    I’m 50/50 with this guy. 2:1 RR is doable, but win rate might be in the 40%’s or even 30%. It depends on the trader and the market they trade.

      Yeah, right? I myself am a 2:1 with a 50-55% win rate. What matters is expectancy. Turtle traders can be positive with a 20% win rate. It's all about making the numbers work with your personality.

      He seems a no BS guy. 1:1 R:R with aiming for a Win rate of 60 percent. 100 trades gives you 20 R. He takes around 10 Trades / day * 22= 220 Trades per month, this gives you 44R per month with a low DD.

    My R/R is 1:Whatever. Whatever is whatever the market will give me. Leverage is _poison._ If you avoid it, you will become rich. Never _ever_ _ever_ _ever_ add to a losing trade no matter how badly you want to. Never. There is just no reason to ever do it. After all these, the ultimate rule above all is _STOP_ _TAKING_ _BAD_ _SETUPS._ Just stop taking them.

    I love this interview. Dnt agree with everything but some good points were made. I think as traders/entrepreneurs we should always keep an open mind when it comes to Different styles of trading and also risk management. To have a 1:1 RR on every trade(To me) is a waste of a edge. The whole point of having a 2:1 or 3:1 RR is to increase your odds of being consistently profitable. This means I could potentially have a 30% or 40% win rate and still be a profitable trader, which is good because trading profits are not linear you win big and you lose small. “Impossible”
    Is not a term that I use . 😅

    I disagree with so much said in this. You Can change your psychology through mindfulness practice and studies prove you can shrink your amygdala(emotional brain center) in just 8 weeks. Also we know from many resources good speculative traders(individuals not trading high tech algos) at institutions and firms are achieving 50%+ a year as a top standard, how big they are capitalised by the institutions we don't know though. Point is these things are possible. Saying. "nobody" does certain things is just plan wrong and a horrible mind set

    Any leveraged product you day trade, especially with the turnover he’s describing, is going to be eaten up by commissions and slippage. I much prefer defined options strategies where you don’t have to sit in front of the computer screen all day and commissions are very reasonable. You also know what your max loss is going to be, and if you take the trade far enough out, you minimize gamma risk.

    I would respectfully have to disagree with this man. I've only been trading for 2 years part-time for the first 6 months full-time for the last 18. But I've managed to average a 30% success ratio by mass majority with four to one risk reward. Granted it's much easier doing weekly swings to find that type of ratio as opposed to day trading. So there is some truth to that but in general it is reasonable for your standard to be a 4:1 risk to reward. I know that because I'm fairly new at this still and I am having success on that level and my circle of people I trade with who are much more experienced and maintain that as well if not more

    I have to completely disagree with this guy on R&R. 1:1 is so damaging to your physiology as a trader. If you loose 2 trades you now have to win 3 trades get get ahead. That's a horrible strategy. Over my years of tradeing I've developed a strategy that involves dianamic R&R and dianamic entry and exits. Over much back testing I've found 3:1 is typically the most successful but like I said I use a dianamic approach. Full disclosure I trade s&p futures and that's it. My win percent varies from 45%-70% but my winning tick ratio is almost always very close to 3:1. This guy just doesn't have a good system. Sorry but the truth hurts. I'm beginning to believe that the old statistic that 90% of traders fail is completely out dated. Like I said I've been tradeing for a very long time and it has never changed. I call bluff.

    He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. 1:1 is a loser anyway. The reason is simple. Even if he's 60% right in the market all that extra 10% is going to go to the broker, and if you stop and think about it, when you hit a 1:1 already on a trade, the probability of it going to 2:1 TP instead of your SL is 67%. And he only needs to be 40% right at a large sample size. It's basic math.
