thanks Bernd!! to be honest some of them are even worse than what you mention, they had SL and TP, but they use the highest floating profit watermark(in PIPS *lol) as the winner, so even if they had SL hit, but got some floating profit moment before it happen, they will call record it as winning days lol, for anyone reading this, simply runaway from anyone counting cumulative with PIPS gained, they simply dont know how to trade, they just gambling with forex!
Thanks for your comment! I will definitely do more content on this topic #scamalert and adding to the “scam detector”. This will be helpful for everyone who is watching!
I almost got interested in buying a course from Rayner Theo. I had doubts, but now I’m even more certain. Luckily, I didn't buy it. As for Brad Goh, I've only seen him often on social media. Both of them are quite famous in my region, Southeast Asia. Fortunately, I have realized it now 🙏🏻
Absolutely Onifade! And thank you for your great comment! But unfortunately lot of people cannot differentiate between a scammer and a pro. Don't blame them, because how would you know if you are just starting out with trading. That's why I think content like this has to be done.
Out of all the gurus I respect you the most, the fact that you're one of the best at FTMO speaks volumes. Whilst most of these UA-cam gurus only offer renamed ICT courses and affiliate links. The game is rigged and most new traders find it so hard to stick to trading. Well done sir, keep going.
Another factor is the number of trades you get in a month. A trading plan with a risk to reward of 1:1 is likely to give you a lot more setups in a month than one with a 1:5 risk to reward ratio. So if trader B has 60 iterations in a month whilst trader A only has 10, trader B should expect to have a higher expected return, and there should be less deviation in their monthly returns. Also, trader B should be able to risk more per trade due to a higher win rate whereas trader A would probably need to lower risk to stay within prop firm drawdown requirements. Because trader B can risk more per trade, this will also increase their monthly return. This is why I think higher win rate strategies with lower RR are better. A lot better on the trader psychology also. Like you said in your other video, high win rate strategy, 1:1 risk to reward, with 2% risk per trade, best trade plan in my opinion. Great video Bernd
Thank you for taking your precious time and writing this long comment. Much appreciated. Agree with most of your points. Trader A and Trader B are two extremes that will look different in the real world anyhow. It just showcases that RR is much more important than W/L. That's why I give guidance at the end of the video of how realistic KPIs look like: 1:2 RR and 40ish W/L ratio. Can you get to a 50-60ish W/L? Yes absolutely. But only for really good traders. Everything beyond is not realistic with an adequate RR. The point where I professionally disagree is the fact that a lower RR will give you more trading opportunities. Rules stay rules. And you should only take trades when all your rules are met and you have a quality trading opportunity. Because if you now take more trades, less quality ones, less rules met, your W/L will also suffer. So we are moving in a circle. Anyhow. Happy and safe trading and once again thank you for taking your time to comment below the video.
Nah, that is the worst way to trade, we have 22 trading days a month and for trader B to win 60 trades with an 80/20 win rate, he takes an average of 3-4 trades a day and about 75 trades a month. that sounds like overtrading to me, and that will cause him (trader B) to be glued to the screen all day searching for trade setup which in the long run will affect his trading psychology and health too, you can't build a trading career, and have a family or even a life that way bro
Great video! A professional trader usually lands in the 50-70% win rate. Depending on the month. People dont realize that with a 1:1.5 RR with a 50% win rate you make a lot of money. These gurus create false expectations into how much money you CAN make. I am incredibly happy if I can consistently make 2R on a weekly basis. The concept of this is consistency and having more money 2R of a 5mm account is achievable. I agree with everything you say I wish more people would understand this instead of trying to make $60,000 with a 100k account
Good Video dude, my only gripe with Trader A/B is surely trader B will have runners that supercedes his 1.1RR and with a WL Ratio of 80% id say he was the better trader, also if you then go into the psychology of traders how many guys are going to stick to there rules with a 30% WL ratio and have the mental strenght to fight agaist those losers not many people would have the mind set to stick to the plan whereas traders B will be in a better place mentally cruising along with 80% WL ratio you are pretty much printing money with those stats.
Thank you for your comprehensive comment Mike. The whole point of the study is to show that 80% is an unrealistic number to chase. And traders have to be mentally prepared to lose every second trade on average.
As someone who is still practicing on a demo account, I really needed this, though I’m still struggling to understand certain concepts.. I know I’ll get there with much patience. Thank you so much for sharing. Much love from Botswana 🇧🇼 ♥️
I agreed that 1:2 is a good idea (realistic) to become a profitable trader it allows you to get a good accuracy and in the long term you only need 40% wins
Thanks Bernd, like this video so much! I am a beginner trader and I was keep on losing money as my risk to reward ratio is really bad and I am constantly adjusting my stop loss. A mentor told me I was gambling instead of trading 😂 guess I am just too afraid of losing profits 😢
The key point is the use of stoploss. Without it you can have 100% win rate since there are no losses. But that depends on what drawdown you are willing to accept, which can be huge if the lot size is too big. So to lower the risk you can have a small drawdown most of the time but then comes the moment when the market just continues against you and the account is blown. So risk management is key.
What a video, sir! Absolutely amazing and realistic. Keep making such videos. Because of fake scammers, traders have unrealistic expectations from the market and end up losing.
Finally someone who’s honest about trading. Please never become a UA-cam guru. The teaching aspect is easily respected in a sea of scammers. Thank you for the quality education, sincerely.
I recognised 1 Trader Guru in your click Bait. 😅 1st time watched one of your Video. It is To the point content. Thank you.. Time is most valuable. And 90% Trading/youtubers waste 90% of time in useless talking and useless startegies. It is very difficult to find Good and to the point Videos on UA-cam.
Thanks for this. I've just started out into the wonderful world of trading. I'm lucky to have bumped into people who have started to teach me similar things to what you are showing and so far over a few trades I'm down $30 instead of my whole account :-) I'm going to follow your channel. Thanks for the great content
Allow me to express my perspective with due respect: George Soros diverges from the typical trader, focusing on fundamental anomalies, especially in currencies, employing assertive measures to influence economies or entities. It's not faisable for the average trader. Your emphasis on number crunching and probability distributions is valid, yet real-world trading often deviates from typical distributions. Relying solely on technical setups with a Risk-Reward ratio of 2 or more may not yield enough wins to offset long-term losses. Markets, being fractal, often move within a small range, and the perception of significant movement arises mainly from leverage. I concur with your overall sentiment; while individuals like Soros made millions, it's crucial to note that their success doesn't solely stem from trading. It's intriguing how people place trust in others without concrete proof of their prowess in trading.
Comments well formulated and articulated are always welcome. Appreciate your insight and opinions on my video. At the end of the day, it’s a case study that is applicable to 95% of traders. There will be always traders outside the standard deviation. But it’s an anomaly.
Love you videos there is something also that needs to be taken into consideration and that is the mental part for alot of people with strike rate of 30% they will start to tilt and go for trades out of emotion if they lose 3 or 4 trades in a row
The problem is more your risk ratio reward increase more the risk also increase. its really hard to find trades with high risk ratio rewards and low risk. The real question is what situations or patterns have a high risk ratio reward and a low risk :)
First part of your comment I don't understand: Why is the risk increasing? Risk is constant. The probability decreases the higher your RR. And the last point I fully agree :). That's the 1 million dollar question basically 😂
@@berndskorupinski more your target is far from your entry more the risk is increasing because the probability of success decreases. i dont have good results with risk ratio reward above 3; maybe i dont look for the right situations or patterns for high risk ratio reward. maybe only the movments with huge momentum are good trades for high RR. What is your average RR ?
@@philgo6576 don't go higher than 1:3. You know the KPIs if you can do 40:60 w/l and 1:2 or 1:3 on your winning trades you re highly profitable. That's also my target. So don't go for super high RRs.
Very nice video. However in the video you neglect to consider the effects of trader psychology and how a win rate such as Trader B's is good for the psychology despite it having a lower profit potential.
If you don’t win an average of 1/X for à X:1 WR as a minimum. it’s statistically impossible to profit over time. I like this rule of thumb to help me optimize my strategy further and try to achieve better results with this goal in mind.
I trade strictly on my edge. I tend to have a high win rate but I have trades that I rank as A, B, and C. C are trades you see daily I avoid those. B are trades I wait for that come 3 times a week. A are my highest probability setups that yield the biggest move. I can lose on 3-4 B or C and one A make it up and then some. Also my A trades are set up to scale in. I just am patient and wait for A setup. But it’s taken years to become this patient. I don’t believe any trader who claims to make tons of money who only has traded a year. 😂
On your A trades statement ....ihad a pal in 2008 older than me by a few years...told me ihad to go to school for this...afterwards iwas thinking he said that to deter me from the biz ..bcuz iknew a person didn't have to go to school for it......fastfoward 2020 to now 2024 four years in isee now he was not kidding...listening to ppl like Karen Foo on the importance of the logic of understanding macroeconomic and microeconomics for our day and swing trades....
I don't like how you added 1:7 and a 1:6 win on the example that was supposed to only have 1:5 RR. In the 1:1 scenerio you keep it 1:1 on all wins. What if we give him a couple 1:2 or 1:3 wins? I'm teasing you. I know you're just proving a point.
I only look at RR and percentage risk lets 1% or 2% on my capital on every trade i dont look at PL and winrate or number of pips to me it doesn't make sense e.g i can take the same trade you took i risk 10pips sl and trade moves 50pips in profit and same trade you took but you used a 20 or 25pips sl thats how i feel number of pips or winrate doesn't make sense we both won and same pips though... outcome was different anyway just find out works for you and stick to it with discipline
I agree dont believe all youtube gurus, but winrate depends on the strategy. I mean there is high probability 90% of youtubers are scammers selling you courses, having clickbait videos and living off of youtube ads. However there might be some people following just one pair, trading just price action having 5 setups in month, after 4 different confirmations meet, they can have 80% winrate. Just because GM Sachs has less of a winrate does not mean a thing. They also trade in much higher volume, and sometimes have to take a loser to push price higher - they can easily take a loss of X millions to push through resistance, eat liquidity and sell on next HH, then start selloff all the way (closing some positions in loss/BE) They also hedge positions so in general this lowers your winrate.
Sorri maybe I didn’t ask the full question actually my question was if the trade is going in your favour and u trail the stop loss can consider it as rr increase while your position size is same?my other and very important question is there anyway to know how many contracts are long and short on sp500 or dow jones?is there any site where u can view the current long and short contracts?many thx is advance 😊 you are doing a great job ❤
Thank you superman,I will start change to swing trading,I have profitable trading plan,but I was day trade or scalping sometime I don't stick to my plan and being impatient do not stick to my plan and get emotional waiting infront of the chart too long and break the rules. I update 6months later if I sucess.
Thanks for this. Its made me realise I'm not actually that bad and doing ok! :) Perfect piece of content to post in a world of scam and 'flex'. Much appreciated.
Thanks for all you do Bernd, you're a true inspiration! Hope you will keep putting out quality content 🙏🏻 Btw, I noticed that the thumbnail was changed and you replaced Umar with Rayner and also comments about Umar being a Furu got deleted. Did he threaten you to sue ?
@@berndskorupinski Those comments were definitely deleted because I myself wrote one of them and now it's gone 😀 Not saying you deleted them, probably deleted automatically by UA-cam following report (shows the lengths those Furus go to protect their reputation....). Ultimately it doesn't matter scammers will always be there and there is nothing that we can do about it. You're a good person and are doing great work. Looking forward to more quality videos from you ! Cheers
@@berndskorupinski that was fast, thanks for the reply. He is a trader and a price action educator. I'm sure you probably know Tom Hougard, he works with Al Brooks during some of his seminars and recommends him for learning price action
Just let it play out. Everything else is an emotional reaction AFTER you are in the trade. You have to have rules though what to do once price moves in your favor. For example. Once price moves 1:1 you can move your SL to BE.
I think at least 1:2 is better, because the SL pip should be seen as a comfortably investment to loose for higher return. Panic moving of SL to BE will surely affect ones account in the long run, except day traders
"give me a break" 🤣🤣. More of these pls! I hope verifying gains becomes a standard, tired of the lies 🥱. I was wondering with a fixed risk (rather than %,) how/when do you decide to increase/decrease the amount? Tia. Love your videos ❣
So am I correct to say that win rate is inversely proportional to RRR? There're some traders who claim that they have high win rate and high RRR which I think is impossible. Scammer detected? 😅
@gilbertteo5938 well then it’s either lack of skill or your strategy. Cannot evaluate from here. But again: stick to your target 1:2 and 40% win rate. This will make you profitable
Haha 😂 love love love your comment. ICT founder is a 🤡. Haven’t seen anything like him in my entire trading career. Disgrace for the trading community.
What you think of somebody who claim to have 50% win rate with 1:3 risk reward ratio and emphasis on the risk reward ratio part in education. Also said person takes people into their mentorship free of cost giving them a scholarship if they are from 3rd world country and can't afford the mentorship fees

I don't like how you added 1:7 and a 1:6 win on the example that was supposed to only have 1:5 RR. In the 1:1 scenerio you keep it 1:1 on all wins. What if we give him a couple 1:2 or 1:3 wins? I'm teasing you. I know you're just proving a point.
We said >=1:5 😅. Yes it’s just a case study to prove a point!
I only look at RR and percentage risk lets 1% or 2% on my capital on every trade i dont look at PL and winrate or number of pips to me it doesn't make sense e.g i can take the same trade you took i risk 10pips sl and trade moves 50pips in profit and same trade you took but you used a 20 or 25pips sl thats how i feel number of pips or winrate doesn't make sense we both won and same pips though... outcome was different
anyway just find out works for you and stick to it with discipline
Makes all sense! Thanks for your valuable comment 💙💪
I agree dont believe all youtube gurus, but winrate depends on the strategy. I mean there is high probability 90% of youtubers are scammers selling you courses, having clickbait videos and living off of youtube ads. However there might be some people following just one pair, trading just price action having 5 setups in month, after 4 different confirmations meet, they can have 80% winrate. Just because GM Sachs has less of a winrate does not mean a thing. They also trade in much higher volume, and sometimes have to take a loser to push price higher - they can easily take a loss of X millions to push through resistance, eat liquidity and sell on next HH, then start selloff all the way (closing some positions in loss/BE) They also hedge positions so in general this lowers your winrate.
No professional would ever hedge btw. 😅 thanks for sharing your opinion 🤝
I expected you to mention names 😂😂jokes.Thanks for sharing this video keep on the good work.
Would be to many to count 😂😂
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen explaining win loss ratio. Thank you, I’m seriously considering your class now
Glad it was helpful Jess! Thanks for your lovely comment 💙
Great video thank you for your efforts. Do you take partial profits when your trading or is it win or loss no matter what?
Most of the times it’s Win Loss OR break even. Under specific circumstances I will take partial profits. But it’s at least 1:1
How do I join the university Bernd?
Great video on risk/reward ratio to maximize profit and minimize risk on trading, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great information but wat if u trail your stop loss as your trade starts going in your favour?
Trail based on RR
Sorri maybe I didn’t ask the full question actually my question was if the trade is going in your favour and u trail the stop loss can consider it as rr increase while your position size is same?my other and very important question is there anyway to know how many contracts are long and short on sp500 or dow jones?is there any site where u can view the current long and short contracts?many thx is advance 😊 you are doing a great job ❤
@@cjraza2 First question: No. Second question: COT report
nice video sir,, i wanna ask, if you have negative perspective of ICT?
Wait for my next video 😁🤝
Thank you superman,I will start change to swing trading,I have profitable trading plan,but I was day trade or scalping sometime I don't stick to my plan and being impatient do not stick to my plan and get emotional waiting infront of the chart too long and break the rules. I update 6months later if I sucess.
That’s a great choice! Showing also self-reflection. Looking forward to your success story 🙏👌
Love the video. Finally another great trader to learn from. Subbed. 🔥
Welcome aboard! Thanks for that huuuuge compliment.
What strategies would you suggest for Spot trading ?
Supply and Demand as a foundation for a beginner.
Fucking love your every video man, one of the few real in the scene
Boom 💥 STATEMENT! This is much appreciated!
Bottom line: risk management is very important.
Trade A is using SND and Trader B using SNR I am right?
using same same...it's just a case study.
Thanks for this. Its made me realise I'm not actually that bad and doing ok! :) Perfect piece of content to post in a world of scam and 'flex'. Much appreciated.
Glad it helped! 🤝💙
Just seeing your video for the first time, thank you
Great! Hope you subscribed 😁
Thanks for all you do Bernd, you're a true inspiration! Hope you will keep putting out quality content 🙏🏻
Btw, I noticed that the thumbnail was changed and you replaced Umar with Rayner and also comments about Umar being a Furu got deleted. Did he threaten you to sue ?
No we just change things sometimes. I didn’t delete any post.
@@berndskorupinski Those comments were definitely deleted because I myself wrote one of them and now it's gone 😀 Not saying you deleted them, probably deleted automatically by UA-cam following report (shows the lengths those Furus go to protect their reputation....).
Ultimately it doesn't matter scammers will always be there and there is nothing that we can do about it. You're a good person and are doing great work. Looking forward to more quality videos from you ! Cheers
Thank you so much Bernd !
Welcome 🤗
great video, great content! 💪
Thank you 🙏🫶
Lmfao, you put some of the biggest furus on the thumbnail 😂
Haha I had to 🤪
@@berndskorupinski did u just change the thumbnail? I remember it was umar on right side
eye opening 👌 drop more content i will watch knowing i dont waste my time 😂😂 thank you big broh all . south african fan ❤🙏
Oh thank you so much for your lovely comment! I drop weekly videos! Hope you will enjoy the most of them 💙
Tanks Bernd love your videos from Kenya
Shame you didn't actually call any of them out...
Why would I need to…so ppl have more 🍿
@berndskorupinski well yeah... plus the thumbnail says you exposed them, but then didn't actually expose anyone.
hi Bernd, is that rayner theo on the right ? left also quite familiar, i forgot the name
A note to myself: prove that Bernd is wrong. I.e., that it's possible to have a high win rate and R:R much better than 1:1.
Prove it 😁…come back in a year. Verified stats! Wouldn’t mind to prove me wrong! Wish you all the best 🙏💯💙
Trader A has higher probability of going on a 10 trade losing streak with low win rate. Risking 1% would mean could lose funding.
Losing 10 trades in a row as a consistent profitable trader is more than unlikely. Happy and safe trading Steve.
Very well explained.
Hi Bernd, what do you think about Al Brooks? I hope you see this and respond
Don’t know AI Brooks…
@@berndskorupinski that was fast, thanks for the reply. He is a trader and a price action educator. I'm sure you probably know Tom Hougard, he works with Al Brooks during some of his seminars and recommends him for learning price action
Thanks for calling all This BS guru
Well, someone's got to expose the BS, right?
hey iam using 1-0.5 rr but in the end of month iam profitable there is no probleme right ? i dont need to change my strategie to get more rr
Yes correct.
How do you deal with trades that dont really move to target profit but seems to remain at break even for even two days
Just let it play out. Everything else is an emotional reaction AFTER you are in the trade. You have to have rules though what to do once price moves in your favor. For example. Once price moves 1:1 you can move your SL to BE.
I think at least 1:2 is better, because the SL pip should be seen as a comfortably investment to loose for higher return. Panic moving of SL to BE will surely affect ones account in the long run, except day traders
Great video Bernd. Keep up the good work
Thank you 🙏 will do 💙
Can you provide evidence (valid data) that trading forex for living even possible?
Do you wanna sound smart with that comment? Obviously you have no idea who I am…
Thank you sir 🔥 a timely content
Appreciate your comment 🙏
Iman called them all out and with insane precision 😂😂😂😂
I like his call out videos…
"give me a break" 🤣🤣. More of these pls! I hope verifying gains becomes a standard, tired of the lies 🥱. I was wondering with a fixed risk (rather than %,) how/when do you decide to increase/decrease the amount? Tia. Love your videos ❣
Called milestone planning. Will cover that in one of my next videos how to give yourself a raise in trading. Happy and safe trading ❤
@@berndskorupinski I look forward to it!😍
So am I correct to say that win rate is inversely proportional to RRR? There're some traders who claim that they have high win rate and high RRR which I think is impossible. Scammer detected? 😅
What do you consider high RRR?
My RRR per trade is between 1:1 and 1:4…more like 1:2 on average.
1:2 and above. Just wondering if it's possible to achieve both. I'm currently struggling to achieve anything higher than 1:1.
@gilbertteo5938 well then it’s either lack of skill or your strategy. Cannot evaluate from here. But again: stick to your target 1:2 and 40% win rate. This will make you profitable
@@berndskorupinski Thanks for your invaluable advice. Will work on it.
Michael Joe Huddleston a.k.a ICT : MY WINRATE IS FXXKING 96%.
Me : *Stops watching*
Also me : *Proceeds to watch Bernd Skorupinski*
Haha 😂 love love love your comment. ICT founder is a 🤡. Haven’t seen anything like him in my entire trading career. Disgrace for the trading community.
Just found your Channel and enjoying your videos.
Thank you so much for checking out my channel! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
I know it’s funny… 😅😅😅, however, food for thought!!!!!
☝️💙
What you think of somebody who claim to have 50% win rate with 1:3 risk reward ratio and emphasis on the risk reward ratio part in education. Also said person takes people into their mentorship free of cost giving them a scholarship if they are from 3rd world country and can't afford the mentorship fees
Everyone can say stuff. Check for prop firm certifications. Real ones. Check for credibility in data not in words.
@@berndskorupinski said perform has been on Prop firm leaderboards, their students also have been on leaderboards. Both the mentor and students have many interviews with prop firms
u should start review these gurus
Excellent video 😊
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this interessant information as usual ;)
The pleasure is mine 🙏
what are you thoughts on ICT?
Before I joined youtube 2 month ago I have never heard anything about ICT 😂. Just seeing ppl mentioning it in their youtube titles 🤷🏼♂️
@@berndskorupinski Yeah, everyone uses his name, but his concepts are well respected by allot of people. inner circle trader is his official youtube channel.
@@TCCornelis I was also wondering if he's legit or not since he says he's "the mentor of mentors" but what proof do we have? Social proof is not proof. I nearly fell asleep trying to watch a couple of his videos... and I love trading 😅
@@el--le yeah, he also made a shit ton of money with selling courses, but I am not saying that he isn't legit. I have tested multiple models of him and they do seem to work pretty well. But most things he is teaching are just basic stuff with other names
@el--le ict learned from Oliver Velez and repackage what he learnt and sold it ...Oliver Velez made up the term swing trader.....but I'm thinking u would rather believe a Caucasian that works at Goldman Sachs made it up....iwont b mad.....them ppl good for taking credit for what colored folk do 😁
Your advice on RR is awesome. How you measure RR is again awesome. it never disappoints. SET, measures are also awesome. I love your approach to this. Please check the email I sent to you sir
