    Value is a derivative of trend and volatility
    Once we know the bias and the variance,
    We can start making value bets,
    Aka … informed trades ?
    Buy Low / Sell High.

  3. Interesting, but not surprising?

    What’s surprising is how few people seem to appreciate that widening stop-losses to increase win-rates very often reduces overall profits.

    Let's see

    Took 1,700 :/
    Well the initial risk was 250,
    And profit came fast .. Didn’t want it to disappear fast.

    That’s a 6:1 Reward to Risk.

    But still … The more I think the less I make.

  5. Well done!

    I know what you mean, but that function is maybe one of those supply-side elasticity things like the Laffer curve, isn’t it: goes up, up to a point, and then down again?

    You can certainly over-think, counterproductively; but at the lower end, if you don’t think at all, then you also don’t make anything at all?

    I mean the thinking has to be done outside of trading.
    Here I thought this and that seeing the PA in live,
    And usually I lose money when I interfere.

    Never heard about Laffer curve ^^
    It's more about the ... Easy come, easy go.

    :D

    95% of traders fail because only 5% recognize they don't know what they're doing.

    After 66 pages and 10 months, I lost track.

    Are you winning?

    Lost the combine last month,
    I am 50% away from passing the 150k.
    Until I have withdrawn 50k from TST I am losing.

    I think I lost 30k trading in total,
    So I am still down 30k.

    With the 50k from TST,
    I’ll be up 20k.

    Let’s see.

    Kaufman doesn't go into trading the M1 and M5 which are the key daytrader timeframes. 95% of the books are a waste of time, better used for backtesting.
