Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    For a stock with a daily range of $2 the RR would be low except for the first two cases, and even then for the gain to be significant a large part of the daily range would need to be captured for winning trades. To make that capital really work several stocks would need to be traded each day if conventional RR thinking is employed.

    A problem with a larger trading account would be getting orders filled to create larger positions. Thats definately the case with my current broker.

    You want the answer.?

    "The truth, you can't handle the truth"
    Jack Nicholson

    You want the answer and not how to
    figure the answer out.
    NPR, said the universe is actually accelerating.
    Now I know why people want
    A quick answer.
    Faster computers.
    HFT trading.
    Faster cars.
    I want to be at the head of the line.
    You have been reading this thread for years
    and you haven't figured nothin out. :eek:

    A hahaha. You want the trade with no fear, the trade
    that you make and you get sick, and feel like throwing up.
    You want the trade that goes up, or down,
    the night you can't sleep because you know you fucked up.
    The money, the blown out account, the fear, the stress,
    that eats away until you get used to it,
    or you just stop, with no money and ulcers,
    and the realization that you will be homeless, from a margin call.
    Oh you want that trade?

    Oh, and you want TO to give you the answer.?
    WTF, and that isn't coded.

    And yet the answer is so simple, I mentioned it before, here it is again.

    Most traders lose money, and in order to make money, just do the opposite of what you do right now.

    But it MUST be EXACT opposite.

    Break down.
    I had a mini one reading this and the box.
    I don't know, it messed me up.
    Now I am rebuilding.
    That's how you do it.
    And stop the whining question, oh TO,
    I NEED THE ANSWER.
    It shows that you are a whiner.
