result.

Don't forget your trades must be asymmetric:
November 23, 2025 at 10:21 PM
Close the curtains. Turn off the news. Close down your social media apps. Then trade - free of external bias and influence - and avoid the experts who are normally wrong or too late to the party.

Be independent.

Good advice👇

Trade small to survive.

And trade less, being more selective.

So, what's your trading plan have written down about the maximum number of positions you should have open at any one time.

Chris Shea, the trading coach, recommends a maximum of between 5 and 9. Good advice. 👇

For traders, we must always define our risk on every trade. It's where we put our protective stop.

🌟 Always quantify your risk.
🌟 Always have a protective stop in the market good till cancelled.

Keep your losses as small as possible.

William O'Neil thinks so too.

It IS simple. And truth 👇

Beware of leverage.

Do you use it when allocating % risk to your trades. It may not be a good idea.....

It didn't work out for LTCM.

How do you handle your losing streaks?

What's that trading plan of yours say?

Good advice from a wizard - trade smaller - don't do the opposite! 👇
