Increasing Dollar Size

Author: Ryan Mallory February 19, 2025 Duration: 20:55

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.

Hosted by Ryan Mallary, Swing Trading the Stock Market is a straightforward podcast focused on the practical discipline of holding positions for days or weeks to capture price moves. The core philosophy is built on a non-negotiable foundation: consistent risk management is the only path to longevity and success. Episodes delve into the mechanics of this approach, breaking down how to analyze charts, identify potential setups, and, most critically, where and when to exit a trade to preserve capital. The conversation always circles back to the essential rules-prioritizing risk above all else and keeping losses contained-because, as the show emphasizes, protecting your downside is what allows profits to accumulate naturally over time. This isn’t about get-rich-quick schemes or frantic day-trading; it’s a methodical look at navigating market swings with a clear-eyed strategy. Listeners will hear specific analysis, reviews of real trading psychology, and actionable insights aimed at building a more resilient and deliberate process. The tone is direct and encouraging, rooted in the belief that a disciplined framework is accessible to any trader who commits to the fundamentals. For those engaged in the daily grind of the markets, this podcast serves as a regular reminder that in the business of investing, the smartest trade is often the one that prevents a large loss.
