this is such a B*S* post Trend following is simply common sense. If a stock or market is going to move one way..wait for it to move then jump in and go for the ride. What's SO hard to get about that? How is "day traders" are so against end of day trend following yet they are simply...

number of positions in stocks....lol a $50,000 account will hold alot less shres than a $10M account. There was a statisical number where they said if you held more than X postions in the stock market you could never outperform it (you are the averages) I think it was 8. So it begs the...

i think OP is a dreamer. Why has everyone took his word on his returns? Hope you aren't that gullible?

Right away I call this B*S*: Geeps that's not doable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2011: 87.2% return. Max drawdown (based on monthly returns) of 5.0%. Profits of 330k 2012 YTD: 36% return. Max draw down of 4.1%. Profits of 200k.

crumbs...what do you guys smoke? All this physoloigcal "mumbo jumbo" is great...but are there any facts/proof behind these ramblings?

Really? ------------------------------------- How to trade properly? ---------------------------------------- Manage risk, cut losses, let profits run, treat it like a business not a gamble. the main reason peope lose = they gamble.

more like 90% of people are simple. If you observe the average trader. you wil lsee their greed kills them every time. Nature. Can't be beat for the majority eho put no work into what REALLY works in the long run...

because 90% of people cannot trade properly.

Year ago when I read about some traders I read somewhere if you held over X number of shares you could not outperfrom the market averages. I think it was 8..but I am not 100% sure. Can anyone shed any light on this? What was that number and is tue? Thank you

Hey what size was he trading for this? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interview with a Trading Legend. Our extensive interview with good friend (and legendary trader) Peter Brandt, who traded with the original Commodities Corp and achieved...

I have always stuck by a ratio of 2:1 or better. But again i presume these funds you talk about are big in $$ size? That's a different game to the one I play. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My guess is, when trading size...

simply means i am a longer term investor in these stocks. Not short term trading. I can hold on to my positions for 2+ years if it keeps running. Stocks like TASR, HANS, LULU etc. Invest low, hold on, sell for big profits. I gave up on short term trading years ago...

It does seem to me that whole Insitutional "play it ultra safe, red tape, etc stops most small funds even attempting to manage money? Thos costs involved make it very hard for small funds (<$30M AUM) to even survive yet this is where the biggest gains can be made. I understand that inst...

Yeah and how large are these funds? A big advantage i have is keeping it small and nimble. A fund of less than say $30M can easily outperform a huge billion $$ fund on the stocks it can invest in and the speed it can get in and out. I only invest in small cap stocks as these generally give...

I realy do think the subconscious tries to wake us up sometimes to a bad trade. Years ago in my "gun slinging days" I was all in CROX...LOL I was up over 150% so all was great and i was holding on through earnings. I was convinced it should shoot up 20%+ on earnings and I'd make another...

Darkhorse: On your web site and in your PDF you talk about smaller funds having to have "excellent" gains or R.O.I. to attract inst money. I agree. A smaller funder of say less than $50M should be able to make better ROI that a $500M AUM fund. But what is your defintion of "excellent...

Exactly, there is no secret to losing weght and getting fit. East less, healthier and exercise that's it BUT people do not want to put work in and lack the most basic of discipline in not over-eating. So they spend lsot of money looking for "cheats" and "short cuts." Sound familiar?

you also have to ask is if the life you want? Many people hate their jobs, travel, want to work form home so they randomly pick "day trading" But have they really considered the lifestyle of a day trader and is it something they'll be happy with? But that takes some common sense and work...

Yep agreed 100%. Some of the best funds are over subscribed 10 fold. It's only the poor ones where they lose 50% of their clients every eyar that struggle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If you build it, they (with the money) will...

trading sucessfully is easy......not giving in to human weaknesses (greed, fear, loss of focus, boredom, envy, jealousy, lazyness) is the hard part.
