The Art of Betting Big | Elite Traders Lance Breitstein & Kyle Williams on When to Size Up

In this video, I interview 7-figure Trader Kyle Williams, as we go in depth on the topic of Trade Sizing. With a game like Poker, if you bet the same amount on every hand, statistically speaking, you should lose over time as there are more bad hands than good ones. However, if you up the ante during your best hands, your chances of being positive in the long run increase. It’s my belief that this same concept applies to trading, as the best traders make most of their profits from a small fraction of their trades, as they are the best at recognizing when to scale up. In this video, Kyle and I talk about all things trade sizing, from how much to start with, how to scale up, and how to handle the mental roadblocks that come with it. 👉 Follow Kyle's YouTube Channel:    / @kylewilliams3752   ✅ Join my trading course ➡️: https://theonelanceb.com/ 🐂 All free content is sponsored by Clear Street, my broker of choice! https://tinyurl.com/ClearSt-Lance --------------------------------------------- 📱Follow my socials: X: https://x.com/TheOneLanceB Insta:   / lancesmagnumopus   --------------------------------------------- 🎥 My other videos: Why Trading is a Terrible Career:    • Why Trading is a Terrible Career   My $100M Daily Report Card:    • Copy My Trading Report Card That Made Me $...   15 Years of Trading in 15 Minutes:    • 15 Years of Trading Advice in 15 Minutes T...   --------------------------------------------- If you’re new to my channel, my name is Lance Breitstein.
