Here are Top Ten Trading Highlights with Riz International founder, Rizwan Memon:
- You need to put time money and commitment to learn or else it’s gonna be a tough time. Would you go skydiving without knowing where the parachute was located? No, that’s suicide. You need an instructor and pass before doing a solo jump.
- Position sizing and diversification is key.
- You need to figure out what your sweet spot to risk is (10%, etc). Finding that balance and what you’re comfortable with takes tweaking and finding what’s best for you.
- If you’re going to model success, first you need to have the foundation! Make sure you have the basics down.
- Learn from a person who is transparent. Just because have a nice car doesn’t mean they are someone to follow and learn from. You need to take time to see if they are consistently transparent.
- In choppy market, you need to ask how are you going to respond. Cut positon size, trade less, more selective. If see a good setup be even more cautious about entering. May take a half or starter position. As things stabilize, increase risk and take more.
- When the market is bleeding, NOT LOSING MONEY IS A WIN ITSELF.
- Wait be patient! Humans are conditioned to go into a job and do more, more and more. In trading, sometimes less is more. Know when to pull back.
- Selling Puts (Shorting Puts). Biggest edge with options. Raptor method. Biggest edge if done right with the right account size and risk management.
- You can get paid to wait. By selling puts or shorting puts, the more capital you have then the more opportunities. He has equity and now getting paid to wait.
