#7168-7170: How To Properly Scale Up Small Account Trading

I hope you watched this important video here from yesterday as I had to give some tips to some trading challenge students who are making more money than they ever have before and trying to deal with it LOL and also correct some BS lies from promoters.

In today's video lesson, I highlight some other top students right now, especially Mariana my top female trading challenge student, whose interview HERE you should definitely watch and whose tweet here should help put A LOT of things into perspective about why it's SO good to trade small at first and then scale up on position size AFTER you master a setup...BUILD YOUR KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION FIRST!

I will scale up over time... I won a few trades in the beginning, didn't understand risk and lost. I have a set risk now and will only size up when ready. Which is not yet. Back to the books...
