    Can I bet against your consistency?
    One day, one loss, one die.

    It's like too big too fail.
    One day your holding is so toxic,
    That you don't want to take your loss.
    Then luck again ... Margin call and Bye bye.

    Be careful bro'.

    How ?
    By discovering and fixing errors.
    Both Metaphysically and Physically.
    The maestro has a predominant weight.
    Then comes the system, then the underlying.
    However are discard all books about psychology.

  3. margin call just means small liquidation of one position. No big deal. I'm so small I think I can survive the destruction of the euro. I'm always 50% long and 50% short the dollar (or slowly trying to get there). Not for beginners who need adrenilen and monthly profits. I trade both with and against the trend at the speed of a turtle with no stops. I wish I would have started where I ended up. And the main reason I semi retired was because I really like trading, but I no longer can endure the risk I was taking with serious money. 2015 was good to me and that looked like a good time to make a change. The change was very hard because at first I just started taking smaller losses and smaller profits and that set me back quite a ways. Finally I realized I could trade so small I wouldn't even need stops. But that's the catch 22, I make really good consistent money now, but that is because I can risk it all. Couldn't take that risk before when I was young.

    don't confuse no stops with no loss. I take my loss, but it has nothing to do with where the market is trading
