Episode notes
Size Stops By Volatility, Not Fixed Pips
- Keep charts naked and use only ATR to size stops relative to current volatility.
- Avoid fixed pip stops across different pairs and adapt risk to market movement.
Be Situational Around News
- Respect scheduled news events by being cautious before announcements and waiting for post-news clarity.
- Trade the structure around news timing, not the fundamental content for short-term entries.
From Big Win To Humbling Drawdown
- Tom had an early nine-month run that peaked, then lost a large portion of gains over weeks which shook his confidence.
- That experience led him to overcomplicate his system before he returned to refining core rules.
