Trader Talks QnA
What training routine got you focused?
I developed this Marcus effect where I watch war dances. When the New Zealand Haka comes on, I’m ready to trade like warriors. We’ve discussed this during the B The Trader podcast.
How did Paul teach you stop loss discipline?
Paul gave me strict instructions: take 50 consecutive 10-cent stop losses. Through this 2006 exercise, I learned accepting small losses isn’t just risk management – it’s tuition payment for trading survival.
What’s your options position sizing?
For option trading, I use a 20 Delta approach. When a position succeeds, I sell half immediately at $1-$2 profits. The remaining half can pyramid into 30-40 Delta exposure if the trend continues.
How do you track trading errors?
I separate Type 1 errors (false positives) from Type 2 errors (false negatives). My day trading journal focuses on identifying mental errors – like when I oversized due to emotional trading or moved stop losses impulsively.
When prediction beats reality?
When CPI numbers released, I had technical analysis suggesting market movements. Despite correct positioning, emotional responses made me panic-exit. This shows trading psychology often determines outcomes more than any chart reading.
