    Tell me about your Uncle Point

    Loook If its working for you, great, but I do suggest you try at least to understand WHY it's working because then it will allow you to make the adjustments that you need to make when it stalls.

    Tell me about your Uncle Point

    Sorry my last example was very unclear, let me give it another go: When I first started trading I traded a system. It didn't take me too long to figure out that some (alot) of my trades just didn't make sense so I stated to become a little more chosey about the trades that I took. Then really...

    Tell me about your Uncle Point

    If you're trading a system, then I can understand where you're coming from. However the more discretionary you get them more variables come into play and therefore the issue isn't as cut and dry. For instance, if I make 10% a month for the first six months everything is great but when I start...

    Yes if things are predictable and linear, but there is no accounting for some eventualities and therefore it depends on ones circumstances.

    Tell me about your Uncle Point

    An "uncle Point" assumes you have a choice, in which case its easy to pick. If you don't have a choice and have to make it happen, then there is no such thing, and it's do or die.

    What happened to the good old days?

    Here's another thing. Why don't they make most, if not all, golf tournaments match play? For goodness stakes its much more entertaining and easier to follow. More skins games would raise the rating too, I'll bet.:confused:

    What happened to the good old days?

    Sports personalities(very few real ones now), in my opinion are entertainers. Look at Dennis Rodman for example. He's a total fool but an interesting one never the less. It seems to me that not long ago sports personalities had something extra. Love them or hate them, back then I had and...

    What happened to the good old days?

    I've noticed over the last ten years or so that sport has all but lost its personalities. Remember tennis in the 70's & 80's when when we had blokes like Connors and McEnroe having fits and what not? Remember back to when Formula 1 wasn't boring, watching Mansell and Senna duel it out...

    Quite right but memories are short, people are encouraged to act like sheep and that's why history repeats.

    Best Two Pairs to Trade... and Why?
