    I found this amusing, but I think in ways the competition is within oneself to conquer weaknesses. LOL, 35%, some methods I have developed, WOW WOW 35% would be incredible but really unattainable, am always too early, sometimes by years. So I had to learn ways to seldom lose on overall positions, and this takes years, least for me. Has nothing to do with a psychology weakness of not being able to take a loss, it has to do with equity curve.

    Just too stressful for aiming for high percentage win rates, think design by smoothness of equity curve, concentrating on drawdown and lower losing overall.

    It's funny when I first started so long ago, profits and winning percentages mattered most and now they are not even in the top 50 stats considered.

    We all drawn into markets for different reasons and why I believe "edge" changes as our times expands.
