Why keep track of your drawdown? After all, we just want to trade right? You just want to focus in on the reward, whether it be from the Forex, Commodity Futures, or Stock Markets, right?

Drawdown assists you in understanding the worth of a system or method as well. If the person offering the system refuses to talk about the drawdown numbers of that system? That’s a good indication it’s a scam and highly overrated. If the person offers you a system or methodology and talks about drawdown – this lets you know that the system has verifiable merit that you can test.

But what does drawdown tell you about your system, and how you should adjust the rest of your money management strategy?

We discuss that in the following vlog entry …

What’s a easiest way to start a money management company? I expect to have a lot of customers.?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I will recruit money managers. I expect to have a lot of customers. Thanks.
Do I need to get any license for the company? Does the money manager require any license by law?

Well, good money managers make at least $200-300,000 per year. So you’ll need to have that much money ready to pay them.

Then you’ll need to get licenses, pay exchange fees, hire compliance managers ($80-120,000 year) and pay for Bloomberg machines for your money managers ($10,000 each up front and $2500 per month per machine.) You’ll have to have money ready to pay brokerage fees and set up a back office filled with at least 3 or 4 $40,000 per year clerks.

You’ll have to provide them nice offices and advertise to bring money into your fund.

So, have at least 2 if not 3 million of start up capital in mind, gather that together and go for it.

Money Management and ATR explained

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Risk & Money Management are very important, if not the most important issues that must always be addressed by anyone seriously considering trading the Markets. They cater for the preservation of both your Initial & Accumulated Trading Capital. You may already have a great system or set of rules to determine what to buy but if your method of Money Management is clumsy, you will lose money, unnecessarily! Once buying that share your role is no longer as a Trader or investor but a Risk Manager. At some point in time your trading system will meet a draw down period (losing streak) and if you don’t know what to do, you will lose your feeling of control and try to desperately trade your way out of this crisis. Many people feel despondent and abandon a perfectly good trading system, or give up trading altogether with large profits still to be made. As a Trader or Investor, you’re destined to fail without proven Risk / Money Management rules. Managing the Capital in your trading account, controlling the risk it’s exposed to, the size of each trade, together with exit strategies are all pre-requisites of any Money/Risk Management System and successful trading. All these issues and more are covered with JBL Risk Manager. Short Selling now also included in trial. Now also available: Multiple Portfolios, Stock Split Adjustments, preset Brokerage fees including % and provision to select either short or medium term trading or long term investing. 14 day FREE evaluation now available. Trial the program today at http://www.paconsulting.net.au/Share-Trading-Investing-FX/jbl-risk-manager/

What are your best tips for money management for a teenager?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

I am a 17 year old girl and I usually just end up spending all my money. But I don’t want to just put it all away in a savings account. What are your best methods for me to not spend it all?

If you start now and save 10% of your money now and all of the time for the future you will be well equipped for the rest of your life. Just open up a savings account (for now) and always put 10 % of your earnings in there never to be touched.

the second part of this is that make the decision to never spend more money than you make. Do not get into the game of living on credit cards. this is financial suicide

all the best to you
