Not tried a combine : soon after my post, started to trade with someone, and the profits were fine. I will definitively give it a go - may be this summer- so as to have the experience of a combine. :)

"Masters of the Universe" do not need your spare thought : they will do just fine. Don't worry for them, just worry for yourself.

"A trader has different trading strategies. Then he decides to get rid of one of these, as it is always a loser. But for some reasons, just decide to keep it aside and give a daily thought on it. Time passes. Then comes a time where the trader can't get any of his strategies working...

It's nice to see different versions of the same fable. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/53xPlyc9rDo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

So during trading, If one trade goes into a negative territory, the wolf can be seen as the desire of not cutting the loss. But for psychological reasons, the trader can not say "I want to lose", so the trader finds reasons not to close the trade. - The trade will come back - A pullback...
