A short trading-advice clip by Kardec Trader advising traders to evaluate performance by percentage gains and R-multiple (risk multiple) instead of raw dollar profitability. The speaker emphasizes that identical percentage returns yield very different dollar amounts across account sizes, and cautions smaller-account traders not to judge profitability solely by dollar outcomes but by percentage/R metrics.
Instead of looking at your dollar gains of how much you're making on a dollar by dollar basis, look at it from percent gains. Or look at it from our multiple point of view. How should I look at my trades from a risk perspective or a percentage view? Because think about it. You can make 10% on $1,000. That's $100, right? Doesn't sound a lot on $1,000 account. Now imagine you make 10% on a hundred thousand dollars account. Now you made $10,000. Same percentage, just different account sizes. But once again, if you have a smaller account, don't say I'm not profitable because I have a smaller account. No, focus on the percentage gains and focus on the R multiple instead of the dollar value.
