This one mistake is why you keep losing money trading synthetic indices:



• You stack positions randomly without calculations.
Let me explain 👇

I just closed $9,064 profits on VIX 10. 🔥
I entered this trade earlier and I’ll use it as an example to explain stacking on synthetics.

This is a $454 account balance. At entry, I opened one position and I risked $185 at stop-loss.

°✰ First position:
- Lot size: 20
- Risk: $185
- Target: $1,360

Now notice something important: the risk is what my account balance can handle. With $452 in the account, it can accommodate that $185 stop-loss on the position opened at entry.

Here’s the first rule of stacking:
👉 Don’t over stack at entry.

If price pulls back 50 to 60 percent, your account shouldn’t be wiped because you stacked too heavy. Any position you open at entry must be something your account balance can absorb.

Stacking comes later. You add positions only after price moves into profit and creates specific points (I won’t go into those details here, that’s exclusive). At that stage, you’re stacking with profits, not your balance.

Simple logic:
Positions opened at entry must be what your balance can handle it’s loss.
Additional stacks are only with profits.

That way, your ride is smoother and safer. Easy peasy.

Good luck °✰
