  1. Apparently all u mofo are not good in math. Let me do the math for u: $500 X 252 trading day = $126,000/year. I don’t know where u from. But that buy a lot of peanuts.

  2. Disagree. Obviously your system/method needs to have an edge, or provide positive expectancy over time. But risk management means a ton over time as well, if not for the simple fact that preserving your money, and compounding from that number, will turn into a much bigger number compared to taking a big loss and compounding from there...

    a 50% loss need a 100% gain to get back to even...

    I get what you mean by Soros and Buffet, when they feel like they have a big edge they aren't afraid to put a lot of chips on the table. That is different than general risk management (limiting losses) through time however.

  4. Typical maths from a beginner's profit luck. Taking a very short sample and multiplying it into a "expected yearly income" thinking every day will be the same.

    Less than a few years is a beginner. The fact that you think after 6 months you are a professional proves that you are a beginner.

  8. Sometimes a beginner know how to trade or know more than someone who spend 10 yrs trading and not making any money because he hasn’t learn anything. I let you marinate that in your brain for a sec.

    nothing new and that's why it already sounds trivial

    most of the people can spend their whole life, not just 10000 hours and will never become a sustainable trader regardless how bad they want it...

    they have no time, no money, no ability, and no talent

    also its not a matter of hours , its a matter of trades.. one has to make imho 100,000 trades (for most this number is beyond reach - they will die sooner ) before expecting to create something looking like a working method

    and also to whom this writing ?

    to the wannabe bozos?

    they have no ability , no trading life experience, to comprehend even these trivialities, especially on current bull market (when they think they are geniuses :) )....

    some day they will mature , but by this time market will clip their wings and their balls ....

    they will become cripples , and you see a lot of those on this forum as well


    so all in all: those who can will figure-out on their own, those who can't will not
