Trading is a probability game.

But the probability of the success of each trade changes every single time.

While the market conditions of today may reduce the probability of a trade by 50%, tomorrow the conditions may increase the probabilities.

So, it doesn't matter what trading system or strategy we trade… we cannot treat all trades equally.

If a trader has a proper understanding of this, it can be leveraged to improve performance, sometimes radically.

How, you may ask?

Dynamic position sizing (DPS).

It's an idea that goes far beyond the conservative way of thinking in trading.

It's a simple but out of the box idea that can make a huge impact in your trading… if it's applied correctly.

So, here's what you'll discover in today's podcast:

• What is DPS and how you can apply this cutting-edge technique to improve your drawdown and overall profit,

• The DOs and DON'Ts of applying DPS to avoid lowering your overall trading performance,

• What you need to do to avoid overfitting your strategies when applying this technique,

• And much more!

Let's face it… most traders will NEVER make money in their trading career.

Yup, you read that right… in their ENTIRE trading career.

And why is that, you may ask?

Well, we could call it a tradition!

Tradition is that one way everyone does something the same. That one path that everyone follows.

For example, you see many generations of traders using the same risk management approach. Understandably, you go in the same direction because that's how it's been for a while.

But if the majority of traders don't succeed, wouldn't it make more sense to be different from the crowd?

Wouldn't it make sense to stop following the same old ways, to be original and push the trading boundaries?

If you study a lot of successful traders, you'll find that being innovative and unique is a big part of their success. Going against the crowd. Being creative. Adding their own twist.

In this episode, we explore the creative side of trading more, including:

• How overlooking your creative side can lead you to an empty trading account,

• Tips and tricks on how to easily be creative in any part of the trading process,

• How to convert your current traditional trading strategies into original and powerful ideas that will get you exceptional results,

• And much more.

Imagine having a trade that's had a nice run and is holding a tidy profit.

Yup, one minute you're on the right side of the market and the next you're watching your trading account suffer.

It just sucks!

Imagine you need a new pair of shoes.

You go to the shoe shop and explain to the store attendant what type of shoes you want.

Now, imagine if the store attendant tells you they only have 1 type of shoe and it only comes in 1 size. They recommend this same shoe to ALL of their customers, and they recommend it to you too. They don't even check if it's in your size!

Would you take it?

Probably not.

To get the best results you need shoes that match you. Shoes that match your foot size. Shoes that match your body weight. And shoes that are designed for the specific purpose you need - you're not going to want women high-heels if you're a male runner. (and if you do that's fine too, we're not judging!)

But, just as there's no 'one-size-fits-all' solution for shoes, there's no 'one-size-fits-all' solution in trading.

Every challenge a trader goes through has a very specific solution to solve that problem.

Trying to use the wrong solution for a specific problem won't give you the best results. So, wouldn't it be awesome if you could get a personalized solution to your trading challenge RIGHT NOW?

In this podcast episode, we talk about finding the right solution for trading challenges, including:

• The mindset you need to never get stuck in your trading challenges,

• The first step to finding the perfect solution for what's holding your trading back,

There are a lot of wrong assumptions when it comes to trading strategies…

One is that you only need 1 or 2 strategies to be successful.

Another is that a trading strategy will last forever.

Both of these aren't true.

The lifespan of trading strategies has been getting shorter and shorter over the years.

The markets are getting noisier. There are more algorithms. Greater changes in volatility. Tougher competition...

If your strategy lasts 5 years, then consider yourself lucky!

So ask yourself this question:

If your strategy starts failing tomorrow, what are you going to do?

If you truly want to become a successful trader with a stable income, then you need to think BIGGER.

Here's what you'll discover in this episode:

• The trading mindset you need to be successful, no matter what your goals are,

• What your 'Plan B' should look like for any bumps on the road,

• How the markets are getting more difficult to trade and what you can do to be prepared,

• How to develop your own strategies in unlimited quantity, and gain full control over your trading,

• And much more.

Most strategies fail.

Most traders will spend their time trying to understand the most intricate detail as to why they failed.

Even though that's a good thing overall, it can also be your worst enemy.

At some point in your trading journey, you have to embrace that you can't decipher everything.

Spending time trying to understand the minute details will make you lose money in the long run.

I did just that when developing my brilliant framework that is now the core of the Breakout Strategies Masterclass.

I spent a lot of time researching but I knew when to move on and start experimenting.

I was focused on getting results and NOT on winning the "know-it-all" competition.

So today, I'm here to share how I achieved such a framework and how I knew each step would work.

So, here's what you'll discover:

• What makes the Breakout Strategies Masterclass framework surpass any other out there,

• The bullet-proof process the BOS framework went through to become the best of the best,

• How embracing the not knowing helped me achieve the current, and best version of this framework,

• And how this framework kept 93% of my strategies making money for over a 2-year period.
