That is a 500% gain in the stock. But in a trade, it is a 100% win rate. Why are you people being daft?
Whatever. The point is about win-rate. You cannot have an absolute win rate over 100%. Unless you had a time machine? FFS. Pfffhhht.
Sorry IMO your index card makes no sense for trading and I am not sure that it would help anyone. OTOH Brooks stuff is very useful if one has a mind to learn what he teaches.
Yes, of the Chapters of Brooks first Book I've read, I'm certainly not throwing it away. I am incorporating some of it into The World's Greatest Swing Trading Strategy (TM).
Friend, it does not matter in the end. You're either driving a lambo (or slinging several planes / chopperz), or you're reloading your account OVER AND OVER! If you turn this into a calculus problem and take the limit as time approaches infinity, you quickly discover there are only two outcomes: 1. Financial Independence, due the compounding nature of consistent winningz 2. Insanity from blowing up again and again. Are there any members on this site who seem to be going crazy? Their win rate is too low, obviously!
