Risk vs Time a challenge

Hello MarkBrown,

I do not believe the ET Members understand the high level of trading you are referring to and expectations and outcome of what trading looks like.

I notice a lot of ET Members seriously are cutting themselves short of their potential. It is not their fault, it is the trading education out there, that is VERY misleading.

But if you talk to much, you have no Edge left to yourself. lol

 

that's exactly the dilemma, make too much conversation and you lose your edge. prove something to someone lose your edge. it's kinda fun and profitable to remain the village idiot. plus you don't get so muddy rolling around with the swine.

 

Hello MarkBrown,

EXACTLY!!!!!! That is why I keep VERY VERY quite. ET is for entertainment and bragging.

I am not telling or showing NOONE nothing!!!!! EVERRRRRR, EVER!!!!!

EVER!!!! No comments, no suggestions, no recommendation, no nothing. I need ALL my edge. Every letter of the word Edge I need to myself to get filthy rich.

You are better off lying to traders, then telling the truth!!!

If you tell everyone your edges or suggestions, how will you get your orders filled?? Goldman Sach never help traders.

 

Kindred spirits who found each other.

 

If you are talking trade vs investment then you can increase the holding period and almost eliminate randomness all together.

 

I understand your point. Just want to check do you usually stick with micros or jump to standard lots once you're confident?

 

i bang the crap out of micro's, test any crazy idea i have and know it can survive the mini.

i live by the saying my mentor told me "son we only trade real money here" so if you have a great idea it better be really good.

 

And why do you assume people on Elite Trader want to know your edge?

 

Love the mindset! What's the craziest idea you tested so far?

 

i'm off the deep end with this idea right now - it's kase range bars where i am tracking the volume of every point vs the time it takes to make that point. also tracking the overlap of the bars and found that when the overlap is small it trends and when the overlap is large it's chopping.

as you can see there is alot more going on as well, i could talk all day. i do this thrashing while waiting out longer term trades. i for one like experiencing everything in trading, so i have test accounts all over with many firms. that way i'm not stale, in a rut. i did all this manually yesterday, and was still bored.
