This conversation features Markus Gabel (@MarkusGabel) from Dowhow Trading (@dowhowtrading8448), who brings a unique neuroscience-based approach to trading education that challenges conventional wisdom about risk management and trading psychology.
Key Highlights:
- The 6% Holy Number: Why losing more than 6% of your account creates a mathematical disadvantage that triggers emotional gambling behavior.
- Neuroscience Over Psychology: Why understanding how your brain's prefrontal cortex works matters more than traditional trading psychology or "mindset" coaching.
- Ultra-Conservative Position Sizing: Risking only 0.2-0.3% per trade to avoid the emotional spiral that destroys most traders.
- The Five Magic Questions: How answering “what, how, when, where, and why” before each trade keeps decisions logical.
- Trend Following vs Day Trading: Two distinct approaches – pure trend following on 4H-daily charts and structured day trading on 2–5 minute timeframes.
- The Multitasking Myth: Scientific evidence that multitasking doesn’t exist and why traders need complete focus.
- Physical Rule Systems: Forcing students to print, laminate, and physically check off trading rules before entering positions.
- The Penguin Factor: Exercise to find your personal pain threshold – the dollar loss that makes you trade emotionally.
- 20-Second Focus Limit: How the brain can only maintain focus for 20 seconds and its implications for trading execution.
