Once you master taking small losses, you are set for life.

It’s like having an emergency exit inside every trade.

You stop arguing with the market.

You get out, protect your capital, and remain ready for the next opportunity.

[Julian Komar @BlogJulianKomar]

"Tight stop losses are stupid. You get stopped out, and the stock rallies 10% the next day."

I've heard this argument countless times.

And whenever I hear it, I think the same thing:

You haven't understood where trading profits actually come from.

I've been trading stocks for more than 20 years. And one of the most important lessons I've learned is that I don't need to be right very often to make money.

My hit rate typically ranges between 30% and 40%, depending on the year and market environment.

That means I'm wrong on roughly 6 or 7 out of every 10 trades.

And I'm perfectly fine with that.

Why?

Because my average winner is typically 5 to 7 times larger than my average loser.

That's where my edge comes from.

Not from predicting every stock correctly. Not from avoiding every shakeout. And certainly not from hoping that every position eventually turns into a big winner.

I used wider stops in the past.

And I've studied the results.

What did I find?

Trades requiring 7–10% stops were not automatically more profitable. But when they failed, the losses were considerably larger.

That's a terrible trade-off if your system depends on a high win/loss ratio.

Now consider the impact on your trading capital.

My typical risk per trade is around 0.2–0.6% of my account.

Let's compare two hypothetical scenarios:

Trader A risks 0.3% per trade.

After 10 consecutive losses, the account is down roughly 3%.

Trader B risks 1% per trade.

After just 5 consecutive losses, the account is down roughly 5%.

Think about that.

Trader A can be wrong TWICE as often and still suffer a smaller drawdown.

Of course, you can adjust position size to control account risk even with a wider stop. But that doesn't solve the question of whether wider stops improve your strategy's expectancy.

And yes, sometimes I get stopped out at −3%, and the stock rallies 10% afterward.

So what?

I look for the next setup. Or I re-enter the stock if it offers another valid opportunity.

I'm not trying to win an argument about where one stock trades tomorrow.

I'm trying to execute a profitable system over hundreds of trades.

Some traders treat stocks like lottery tickets. They think the secret is finding the one big winner and holding on, no matter what.

That's not how I trade.

I accept lots of small losses because I want the occasional big winner to pay for many of them.

Without tight stop losses, I probably wouldn't have the trading edge I have today.

So the next time someone tells you that tight stops don't work because a stock rallied after stopping them out, ask one question:

What does your average winner look like compared with your average loser?

Because if you can't answer that, you're not evaluating a trading edge.

You're just telling stories about individual stocks.

A billionaire sat in a room for 42 minutes and listed every psychological trick that makes people lose money. for free. the finance industry has spent thirty years pretending this recording does not exist.

he didn't sell a course. he didn't write a newsletter. he sat in a chair at 96 years old and explained why brilliant people do the dumbest things with their money. then he explained why they will keep doing it.

MBA programs charge $200,000 to teach behavioral finance. he covered 25 biases in one sitting. some of them are still not in any curriculum. he gave the entire framework away on camera.

the part nobody talks about: he called crypto antisocial. he said index funds will crush most managers. he said private equity is full of wretched excess. he said all of this in a room full of people who manage money for a living. nobody argued.

a hedge fund analyst at a top firm told me this is the first thing they send to anyone who joins the desk. not a book. not a model. a 42-minute video of a 96-year-old man explaining why you will be wrong and how to recognize it before it costs you everything.

40 million people have heard his name. almost none of them have watched him explain the 25 ways their own brain is working against them.

the lecture is free. he died the following year. it is in the video.

Right stock + Big position = Wealth creation.
Right stock + Small position = Opportunity wasted.
Wrong stock + Small position = Tuition fee.
Wrong stock + Big position = Portfolio destruction.

Position sizing is where conviction becomes wealth or stupidity becomes loss.

How Swing traders actually make money?

Traders show you their 3 best trades.
The log has 300 in it.
That gap is the entire education.
Here is the math almost nobody runs. Cash only
100k account. 20 equal positions. 5k each. One runs 10%. Account moves 0.5%.
At 0.5% a trade you need 200 winners to double. Not 200 trades. 200 winners. At a 50% hit rate that is 400 trades.

Change one variable. Same trade, 25% of capital.

10% move = 2.5%.
20% move = 5%.
Fifteen of those = double.
Same setup. Same skill. Different size.

Read that again. The word is size, not risk. If your stop sits 2% below entry, 50% of capital is 1% of account risk. The stop defines the risk. The size defines the return.

How to actually use it:

1 - Hunt for entries tight enough to justify size. NR candle at the 11 or 21 EMA is the whole reason I trade that pattern. Not for beauty. It is what lets me size up.

2 - Keep losses small enough to be boring. Small losses protect your mood & your mood is what lets you take the next 30 trades.

3 - Get immediate feedback. Momentum burst works immediately or it does not. If it does not, you were wrong. Take the 0.3% & move on.

4 - Size is not free. A 25% position that gaps 20% against you is 5% of the account with no stop fill. Manageable, but only if you accepted it before entry.

5 - Do not do this on every trade. Most of the year is small trades and small profits. You size up on the few A+ setups that deserve it.

Making no money? Two questions then?
-Losing more than you win , your setup is the problem.
-Winning but earning little , your size is the problem.

To keep in mind while applying IPOs.

[CA.Ashish Grover @ca_onlygain]

MANIPAL HEALTH ENTERPRISES-IPO

My dear friends before applying in any IPO,you should keep in mind why u r applying in IPO for listing gains or short term or medium term or long term…

Most of the people apply in IPO and immediately after applying started calculating their gain by looking at GMP and started feeling happy and if GMP is showing negative listing started feeling sad…

But one thing I want to share from my personal experience is that GMP in most of the cases proved wrong but ur analysis of fundamentals of company and future growth of company can’t be wrong…

I can give u so many example where GMP was showing negative listing and stock listed in good gains…

Do you think big fund houses FII/Mutual funds and ultra HNI investors apply in IPO on the basis of GMP?..

In manipal maximum holding is with strong hands, FII applied for 8600 crores and mutual funds 8200 crores but will get only small part of this in allotment,do they try to grab more after listing?

Do u think some flippers may try to find exit on listing day but in loss will they exit and if yes there will be any buyers or not?

All big names in anchor list and 23700 crores QIB subscription is on the basis of some fundamental analysis of the company or not?…

What are your views on this?

Should try this for IPO in shni category .

[CA.Ashish Grover @ca_onlygain]

HOW BASE+X helps in SHNI CATEGORY

Taking example of JUNIPER GREEN ENERGY..,

Lots of people were complaining they failed to get allotment in SHNI category inspite of low application wise subscription of just 1.41 times

If they would have applied at base+x in SHNI,they would have got confirm allotment on even 1 application on any base+x..,

Many got 1 out of 1,many 4 out of 5 and so on,check urself….

Let's go!!!! Yo bulls .

[👑Chhatrapati Warrio₹⚔️🛡️ @KiranBhosale007]

Never take early retirement decision in ur 1st Bull Market though u have made good money 1st time.
Get the experience of Bear market that came after ur sucessfull Bull run
That helps to build ur psychology to face different situations
U can plan retirement in subsequent Bull Mkt.
