One of the best interviews. One video i would love to download and watch over and over again. Unlike many who does BS, this Gentleman speaks a lot of sense and you can get to feel the real experience in the field. Thanks very much
One of the best interview out there on the web, i had to download this one because all boris has said totally align with my trading rules currently and i love it. that means am on the right track. well done E.
I’m 50/50 with this guy. 2:1 RR is doable, but win rate might be in the 40%’s or even 30%. It depends on the trader and the market they trade.

Yeah, right? I myself am a 2:1 with a 50-55% win rate. What matters is expectancy. Turtle traders can be positive with a 20% win rate. It's all about making the numbers work with your personality.

This dude strategy is enter after a confirmation of a break out 100% if not he wont get this bad in win rate. Or he have too huge stop loss for the range he trading that maybe why making 2:1 is alot harder.
This man is speaking the truth.
Valuable interview. Thank you!
High quality material again, it is not the first time we hear in your interview serious traders talking not about the RR but the win rate
Thank you, great info,

Also, thanks for talking about Denise Shull. Never heard of her but I love Billions so I'm about to watch every video she on the internet where she talks psychology haha.
Watching your interviews with these great traders has tremendously helped my mindset as a trader. I see myself in all of these people as I hear their about their journeys. It is reassuring to know that I am on the right path and there is nothing that a lot of hard work can't fix. The struggle is real, but so is the reward!

Very good talk
After losing 10k almost 20 I canned martingale/grid trading. I'm back to classic 1-2% risk 1.5:1rr. My scalping strategy has a range of 40-60% winrate depending on which pairs and market conditions.
I love this interview. Dnt agree with everything but some good points were made. I think as traders/entrepreneurs we should always keep an open mind when it comes to Different styles of trading and also risk management. To have a 1:1 RR on every trade(To me) is a waste of a edge. The whole point of having a 2:1 or 3:1 RR is to increase your odds of being consistently profitable. This means I could potentially have a 30% or 40% win rate and still be a profitable trader, which is good because trading profits are not linear you win big and you lose small. “Impossible” Is not a term that I use . 😅
I love his perspective.

He seems a no BS guy. 1:1 R:R with aiming for a Win rate of 60 percent. 100 trades gives you 20 R. He takes around 10 Trades / day * 22= 220 Trades per month, this gives you 44R per month with a low DD.
The man admits that his personality is fast paced and is unable to trade on larger time frames. So it makes sense that he is comfortable with the 1:2 risk to reward strategy.
this is great man
I recently started favouring 1:1 R/R for day trading too, and it has done a lot for my psychology and helping me stick to my plan. Wishing I had focussed on this sooner. 👍

As a "full time trader" I can confirm he is 100% right. Fuck the sexy stuff. Do what works
"It is non replicable" - this is very truth for any kind of so called "intuitive" trading
I have traded many years and can firmly tell you a 2R system is possible intraday. "For him" what was said is true, but for another trader it does not have to be so. Newer traders remember that.
good content
I like what Boris pointed out in the prop firm trading challenge, i.e hitting 10% target in 10 weeks while minimizing losses and making steady small returns. I think too many traders want results quick and that's how they blow up their chances
RRR 1:2 is possible with 52% winrate. That's my risk management.
his 1R value trades comment is only applicable to forex, so many better opportunities out there
Discord link is expired can you please post again.

My R/R is 1:Whatever. Whatever is whatever the market will give me. Leverage is _poison._ If you avoid it, you will become rich. Never _ever_ _ever_ _ever_ add to a losing trade no matter how badly you want to. Never. There is just no reason to ever do it. After all these, the ultimate rule above all is _STOP_ _TAKING_ _BAD_ _SETUPS._ Just stop taking them.

To avoid taking a bad setup is something that comes with experience too. I recommend paying close attention to volume. Make the bulls or bears prove to you that the market is behaving the way you want before risking the setup. Don't rush into trades. It's better to wish you were in than to wish you weren't in.

I love the truth exposed. Great interview
Confirmed, I realized the power of just trading one instrument recently. If you are starting out backtesting and you aren't flipping between multiple trades during the backetest while trying to become profitable, why do it with real money when you automatically trade lower quality setups with a lower attention span.....trying to pay attention to multiple things.

tbh if I go with the 1:1RR then I will not be as selective with my trades than with a 1:3RR for example. And I do know people who are making a living from trading and have a rule not to enter when it's not 1:3RR
Does anyone here know any traders that trade the US30 futures and has a website and KZread channel etc ?
I would respectfully have to disagree with this man. I've only been trading for 2 years part-time for the first 6 months full-time for the last 18. But I've managed to average a 30% success ratio by mass majority with four to one risk reward. Granted it's much easier doing weekly swings to find that type of ratio as opposed to day trading. So there is some truth to that but in general it is reasonable for your standard to be a 4:1 risk to reward. I know that because I'm fairly new at this still and I am having success on that level and my circle of people I trade with who are much more experienced and maintain that as well if not more
Etienne was showing 2:1, 3:1, and even 4:1 reward to risk ratios setups in his last video post. Maybe those setups occur less often, which means one should not think they have to have a trade everyday.

Very interesting. But he lost me when a psychiatrist used to be a trader and he started taking note of her, admitted he's been in the market for many years . But I've seen this in so many industries people can't make it in the industry as a particular thing so then that become consultants or so called experts in the field they couldn't make it in. He also talks numbers he better do the numbers on if he reduced his bad trades by 10% which probably is done by reducing the amount of trades per day he may make more money.
I disagree with so much said in this. You Can change your psychology through mindfulness practice and studies prove you can shrink your amygdala(emotional brain center) in just 8 weeks. Also we know from many resources good speculative traders(individuals not trading high tech algos) at institutions and firms are achieving 50%+ a year as a top standard, how big they are capitalised by the institutions we don't know though. Point is these things are possible. Saying. "nobody" does certain things is just plan wrong and a horrible mind set

Trading is math and I guess one thing left to solve for Mr Boris is RRR and He cannot claim that no body has done that.
I have to completely disagree with this guy on R&R. 1:1 is so damaging to your physiology as a trader. If you loose 2 trades you now have to win 3 trades get get ahead. That's a horrible strategy. Over my years of tradeing I've developed a strategy that involves dianamic R&R and dianamic entry and exits. Over much back testing I've found 3:1 is typically the most successful but like I said I use a dianamic approach. Full disclosure I trade s&p futures and that's it. My win percent varies from 45%-70% but my winning tick ratio is almost always very close to 3:1. This guy just doesn't have a good system. Sorry but the truth hurts. I'm beginning to believe that the old statistic that 90% of traders fail is completely out dated. Like I said I've been tradeing for a very long time and it has never changed. I call bluff.

He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. 1:1 is a loser anyway. The reason is simple. Even if he's 60% right in the market all that extra 10% is going to go to the broker, and if you stop and think about it, when you hit a 1:1 already on a trade, the probability of it going to 2:1 TP instead of your SL is 67%. And he only needs to be 40% right at a large sample size. It's basic math.
