  5. I think you'll find that if you reread my post you'll see I never said that.

  6. I don't think leverage changes the risk/reward skew. The ratio remains the same.

    If one is accurate forcasting their win rate ,the compounded return of the account will have an optimal ratio of profit target vs stop loss..

    Of course it's theoretical,but if one is accurate,its has a major impact on returns and outperformance..

  8. Well from what I am seeing you don't need as much information as you may think to reach the level you're speaking of, referring to the trading of equity future's contracts which is all I trade. Totally can appreciate the more high quality information you have, particularly hard math or even fundamental analysis is helpful and I do use some forms of that and am always looking to improve. With that said there is a lot of information just in a blank chart and pure pa movement, that can allow for sizable edges, if you're in tuned and know what to look for.

  9. It doesn't go without saying for other people though, at least that's not what I inferred or understood by others questions and comments. If you're just trying to help me broaden my horizons that's appreciated. But your statement is basically just repeating what I was saying or at least was trying to say.

    It's a much easier and consistent path to learn and use high quality TA generally speaking. That was my whole point if you're 100% or mostly fundamentals, it's difficult to be actively day trading it every day, not that it matters if you're making monthly or yearly bank. Unless maybe you're in the extreme minority like the last guy you were mentioning.

  10. Why do you think this is true.
