    Well that just goes to show you;
    cutting a loss as a trader /invester, does not make one a loser.Thats what winners do

    Tough business, trendy business;
    wisdom is profitable to direct:cool:

  2. You are not a trader, you are an investor. It is easy to make money as an investor. Trading however is at best a zero sum. Mathematics is profitable to use, and hard to argue with. :cool:

    ??? somebody entering the market at random times long or short randomly, will be break-even if you skip the spreads/commissions.. i tried this on about 5 years of EUR/USD. just run it a few times, and the average balance will be break-even.

    some brokers actually take the opposite position of their loosing clients because they're constantly worse than a random system :)

  5. And you're not? Risking 1000x. Risk is the numerator.

  7. Did I ever say otherwise?

    In the absence of spread/commissions, any trader will mathematically break even in the long run, that's precisely what I have been trying to explain.

    You are right, but betting against the client via stop hunting techniques (among other things...) is another entirely different subject that has nothing to do with random trading.

    If Joe Six Pack is constantly losing money, that does mean that betting against Joe Six Pack will me make money.

    Still not convinced?

    Look at it this way: If betting on Black at the roulette is a losing proposition in the long run, that does not mean that betting on RED is a winning proposition, and vice versa.

  8. Your use of vulgarity not only discredit everything your claim, you just show everyone your pitiful level of intelligence.

    You sounded like a follower, blindly following without a brain of your own. Maybe your mother forgot that you ever need one.

    Yeah, hold on to your hope, keep believing… :)

  9. Why would you even bother to join this thread if you think it's so dumb?

    Clearly everyone on the thread is a lot smarter than you are.

    Name calling & use of vulgarity simply show that you can't converse intelligently & it makes you look really stupid.

    Now, go back to your mama. :)
