SPX Has Topped For The Year Or Pabst Will Leave ET

Discussion in 'Trading' started by Pabst, Sep 30, 2006.

  1. Sorry Pabst. Your call was wrong. However, I don't have anything to gain from you leaving this forum. Perhaps you can instead use this as a good example of why money management is so important.

    The equivalent trade to making this kind of call on the SPX and laying your fate on it would be to bet your entire account on a single trade. Nobody can expect to be 100% correct every time. Trading, or making forum calls, in such a way as to require it to remain in existence is not wise. Whatever system you use to make your calls should be backtested and Monte-Carlo simulated to give you a good idea of your probability of ruin. Adjust your amount at risk based on that and your likely worst drawdown. Most importantly, never make a bet, or place a trade, that can bankrupt you.

  2. Who the fuck cares? The point of this place is to debate and shoot the breeze. The "playground justice" shit is ridiculous and boring.

  6. Yes, what Deepfried said.

    I don't understand what pabst' trading method is. I'm sure he knows much more about it than I. He has made it this far and that's better than 99% of most everyone that's ever been on ET.

    Come on back pabst. It's only trading for g sakes.
