The Man who Solved the Market. "Jim Simons is a leading mathematician and investor who this year appeared on the Forbes list of U.S. billionaires, ranking 48th, and with a net worth of $29 billion. Simons’ investment strategy is based on identifying and finding patterns in the market, i.e. movements that repeat over time, so that they become predictable.

In order to be successful in trading, it doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong when placing a trade. What does matter is that when you are wrong, you lose a little bit and when you are right, you maximize your gains. Why do most traders (especially day traders) lose? They don't have prudent risk management skills. End of Story. Now, a lot of folks may say, "but the newbie trader doesn't know how to pick entries and exits". While that may be true for some, the real issue is that when they are wrong, they stay married to a position, or add to a position in order to not admit failure. Your best bet would be to learn to embrace failure, learn to shrug it off, learn to admit when wrong and learn to stay in trades that are winners. You see, Prudent Risk Management is not just about placing an initial stop---it's also about managing a winning trade. Remove the focus from high winning percentage. Retrain focus on losing a little and making a lot.
I'm not so sure about that. Firstly are we talking about years of experience or just the same experience repeated for years? And do greater numbers really count? Are you talking about herd or mob mentality? I keep hearing that the crowd is usually wrong.
Go back.10 years..I have contributed more than your likes and posts combined ... But asking for free setups and and being impatient you have gotten anything within 24 hours is just naive to what it takes to be successful
It's about principles and the discussion based on principles, NOT about giving away free Setups etc. All you did was stifle discussion.
