    Proof that you are not real.

    Bombastic shit, man.

    Like in @schizo's "What was your a-ha moment" thread, @SimpleMeLike had his "a-ha" moment? o_O

    I had my "a-ha" after I re-read the thread "Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious" in early 2023 when I decided to try day trading again.

    You got out while the trade was losing, by definition you "stop" loss? o_O

  7. Hello ironchef,

    Forget all that fancy talk.

    Did you see @Buy1Sell2 say nearly 1000 times over the last 10 years that risk management is the ONLY edge.

    I follow what he says in my trading and know how much loss is too much loss for me too take, then exit the trade for a loss.

    Prudent Risk Management is the only true edge in trading.
