Day Two — Stardate -317683.49 Today, was difficult. What should have been realized profits, were killed by an oversight.. I had thought I entered 1 lot, but the system was set to 0.5 lots. I only caught this after 50% of the trades were ...

Best indicator for trend?

The last few times I've shared, all the LEECHES became a burden. "Can you program this for me? Do you have this in MT? Do you have this in plaid? Can I get this in Navy Blue?" The best system in the world + AN IDIOT = losing system. The lack of ...

How come nobody likes to share?

Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle — Thinking outside the box. That's what everybody tells you to do.. But how do you do it? I love watching Star Trek; and one time, I was discussing the "Transporter" and "Beaming" with a friend of mine. "It's ...

Fish vs Fishing — So true.. I have two skills, and that's about it. One is reading quickly, and the other is researchability. I read quickly because I'm a student of reading quickly. I have paid a lot of money to learn to read quickly. I am ...

Millionaires

Question, why are you "picking" anything? You seem to be going the "crystal ball" route of trying to predict reversals etc.. That to me, is a bad thing. Top and bottom picks will soon be cotton pickers. As for Money Management, a "working" model is ...

Risk Management..let's get something going here....

Martingale is when you double down after you lose. We call that "Averaging down". Only Losers Average Losers. You will die a horrible death when you keep doing that. <q></q> Note though, that betting Kelly has a high probability of 1 of two things: ...

Risk Management..let's get something going here....

OK, I'm going to change my tune here and encourage everybody to average down. The reason is, first, obviously my plea for most to NEVER average down, doesn't work; some people seem to even infer that I'm the stupid one for not averaging down. So yes ...

Increasing size on a loosing position

Depends on your MM goals. Do you want to "maximize profit"?? if so, that's easy, Kelly Formula. Do you want to mitigate risk? That's easy, buy a 30-year T-Bill and forget about it. Or do you want to do something inbetween? Then that's difficult..

Risk Management..let's get something going here....

Personality and finding a system that is a hand-in-glove fit, is critical. Take a look at a classroom; teacher teaching the same thing; some kids get 100% on their test, some get an F. Same teacher, same material, same text book. The PERSON has more ...
