The loss is not the part that keeps you up

Some of these are
going to land

• You have moved a stop — and felt relief when it came back.
• You have worked out exactly what you need to get back to even.
• You have funded the account again, and told yourself that was the last time.
• You have checked the phone at three in the morning.
• You have called a loss unlucky when you knew what you did.
• You have not told anyone the real number.

None of this makes you a bad trader. It makes you a normal one. Every person who has ever traded a live account has done at least three of these, and almost nobody says so out loud.

Five steps. It takes one afternoon. Nothing about it feels reckless while it is happening.

• 1

  Two losses.

  Annoying. Not a problem. You've had worse mornings.

• 2

  The third one is bigger.

  Just to make it back. You'd never call it that out loud.

• 3

  It goes against you.

  So you move the stop. Once. The level is still valid.

• 4

  It comes back.

  Relief. You were right. You tell yourself you read it correctly.

• 5

  Next time it doesn't.

  And the account is gone in an afternoon, not over months.

Every trader who has lost an account ran this exact sequence. Not one of them lost it because they picked the wrong entry.

Gold moved $18 against him.
His risk went from $60 to $600.

No crash. No news. An ordinary morning — and he multiplied his exposure by ten while being wrong.

If any of these is you,
the book was written for it

• You move stops when it matters most

  CH.14 — why the rule you set on Sunday loses to the person you become on Tuesday.

• Your losers are bigger than your winners

  CH.15 — the one number that diagnoses this in thirty seconds.

• You layer to avoid taking the loss

  CH.09 — the version that works, and the version that turns $60 into $600.

• You risk 5% because someone said so

  CH.02 — ten losses at 5% costs 40%, and needs +67% to undo.

• Your stop is a number you copied

  CH.12 — “60 pips” was written when gold traded at 1930.

• Five trades of 0.01 feels diversified

  CH.08 — it is one position of 0.05, and five times the risk.

I run the community.
That is exactly why
you should ask questions.

I am FX Wizzard. I have traded gold and indices for more than five years, with my own capital, through the drawdowns as well as the good months. Everything in this book is what I actually do — not a theory I assembled to have something to sell.

Chapter 16 of this book is a list of ten questions you should put to any signal provider before you pay them. I wrote it knowing it would be pointed at me. Two of them, answered here.

• DO YOU TRADE THIS WITH YOUR OWN MONEY?

  Yes. Five years of it, and every rule in this book was written after paying for the lesson personally.

• WHAT RISK PER TRADE DO YOU TELL MEMBERS TO USE?

  One percent per idea. Not per order — per idea. It is the number this entire community is built on, and it is the reason people are still here after a bad month.

The other eight questions are in Chapter 16. Ask me all of them.
