Defintely not. I was just trying to point out that "trying to get better entries" is rather idealistic with no quantifiable method. Do you know...
increasing risk can be accomplished by increasing size, but not necesarily. risk can also be increased by placing stops further our, or risk...
Take it to the Yahoo stock boards. I'm sure you will find conversation of a more compatible intelectual level there.
^^ Another clown that shoots off his mouth before taking the time to read or understand. Again, increasing risk does nor necesarily imply...
You have obviously not taken the time to digest the ideas posted in this thread. You can "dig yourself in a hole" just as easily, or probably...
Ok clear, I entirely endorse that idea ... increasing "real risk" after a loss is a good strategy, we agree :) Yes, this is the point of the...
if you lose 20 pips 5 consecutive times, you now need 100 pip JUST TO BREAK EVEN, and only if you maintain same trade size. Furthermore, if you do...
See post on page 6 at 10-18-06 10:05 PM If you "forget the last trade in regards to its P&L" after a loss, your net profit will be...
To illustrate your example, you will have to be more precise. If you maintain costant size of trade, you are using proportionaly larger size...
The principle here is that "gains must not only be larger that accumulated losses, but gains must also be accumulated at a faster rate that...

Anything can work until it doesn't. Many accounts have been blown using all sorts of different technics. If I were loking for a gaurantee of some...
My model places stop distance in consideration of volatility calculations (higher volatility = further stops & proportionaly smaller size to...
Again, let us clarify something; RISK CAN BE INCREASED WITHOUT INCREASING SIZE OF TRADE. Risk can also be determined by stop distance.
One of the principles on which my system is built is that I assume I don't know where the market is going to go. I have a simple technical method...
Also, just to give you an idea of what my model can, and has, sustained, this summer I had 16 consecutive losses on gbp/jpy and came out with an...
My model involves increasing risk after a losing trade proportionaly to the increase of a volatility range. Therefore, for example, if I risk 0.2%...
Increasing risk does not necessarily imply increasing size. There are 2 ways to increase absolute risk, and risk can also be analysed in % terms...
Also, "trade the set up" if you may .. that has nothing to do with your risk. Don't confuse technical set up or direction with measurable risk....
