ES expected_move
The speaker suggests that buying S&P's at the current level and setting a stop at the one standard deviation expected move is a consistent way to manage risk. The expected move for ES is $274, which is a 5% move. If the market does not break down this expected move, the trade should be cut bait. This approach is based on the idea that markets are cyclical and that trades can turn around, so it's important to have a clear stop-loss level to avoid emotional decisions.
