    How I lost Money in Stocks

    This must be a new concept then I guess...... I agree you must trade every stock on it's own merit...... let's say then that QCOM is trade #1 with the $3.50 stop and T is trade #4 with the .50 stop....... WHO CARES!! The principle still applies that if you have a method that produces 2-1...

    How I lost Money in Stocks

By risking the same on each trade-no one single trade has more importance and impact on you...

    How I lost Money in Stocks

    (I posted this link to the money management thread-but that one is too long and might get overlooked. I think the idea in this post is crucial to understand. I quit stock trading because I didn't understand this and went on futures trading because I understood the fixed ratio method. Any other...

    Money Management Thread

    I just realize one of the major reasons why I lost so much dough trading stocks last year..... position sizing. I have a buddy who subscribes to a chat room where they pound this idea more than they pound the stocks calls themselves. He showed me that you can be -$2.00/share for the day and...

    The bad parts of Pro Trading firms

    I always hear what's good about them..... but never what's bad. Aren't these just shops that allow you more leverage, yet your money is a t risk? Why not just trade futures if all I want is leverage? Here is an article I found on the web: Proprietary trading firms offer traders attractive...

    Money Management Thread

    I like that formula..... my only concern is.... If I'm trading with $100,000 and my biggest lost is $5,000 and I'm not willing to risk more than 5% on any one trade.... the most I can trade is one contract. I will need to wiat until the account is double at $200,000 before I can increase to...
