    Ya, I don't care too much about valuations.
    Many think stock fundamentals is all about annual report type accounting numbers, that doesn't figure with me too much as I tend to trade speculative stocks, new issues, emerging companies, explorers.

    I don't think I mentioned a 5 minute chart. I look at daily and weekly charts.

  3. It was hyperbole.

  4. Valuation is misunderstood by most market participants (even many fund managers/analysts). This is because the driver of multiples (valuation itself) is macro-driven (and most analysts, and many fund managers, are micro focused). You can't look at today's multiple and make a judgement on value -- it's like using charts to trade.

  6. You are confusing elegance with simplicity. Trading is not simple. Good trading is elegant.

    I'm easily confused. That's why I try and keep it as simple as possible.

    OP assumes 2% capital for each trade, and win half of that on avaerage.
    So OP assumes day traders make 50% profit on each trade and never make losing trade. What a joke.
