Being down 10% is blowing up? That's an ultra conservative definition of blowing up. I figured you would have had to lose at least half your money to consider it blowing up....
after losing and winning many times in trading you become immune to both ... you don't get happy for gains that much and you don't get sad for losses that much either .. actually that is good since you don't need feelings like that much in trading
Reminds me of when B&B created a thread about sucking at trading, then once he has peoples attetnion begins to brag about how well he is doing.
Forget about me, man. When are you going to sell your stuff? Your system is fail-safe I hear. Just buy and hold, ey?
stock_trad3r, There is a BullShip press that will publish anything; give T.S. a call he may publish your book...
It sounds like you got bored and took a trade outside of your system. I certainly wouldn't recommend compounding directly, but I would think about increasing size a bit. It would help keep you from taking trades outside your plan. Trade as small as you can that you still care about it. Maybe every time you double your account you add 25% to your size. Something conservative like that. I understand what you said about diminishing returns from increased size, but I can't imagine you 25k you would see much decrease for quite awhile.
TS in this case is referring to Timmay Sykes the Milli Vanilli of hedge funds. TS can also refer to TradeStation.
yeah like 4 20% monthly return in a row made me feel that way too till i got schooled when i was trying to shoot for 50%
