To date in the money management series, we have explored the founding principles of money management. Risk Analysis, Reward Analysis, Trade Management, Drawdown, Accuracy Rates and Performance Analysis. We talked about Strategies and the need to find an edge to the market, or a bias, and to massage that bias.

Now let’s switch gears a bit, and build on the foundation of money management when it comes to trading. We’ll do that by talking about your account size.

The reason we trade, is to make money.

The reason we make money, is to have an income.

So what are reasonable expectations when it comes to trading? What sort of income can you expect? What should you remember when you hear that a trader had a $2500 trade? How much money should you take home to live on?

I offer my experience and thoughts on the subject, in the following vlog . . .

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 …

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.

The second lesson of two on interest rates, why they are so important to the stock market and to traders and investors in the stock, futures, and forex markets with an introduction to the Federal Reserve.

In yesterday’s lesson we began our discussion on Monetary Policy with a look at one of its primary components, interest rates. In today’s lesson we are going to continue this discussion with another look at how interest rates affect the economy and therefore the markets, and by introducing the institution which implements Monetary Policy, the Federal Reserve.

As we saw in our example yesterday, small movements in interest rates can have dramatic effects on the economy. Just as small changes in interest rates can dramatically increase the costs for individuals to own a home or borrow money to purchase other goods, they can also have a dramatic affect on the cost of doing business.

It is for this reason that when interest rates rise, making borrowed money more costly, that people will also be less likely to start or expand a business. This not only has an effect on the business owner themselves but filters throughout the entire economy as less businesses being started and expanded means less jobs, which means less people getting paychecks, which means less people spending money and on and on down the line. The opposite is of course also true for when interest rates fall and business owners take advantage of access to cheaper borrowed money.

In addition to interest rates affecting the stock market, interest rates also have direct and indirect affects on the bond, foreign exchange, and futures markets. Here are a couple of quick examples of this which we will expand on in later lessons:

The Bond Market: When interest rates rise the value of existing bonds fall as investors can now purchase the same bond with a higher interest rate and vice versa.

The Forex Market: When Interest rates it becomes more attractive from a yield standpoint to own the dollar against other currencies or to invest in interest bearing dollar based assets. This creates a demand for dollars which will many times cause the dollar to strengthen. The reverse is also true when interest rates fall.

The Commodities Market: When economies grow at a greater rate as a result of lower interest rates this will mean a greater demand for commodities so their value will rise and vice versa.
