When you have a profitable trade, what do you do with the money that was earned on the swing trade? Do you re-invest it in another new position immediately, or do you cash out the gains for personal use, or perhaps even transfer it to a long-term account? In this podcast episode, Ryan tackles the question of making the next-right decision in one's trading and resisting the urge to have to "do-something" with the profits earned.
As a follow up on last week's podcast episode where Ryan talked about increasing position sizes, this week, he talks about increasing the dollar size of swing-trades when the value of the account increases as well. Does the dollar amount change with each trade, or does the percentage amount change? In this episode, Ryan details how he manages position size as his portfolio increases and decreases.
