so on CHFS - if you were willing to risk $300 on that stock,
then based on the stop you would only be buying 3700 - 4000 shares,
which is around $2000 - $2200 investment of capital!
again suggest you re watch my video - it had nothing to do with
placing a set amount into each trade like $20,000 or $100,000 for
example. It has to do with how much you are willing to risk, is it
$200, is it $500, whatever - that sets your trade size and
capital size - your capital size is not setting that. and obviously
you can consider things like liquidity etc
one last comment about CHFS as someone asked me how do you
determine what amount to put into low priced stocks like CHFS.
Again it's not about dollar amount it's about what you are
willing to risk. The person used $100,000 for example. Well
using my stop example on CHFS assuming you used a 9 cent initial
stop: and $100,000 would buy roughly 200,000 shares - if that
9 cent stop was hit you would be looking at a -$18,000 you are
risking!! Are you wililng to risk $18K to $20K on a 50 cent stock
if you are wrong and your stop is hit? Hell no! Again
it's common sense guys - how much are you willing to gamble on a
trade - that's what sets your shares and dollar amount you put into
it. You don't use an arbitrary dollar amount like $100K for each
trade you do - the dollar amount is set by your stop relative to
your entry price and how much you would lose if your stop is
hit.
