Factor Member Webinar and Q&A with Peter Brandt - Recorded live July 8, 2022Opening discussion/presentation by PeterLive questions from Members
How likely do you think the Bitcoin bottom is in? Do you think we are missing a bottoming pattern? 2:23
Do you change your position size going into major events? How about adding to the position if the news goes in your favor? What events are most important? 7:30
Can you recommend sources of online commentaries and analysis on the fundamentals of agricultural commodities, esp. grains (supply, demand, plantings, etc.)? 10:43
Have you ever met a successful day trader in your career? By day trader, I mean someone who gets in the market at open and is flat by closing. 14:49
How will you manage EUR-USD with today's doji reversal? 16:58
Could you please discuss the seeming paradox of aggressively mitigating risk on a per position basis, while also staying steady even through drawdowns on an account value basis? 20:31
Does palladium look like it broke out today? 27:23
Can I get a quick comment on the weekly breakouts in USD/PLN and USD/ZAR? 28:43
If you have a loser much bigger than your avg loser, would you close a parallel winning position in parallel, which can compensate the loser? Even if this winning trade runs good. I think in terms of preserving NAV as key metric. 31:11
Has your portfolio backtested your approach? Thinking more in terms of correlation risk on a portfolio and position sizing optimization rather than entry/exit etc. 32:25
I find I get chopped up with stops (both entry and exit) on the back months for futures. My background is trading a CTA where we trade on close of each market and do so manually as I manage to add positive slip by doing so. But we always trade front month. Do you have any advice on how to trade the less liquid months? 39:27
Could you please walk through the diamond setup in European carbon credits? 42:48
Please address the topic of taking signals from smaller continuation patterns from within a 'strong trend' that has already lasted a good length (historically) and could be tired? 45:04
Do you see any signs of bottoming in biotech? Xbi? 48:00
Can you review your methodology of placing stops for an initial BO entry and then how to move them up on a trailing basis? 49:23
When setting an exit stop on a long position, do you subtract the same percentage of ATR from a key chart point as you do with your entry stops, or do you use a different percentage of ATR? 56:25
Latest thoughts on AUDUSD? 56:57
Can you comment on what you're looking for before entering a short on Soybeans, Soybean Meal, and Canadian Dollars? 59:12
