The concept of R-multiples was introduced by Dr. Van Tharp.R stands for your unit of risk — specifically, how much you’re willing to lose on a trade if your stop loss is hit.Examples:🔹A -1R trade means you lost your planned risk amount.🔹A +4R trade means you made 4 times what you initially risked.Personally, I like to define R as a percentage of my account.1R is 1R. The percentage stays the same.The value increases as my account grows.Why thinking in R-multiples helps your trading:🔹It shifts your focus to risk vs reward, helping you evaluate trades more objectively.🔹It forces risk management — you can’t use R without knowing your risk in advance.🔹It makes losses psychologically easier to handle: most losing trades will just cost you 1R or less.🔹It helps you focus on consistency and process

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ Although a 5% pullback is anticipated, it’s expected to be a buyable dip—setting up the final leg higher toward 6,500. This aligns with the 61.8% extension of Wave 3 + the upper boundary of the 2021–2025 trendline.Both primary wave counts then suggest a significant top, with a likely retest of the 5,000 level (a 20–25% correction). The more bearish scenario opens the door for a deeper drawdown, potentially revisiting the 2023 low—implying a 45–60% correction.In either case, treat the coming dip as a multi-month swing trade, not a long-term buying opportunity. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$$E-mini S&P 500 - main 2509(ESmain)$

People are questioning this waste… what did he do in response? Start a new war front, as soon as many American Presidents before him. Think Afghanistan… who had equipped them? Then, came the infamous 9-11, which resulted in US war with them. Then came the Iraqi war, where US justified their invasion based on fake informat
