[00:00] Acá Nico FX me pregunta, ¿cuánto estás arriesgando en esta operación? Mirá Nico, yo en esta operación, como en todas las operaciones, siempre arriesgo el 1%, nunca arriesgo más del 1%. De esta manera, sé que lo máximo que puedo llegar a perder en esta operación es solo el 1% de mi capital.
[00:18] Además, aplico solo la estrategia una vez al día, así se da, arriesgo solo el 1% y de esta manera mantengo mis cuentas vivas durante todos estos años que vengo tradeando. Antes de hacer esto era una apuesta, literal, capaz que arriesgaba el 50%, perdía y ya había perdido la mitad de mi cuenta, o sea, era insostenible.
[00:36] Pero bueno, la regla del 1% y una operación al día me ha servido muchísimo. Eso fue un antes y un después en el trading para mí.
