-that you need a positive (greater than 1) reward to risk ratio. -that you can't have 90%+ winning percentage -that avging up or down is always wrong. That adding to "losers" is a no no -that you need to know your target and risk BEFORE you enter a trade

I know you mean well but you are just wrong here. You are going about it the complete wrong way a trader should. You focus on improving your TRADING first, the increase in profits will be a direct result of that, not the other way around. Noobs should NEVER have a dollar figure target per...

I just slid some grizzled fatty steak scraps under the door for you GreatMatez. When you are done sweating Hershey, they'll be there for you to snack on. If you're thirsty, there's some water in the toilet bowl :D

GM, I'll let you out for 30 mins of play time but then it's right back to the basement! :D

GreatMatez has been locked in the basement too long, he's starting to mix people up!

Jack, I think you neglected to feed GreatMatez last night. I discovered him eating dead crickets he found under the rug in the basement :D

Since you already told me what aisle they are in, it should not be hard to find what you need :p

No you wouldn't, you'd be the first to bitch about how he must be trying to sell something or it must be a scam somehow. You've NEVER showered praise on anyone. Please, don't insult peoples intelligence.

Ok, if those are the products you need GreatMatez, I'll run out to the store and fetch them from you. Don't for one minute think we are letting you out of this basement :p

Jack, don't forget to slide some food under the door for GreatMatez. He must be starving...burning all those calories resurrecting old threads about you on ET :D

Well, then you are a gambler in these situations. 50/50 shot. Win some lose some...not my style but whatever floats your boat. My point was you SHOULD NOT be telling a noob to gamble like you do in front of news. I told ya, I wasnt trading stocks only futures. Of course I remember the tech...

So you are saying that at 2:14 EST on an FOMC day you will take a trade if you get a setup because you DON'T know that the mkt is about to move sharply one way or another at 2:15?

Please, do a search of my user name and you'll see that I've said more than a few times I've been trading 12 yrs, 10 of which I have been making a good living. I'm not trying to one up you. Secondly, YES i do know certain news will be market moving. Thats where all the years of experience...

I agree with what you say....just NOT before mkt moving news PS I got 12+ yrs full time trading experience.

Quit yer crying candle boy

I'm just a crusty guy, what can I say :D

I think he meant Focaccia :D

Well done Jack, you were able to get Greatmatez locked in the basement once again :D

I think the point that YOU'RE missing is that mkt moving news is an unknown variable (how the mkt reacts to that news). And one that can drastically alter the landscape of the mkt that day. Your essentially saying that your method, based on things other than guessing how the mkt will react to...

That's what YOU do. I do not and I really doubt you should be advocating a newbie to take a position 1 min before an FOMC announcement just because he has a setup.
