oh but come on -50% in one month.........it's a gamble. He'll go under one day.

Yikes! I can count on one hand the number of unds up more than 8% for the year..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.barclayhedge.com/

Why? Overpaid and probably lost about 10% of their wealth. Hopefully they are wiser now? Who knows? They gamble away the rest in Vegas anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I feel sorry for investors who are not market pros...

I can't say I have ever seen one..but why not? We all know for small accounts (this is proably where it becomes aproblem for mnaged money..but surely say a group of 10 people at $100,000 each it's fine?) day trading is where you can hit the biggest % wins (obviously you still need to trade...

Not really. Get to know biz CEO's,companies, multi billionaires....Min $5M only need 20 for $100M. I am guessng raising the <$1m amounts is where it is a pain in the ass?

i think tha's about it with that guy. I actually feel sorry for him. Maybe he's lonely? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't get it, really I don't. I don't come after you or antagonize you. I don't understand why you feel the need to...

Curios to know how you read his posts if he's on your ignore? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- omg i am so glad i put that guy on ignore!

Hmm...but if your goal it to simply make lots of money..what's the problem? Or are you doing this for other reasons? It makes me chuckle when someon has a go at someone who has built a $1B+ profit business....like they are idiots! Like aday trade making $50k a year having a go at...

^^ Get a life ^^

I smell a LOT of B*S* with Inst. money.

keep writing.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because a 60% DD was given as an outlier extreme, i.e. something one does not expect to see every year but which will happen on occasion on the far left tail of one's results if one...

but OP didn't say that. 10 successive maximum losses.No flat or smaller losses 10 MAX losses running concurrently...And so what? You then could hit 12+ successive winners? Where do you draw a line? My point being....you can't have your cake and eat it... <-6% DD's but >20% p.a...

in over 18 years i have never had 10 successive maximum losses..... Might it happen one day? Sure. Might a sunami wipe out N.Y one day...maybe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you kidding? 2.5% risk per trade is a lot. Put ten...

And yet in one post you talked about "betting the 2nd farm" and swinging for the home runs.... If you risk less than 2.0% per trade then you are simply another Mutual fund with 6-8% returns if you are lucky. You your-self talked about smaller funds being able to take a little more risk and...

On the other end of the scale you have to laugh at all these so called FX money managers. All in 10X+ leverage in trades and hitting those 30%+ months...only to lose it all next. May as well play in the casino.

^^ LOL ^^ 10 successive maximum losses.....might happen one day...probably won't. Why not 20 successive losses, 50, 100? Where do you stop? What if a nuclear missile hits the NYSE? 60% D.D on 2.5 risk per trade you are describing a "black swan" even that probably will never happen. I...

but from a guy who said anyone who takes over 2.5% risk per trade is a gun slinger I fail to see how he could hit 60% D.D's. I do not think he's as reckless as that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ed Seykota was said to have...

what risk per trade does most Managed money (Mutual funds, Hedge funds, Pools etc) take? I have heard from 0.1% to 2%.

risk <2% capital per trade cut losses Let winner run Turn into a business managing O.P.M. (basically see what the masses do..do the opposite)

so that number is 30? As high as that? Any add to it?
