Yes, you keep believing that posting trades on a website will prove anything to someone. It is so ludicrous that only people that don't trade could possibly say that, and only newbies would believe you. One day you will actually have money on the line and you will remember these posts and you may learn something from them. Or maybe you won't... No, what you mistake nervousness and hostility is something you have never experienced in your life - an unwavering dedication to truth wherever it takes you, even when it takes you to talking to morons like you about posting trades on a website as some sort of proof of anything. nitro
Professional traders aren't worried about their upside because good traders know they are going to get their share most of the time once they do their research and have concluded that a market has been deemed tradeable and they have understood the statistical implications of their system/style. === This is what we are talking about, no? "Get their share"... their share is 1 point. Is that 'share' too small for the eminis? Is that what you are saying? Good traders are worried about keeping their downside in check at all times... === Yes, money management is the only reason my average, though robsust systems churn out excellent returns... Agree that is the key. Now if trading to capture the most you can... and that turns out to be 1 point... What methods are used to manage the risks? Money management - positon sizing? Stops? fixed or varible Nitro I agree with what you're saying, with this topic, I just changed the objective. Instead taking what the market gives you... can you take 'theoretically' less (1 point) and with leverage and good money mangement end up much further ahead of the typical swing trader?
I only have to go by what you write. You wrote that the only way to prove it would be to post trades in realtime on a website. That was enough to sentence you to the moron pile. nitro
It is fine to talk theoretically about these things. Every trader when he decides that he may be interested in a market does this research before any other to see if the possibility for profits warrants the risk. But the way your present your evidence is suspect at best. I have been on this website 4 years. That is almost a quarter of your life, or at least your mental life. How many people like you do you think I have seen in those four years? You don't trade SIFs profitably - that is your lie. Now, I bid you adiux because you are going in the moron pile. nitro
have a good night then! can we antagonize each other again tomorrow----that was fun! i never get that with my wife, she is too mellow.
Nitro, Gee, thanks for adding me to your moron pile. And oh, thanks for adding so much to this thread. It's kind of funny the more money you make and the more trading sucess you have... the bigger you smile when someone calls you a moron... ====== Macro, thanks for the charts... the ratio system you have is intriguing but far to tedious. It's good to have you in the moron pile too
protrader-------- the only thing humans can do right 100% of the time--is fail. so we are all in the moron pile, there are no exceptions to that-----no one perfect around here.
