  2. The dream of winning powerball jackpot is sweet. I have it too.

    Suggest you learn some Italian words after winning the jackpot, like Ferrari, Lambergini, Armani, Gucci......

    In reality that plan is a little too simple but a well thought out plan, with entry and exit criteria, risk control and money management strategies, is what separates the 5% from the 95%.

    Oldtime makes light of it but I would guess that 95% of the 5% have a trading plan that they consistently follow.

    Becuase the 5% they win a lot and the other 95% they lose a little.
