  2. A clear mind and excellent physical health: maintain and guard these closely. That would be my advice, especially the mind. Most people forgo the opportunity to learn without realizing it. It is easy to spot the losers here by their sacred cows. The psychopaths are the ones who encourage them. But who cares, really. Money comes and goes. It is the time spent gaining or losing that is gone forever. Trading is not life or death. Enjoy the game or find something else to do.

  4. True. If you are going to trade might as well accept it head on.

    Well said. :)

  5. So you would advocate a random entry method, as long as one carefully manages risk??

  7. You people are not very precise. That will kill you as a trader. You said ALL methodologies could work as long as risk was properly managed. To me this implies that risk management is the deciding factor in the success of any system.

    Sorry, I just asked a question. No need to flip out.
