One of the best interviews on this great channel, Matt keeps raising the bar every time he has a presentation, nugget after nugget... Richard just gets the best out of the guests he interviews. 5 ⭐️ 👊👍
Your channel has been the most helpful out of all of them, the playlist of you guys going through the ultimate training guide is literally everything a noob like me needs to get their training wheels on and be prepared for the markets with confidence. Can’t recommend this channel enough.
This has got me into rethinking my whole selling strategy. I can totally relate, specially, in a choppy environment - how awful it feels to see a trade run and then ultimately throwing you out at breakeven. This method of taking partials so that you can hold onto your position trades longer psychologically and easily has really got me into thinking again.
Nice guest, I think he’s onto it in that sense that it’s all so personalised. Minervini talks about style drift being an account killer, but that doesn’t mean not following someone else’s style to a T. I think it means not following your own style to a T. Matt has shown us here an example of how to clearly follow your own style, his early delineation of ‘swing vs position’ before taking a trade and the way he takes risk off early because he knows it’s the only way for him personally to keep holding. It shifts around with market conditions and conviction but it’s not random either. It’s tailored to his own personality and that’s what makes his system sustainable for him.
Matt is great. Love to hear him. A level headed trader who emphasizes the value of process again and again. Also, even though I am a day trader, I loved hearing his valuable perspectives on Swing and Positional trading. Great work Richard. Thank you!
He talks so much sense ...I was shocked to hear most of his experiences matchwith mine in swing trading...loved his point of having to sit through the earnings unpredictability if u hold a swing for more than couple of months and taking atleast some profits to add to your account ...
Matt's perspective in this interview really helped me work out some questions and issues I've been working on that will almost certainly accelerate my journey. Thanks for posting!
It is your risk multiple. For example if you risk $10 and make $20 you just made 2R. Or if you risk $100 and make $300 you just made a 3R profit. @@bradenwalker6141
Very clear style by very direct approach , putting finger on something I have realise has been one of my problems (1000 others yet to be discovered and solved 😄) This video Inspired me alot , many thanks to you Richard and Mr Petrallia. All conversations with him are excellent in my opinion and very helpful.👋👋👋
Really great point/observation by Matt on trading being a personalized endeavor, but that not really sinking in right away. I've been trading since 2020 and only now do I feel like I'm starting to understand what that truly means.
You do great stuff and I appreciate it and I thank you for putting in the time and energy. If you could fix the TL RS indicator on Tradingview that would be awesome. Compare to IBD RS it's way off@@TraderLion
Matt is a swing trader, he only gets positional on very favourable conditions when he knows most likely the downs will be covered fast. Very good price and market fundamentals, I m up 70 pct this year while using a similar methodology, difference is I don t take gains and rarely use stop losses, I prefer the all or nothing, forces me to improve my mentality and deal with adversity and risk management. My win rate is 60 pct, around 15 trades this year.
Thank you, Matt and Richard. This was one of the most helpful interviews I've seen. I've watched it twice. He spoke to an issue I've had trouble identifying, but it became very clear. And, yes, Richard, those mattress companies can really take off 😂 go TPX...
Thank you, Matt and Richard, for a great interview. A lot of key concepts such R:R, taking partials are explained very clearly. It brings a lot of clarity in my mind about swing and positional trading.
I really wanted this. Thanks Moglen. I am a positional trader who becomes a swing trader on pullback and it really irritates me. This has been my biggest challenge along with increasing my position sizing. I always bet less than what I write down on paper.
Excellent video presentation. In bull markets, I position trade ETFs in the strongest sectors. In choppy, and bear markets, I am mainly in cash until QQQ can recover above the rising 20-day EMA line. Does anyone in North America trade the ASX Australia stock market? I don't know of any trader or investor that does. I have never looked back since some years ago only exclusively trading the U.S. market.
Great interview as usual!👍 I don't know if it's a test for viewers, but if it is, maybe I passed the test. 🙂 Your background frame in Chapter1 says 'TRADE ALIGMENT' I humbly suggest that it should be aligNment. Key Pup the Good Work! Cheers frim Mr Pedant. NoAxe
Jessie Livermore once said it's the sitting and waiting that made the profits. It would be interesting to see the breakdown of the stats between his swing and position trades over the last 3yrs or so. How many R profit for each style. Please ask him😊
Depends on how much profit cushion you have. If you're profits are larger than the expected move (and you're a position trader) you can hold through earnings.
I hope you interview people from all over the world, not just people in the USA. For example Türkiye or India. There are great traders in these countries too
No dumb questions! By R he means Risk as the % from his entry to his stop. If you’re risking 3% on the trade and the stock moves up 4.5% from your entry they say that’s 1.5R.
Really good video (as always)! I don’t get the point when Mat says 10R o 5R, can anyone explain? Does he means that 1R is every 1$ risk, every 1$ profit? I don’t understand
R the multiplier refer to risk/stop. For example, he takes his first partial at 1-1.5R where R = risk/stop set at 2% for example. So Matt takes initial profit at 2% (1R) or 3% (1.5R) profit .
Once you have a gain of 10-20% (depending on your timeframe) you shouldn't allow that stock to stop you for a loss. Get your stops to even/in the money!
Bla bla bla .Enough with the vague claims. Please provide the actual trade details, including the date, size, and any other relevant information. Show us proof that you really made the trade. Anyone can look at a chart and say they bought or sold at a certain point. I need to see evidence before I can believe you.

Thank you for dedicating a vid to position vs swing. I’ve never heard anyone describe it that clearly & give details about execution.
Awesome

You got the most important lesson out of the video. Trading is about being the best you can be & that only happens when you own your style.

Thanks, Richard, for bringing over Matt! Always nice to hear from him. 😊

Very relatable and straight to the point! Thanks a lot to the host and the interviewee 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for watching
He talks so much sense ...I was shocked to hear most of his experiences matchwith mine in swing trading...loved his point of having to sit through the earnings unpredictability if u hold a swing for more than couple of months and taking atleast some profits to add to your account ...
The balance between playing for a longer move and locking in profit. So much of successful trading comes down to personality.
This is awesome,
Whenever i feel that this is the best interview,you come up with another THE BEST interview.
haha glad you enjoyed!
This channel really is probably the best on YT.
You're too kind 💙
Matt's perspective in this interview really helped me work out some questions and issues I've been working on that will almost certainly accelerate my journey. Thanks for posting!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for having Matt as a guess. He is great. 👍
Thanks for watching!
eventhough I trade only the Indian markets, I have been following him a lot and he's my favorite trader.
awesome
Just wondering why the Indian markets ?
does he buy options or stocks for his swing trades.
Dam good. Awesome content just like Matt's previous interview with Richard 2 years back. Great going Richard. Thank you. Jai Shri Ram 🙏
Thanks!
Thank you for speaking in R multiples!! When people say I made 30% from the buy point you have no clue where their risk was
Help a new trader out…what is the “R”?
It is your risk multiple. For example if you risk $10 and make $20 you just made 2R. Or if you risk $100 and make $300 you just made a 3R profit. @@bradenwalker6141

All or nothing strategies require perfection, otherwise there will always be a "nothing" outcome.

Great Interview ! TY Matt and TL team!
Thanks!
Nice interview...
Thanks
Awesome. My portflio just went up by 20%.
Good to hear!
Thank you Matt for sharing your valuable knowedge. It definitely answered my wonder. Also thanks Richard for your great channel
No problem!
Great stuff. Also like the chart layout and colors very different from the basic red/green stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great info, thanks to both of you guys !
No problem!
Very helpful as usual
i loved the interview ..
Glad you liked it!
Excellent video presentation. In bull markets, I position trade ETFs in the strongest sectors. In choppy, and bear markets, I am mainly in cash until QQQ can recover above the rising 20-day EMA line. Does anyone in North America trade the ASX Australia stock market? I don't know of any trader or investor that does. I have never looked back since some years ago only exclusively trading the U.S. market.
I haven't, but I'm sure there are some awesome Aussie traders! Glad you enjoyed the interview!
Great enlighting content Matt, i ll be following youfrom now
Awesome
Amazing.... priceless knowledge
Matt did a great job!
Valuable stuff Richard
Thanks!

That's a great question for next time he's on. Or you can ask him on Twitter/X: x.com/theEquilibrium
It'd be nice to know if the person on interview has been financially verified as profitable. As in they pay their bills with their trading earnings.
This was excellent, thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What platform does he trade on? What other tools, software or not, does he use? Thanks for your videos!
Great info. Thank you guys. Just a question: what is 50bps position size as a percentage of the account? Got a little confused.
Thanks again!
% of account. He's trying to risk less than half a percent per trade.
This guys is legit!!!
‼️‼️‼️
Great interview! Will you please ask Matt if he would hold or sell a position when an earning report is coming up?
Depends on how much profit cushion you have. If you're profits are larger than the expected move (and you're a position trader) you can hold through earnings.
@@TraderLion thank you!
Such great content
Thank you
I hope you interview people from all over the world, not just people in the USA. For example Türkiye or India. There are great traders in these countries too
We recently interviewed people from Greece, India ... If you have trader suggestions let us know
Matt, do you use options or just cash/spot underlying, and do you hedge countertrend retracement?
What other interview or video on position trading do you have?
Plenty! Many with legendary investors Stan Weinstein, Jim Roppel, and many other CANSLIM styled traders.
@@TraderLion thank you
Dumb question. What is this R? He takes first partial at 1-1.5R.
No dumb questions! By R he means Risk as the % from his entry to his stop. If you’re risking 3% on the trade and the stock moves up 4.5% from your entry they say that’s 1.5R.
Really good video (as always)! I don’t get the point when Mat says 10R o 5R, can anyone explain? Does he means that 1R is every 1$ risk, every 1$ profit? I don’t understand
1R has to do with risk. Say you set your stop at 4%, then 4% is equal to 1R. So, 2R is 8%. I learned this from Van Tharpe.
Thank you, that’s clear now
@minfultradingsolutions nailed it!
Thank you!
Welcome!
When Matt talks about "R" what does he mean? Is it percentage return?
R multiples
R the multiplier refer to risk/stop. For example, he takes his first partial at 1-1.5R where R = risk/stop set at 2% for example. So Matt takes initial profit at 2% (1R) or 3% (1.5R) profit .
@@prettybird8942 Thanks!
You should do a dark background on the videos. The white one puts way too much strain on the eyes
Noted!
is Matt verified profitable?
will head back to watch if verifed.
We’ve not verified any results from Matt, he’s a great trader and educator.
a 10% stock gain is huge... waiting for 100% can lead to a loss (- return over longer time) (if you win,hey, you won)
Once you have a gain of 10-20% (depending on your timeframe) you shouldn't allow that stock to stop you for a loss. Get your stops to even/in the money!
What Matt says comes only from a lot of real trading experience
Definitely
Good talk, but way too much repetition of each point
Repetition is good!
