About this audiobook

You have a way of picking trades. Do you know what it actually costs you per trade, how big a losing streak your plan should expect, or how much of the account a single position should be allowed to put at risk? Trading Risk Management and Position Sizing is a plain-English math guide for retail traders in stocks, forex, futures and crypto. It teaches no strategies and no signals, and it promises no profit. It teaches the arithmetic that sits underneath every method, with every formula shown with numbers, a spreadsheet equivalent, and practice problems with answers. Where Options Trading for Beginners explains what options are and how those positions work, and Trading Addiction Recovery deals with what happens after a blown account, this book is the cross-market math of returns, expectancy, sizing, drawdown and ruin. Inside, you'll learn: This is educational material, not financial advice. Work the examples with a pencil, check every number against your own records, and let the arithmetic tell you the truth about your plan.
