    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Quote from an article on "Currency trader" magazine: "Raising a stop protects profits, but also cuts them short" Geez was very clear,a few days ago,in explaining to me why he usually doesn't move his stops.

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    I am sure Geez will explain later....What I want to ask is if someone is familiar with the work of Van Tharp.He is a market wizard and I've read 1-2 of his books.He insists n the matter of money and trade management and he has performed some interesting experiments. In one of these,they put...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Hello geez, let me ask you something on the money management issue.You've had an initial capital of 70k and you want to achieve a 50% profit,that is 35k with a minimum drawdown.You also bet 200$ on each trade,with a profit target of 400.Excellent... Do you believe that it would be possible...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    The fact is that this trade was also profitable.The price reached the profit target. I want to learn the logic of Geez,my friend.I do not trade the US markets,so I am not interesting in finding stocks through a program or a "radar".....I want to learn his way of thinking,so that I'll be able...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    You sold the low of the "lower high" bar,with a stop just above the bar's high....Good luck... I am confused though...the stock is rallying from the opening bell.So,if I understand your logic ,you should buy a higher low.Where is my fault?

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Geez, let me see if I understand your last long play on DXD.The overall market is down today and DXD has gapped down but immidiately it starts to rally,according to the 5 min. chart. Then,it makes a 1 bar retracement and creates a higher low swing point.The low of that bar is your...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Hello Geez, can I ask you if there is a site where I can see those diagramms,both EOD and intraday? As,I've told you,I trade only the Greek market,but I am interesting to see in a chart your approach.In yesterday's charts you explained pretty well your logic of taking the trades.So,I'd like...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    I was chating with a friend of mine this morning,both watching the Greek stock market.He had bought a stock 2 days ago and today was up 17%,giving him an overall profit of 20% in 3 days.... Well,I asked him "how are you going to manage this trade?" (ther is no leverage involved here,stricktly...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Geez, I really enjoy the discussion with you....My problem with all this is a phrase I read in a book a few years ago and since then I feel somehow "obliged" to follow: "Don't trade your portfolio,your account,trade the market"...... Today,I believe that this phrase still holds,but in a...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Hello Geez, thanks for your reply.I see,with great satisfaction,that we share the same perspective for trading....Just a probabilities game.... Van Tharp says that you can win 70% of the time and lose money and you can win 40% of the time and still make money....The key is the definition...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Hello Geez, I live in Greece,trading mostly the Greek market,stocks and futures.Our market is not suitable for intraday trading (high commissions,low volatility,not very liquid),so I prefer swing trading,as they call it,through EOD charts. Based on your approach to the market,I have...

    Our friend has described vividly the path almost all traders have travelled.... What you are missing my friend is that trading is mostly an ART....no method or system can be profitable all the time.These are the bad news. The good news is that YOU can be consistently profitable.Not your...
