WHY YOU MAKE NO MONEY TRADING FOR A 2X: This might get long, but im going to try & explain why I trade the way I do. Below is a chart of 100 trades, the win rate is 30% for a 2x, the other 70% of trades result in a 50% loss. Starting with $1000 & entering with $100 into each trade. The results, the trader ended up losing $200 across 100 trades. Or 20% of their account. In reality, most of you probably have a lower than 30% win rate, you probably lose more than 50% on each trade and dont even realise the 2x. So your results are much worse Now here is a crazy dramatic change. I ran the same simulation. But instead of selling for 100% gain, I changed it to 200% gain. Still 30% win rate, -50% loss on losers. The simulation resulted in a total profit of $2,250. Or over a 200% gain on the entire portfolio. You MUST know your stats, your WR. Your average loss Now here is an even more EXTREME chart. Starting with a $1,000 portfolio & simulating 100 trades - each risking $100, with a 30% chance to gain 500% & a 70% chance to lose 90% of the position, the final portfolio value is $9,700. So if you are prepared to hold to almost 0, or wait it out to get a 5x you would almost 10x your portfolio over 100 trades assuming a 30% WR. Even if lower, you would still be up massively. Now this is my 30 day PNL. People joke that it looks like im going up a stair case. There is no slow grind up to the right. When I win I take quantum leaps in profit. I win big, or I lose small (relative to portfolio). Flat or vertical. I hope this helps you understand the numbers behind why you are losing long term. You get so excited to finally have a winning trade, immediately sell for your 2x and then get back to losing. THIS IS WHY. You have to know your numbers, you have to know why it's going wrong. Revert to believing in higher, revert to holding positions, revert to holding. Dont get blinded by these fkn fifteener's who convince you that the only way to make money is flipping new pairs.
