Many of the slides and concepts are very close to what I learned when I was in MPA @markminervini R u ok with this plagiarism from these two novices who have no credibility in the field of investing as compared to you where you have more than 40 years of super performance?

Markets that trade below the 21SMA or 50SMA are inherently choppy, with gaps in either direction expected day to day. If we do get more large gap downs over the coming weeks, here are some guidelines to live by (especially if you have exposure on): — Gap downs are rare in strong stocks with solid setups, but they do happen. And here's the truth: They're the market's way of telling you your original trading thesis was wrong. — The real damage of gap downs isn't just to your account — it's what they do to your head. They trigger: → Anger ("This market is rigged!") → Revenge trading ("I'll make it back today!") → Frozen decision-making ("Maybe it'll bounce back?") All three lead to even BIGGER losses. — But here's how top level traders handle gap downs (which you can easily implement): They know their numbers. ∙Exactly how much $ they lost ∙What % of their portfolio it represents ∙How many winning trades it'll take to recover Emotions cloud judgment. Numbers bring clarity. Pro traders think in terms of "R-multiples" — how many times their initial risk they've won or lost. If you risked $500 (1R) and lose $1,500 on a gap down, that's -3R. Sounds bad, but if you're up +20R on the year, you can put that -3R in perspective. — NEVER rationalize after a gap down: ❌ "It's just a market overreaction" ❌ "The news wasn't that bad" ❌ "It'll probably bounce back today" These thoughts feel good in the moment but lead to much bigger losses. Cut the position and move on. — Think like a US Investing Champ. They get caught in downside gaps from time to time too. The difference? They know it's part of the game. They have a system to manage risk and recover: ∙They exit the position ∙They know their numbers ∙They trust their strategy over time — Next time you face a gap down: 1) Exit the position without hesitation 2) Calculate the exact impact on your portfolio 3) Step away from trading for the day 4) Return tomorrow with a clear head Protect your capital AND your confidence. 🦁

Most swing traders size off a daily chart stop. That wide stop forces a small position to keep risk in check. Shake drops to the 30-minute chart for the entry. The stop tightens, and the math allows three times the shares on the identical risk budget. Same trade idea, same dollar risk — the only difference is where you measured your stop.

Trimming 10% - 30% of your $PLTR position at this point (if you are sitting on big gains) is smart. Risk management matters, and it has 0 to do with timing the market.

Tighten the stop, size up. That isn't aggressive risk-taking; it's the actual math of R-multiple position sizing. Brian Shannon walks through it on TraderLion. The originator of Anchored VWAP and a 35-year professional trader breaks down how a $100K account with $1,000 max risk gets 4,000 shares on a 25-cent stop and only 1,000 shares on a one-dollar stop. His honesty test: is your tight stop a real higher low, or a number you picked so you can size up?

One of the main reasons why traders blow up accounts and cannot learn from their mistakes to be successful at it. Only 3/10 traders make it in trading and these emotions are the main reason. It is not market manipulation. It is not the overnight news. It is rather the risk management that is associated and toed to their emotions. #tranding #trader #psychology #optionstrading #tradeideaoftheweek

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: When asked about how 3:15 PM cutoffs and closing auction price spreads are disrupting his algorithmic hedging and intraday risk management, with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) confirming Closing Auction Session (CAS) is permanent, Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities, says, "...If we go through with the CAS-related issues which are giving some kind of uneasiness for option traders... this time option traders, they are mainly affected. The reason is that between this time gap, the prices change a lot, and because of that, most of the time on the day of expiry, especially on the day of expiry, it actually impacts option traders, those who are like writers. Broadly, we are of the view that at present SEBI is holding a lot of meetings with brokers, traders, algo traders, and they are designing their framework... they are ready to make changes as per the difficulties which traders are facing... broadly, I am of the view that it may take some time, but in the next maybe 1-2 months, definitely something will come out concrete, and based on that, again, we can see normalisation in the market... till then, option traders, especially writers or those who are using algorithms, they are trying to stay away from the market because of which volatility has also come down sharply in the market. You can see the market is falling gradually, but at the same time, intraday volatility is very low. Even if we consider Volatility Index (VIX), India's VIX index, that is also close to 11 or maybe 11.5 sort of levels, which is the lowest... it means that option traders are not active in this market. That is why I am of the view that it will take some time to come to normalcy. But eventually, definitely, we will come out with something that will help traders, option traders, I mean to say, in terms of managing their risk. It's not that they can increase their volume and all because our government is primarily focusing on controlling this particular speculative activity... they are trying to control that, and maybe because of that, I think they will come out with something which is very balanced."

Why do you even move your stop to breakeven? Are you a gay ?? Is it part of your strategy or just fear of losing? Most traders rush to breakeven so they can feel safe or trade “risk-free”… but what is trading without risk? Breakeven doesn’t make you disciplined a solid setup and proper risk management does. Moving to BE too fast often kills good trades before they play out. If you trust your analysis, let the trade breathe. Real discipline is accepting calculated risk, not running away from it. My own opinion thou

Mastering the math of position sizing by capping initial risk at exactly 0.4% to 0.5% is the key to executing stress-free add-on buys. Marios Stamatoudis, a disciplined breakout trader known for his strict mathematical approach to risk management, details his precise framework for scaling into winning stocks. By taking strategic early partial profits, traders completely neutralize their initial downside and create the opportunity for a free-roll add, effectively using the market's money to finance a much larger position. Keep risk mathematically small at the initial entry so you can safely bet big when the primary trend is entirely in your favor.

I’ve built an order execution tool specifically for IB users. The open-source code is available on GitHub, but since most traders probably prefer something simple and ready to use, I also made an executable (.exe) version and uploaded it to Google Drive. This order execution tool can automatically retrieve your account balance and calculate position size based on your specified risk %. You can choose to set the stop loss at the LOD (low of the day) or enter it manually. The tool automatically places stop orders according to your stop level, one stop or 3 stops Why three stop orders? You can refer to Jeff Sun, CFTe Jeff Sun’s article for the reasoning behind this risk management approach. It also comes with customizable hotkeys for quick and efficient order placement. In the demo video, I used a virtual keyboard to show you how it works in real time. Lastly, this tool is completely free to use. If you find it helpful, you’re welcome to buy me a coffee — your support is what keeps me motivated to keep improving and adding new features. I’ve recorded a demo video showing how to set it up and use it — it’s already posted on X for reference. Github: Googledrive:
