I would like to see you be a regular contributor to this forum, whether I like your style of trading or not. My frustration was that you never got into the meat of what you were trying to say. Sorry that you were criticized at the other thread. I didn't catch any of it. So, I don't know what...
Have you said anything worth voting for you to continue? Maybe I missed it ( I didn't read anything from your previous thread).
I don't understand why you even care whether people want you to continue or not. What is that you are trying to get out of all this?
I consider myself a pretty patient person. But when are you gonna get on with it?
I'll at least hear what you have to say, even though I didn't vote.
Best to you.
If you don't mind, I'm curious:
What did you learn from the drawdown? I mean, I'm sure it wasn't expected right? So, then how was it overlooked in testing or what do you think happened? But, more importantly, what did you learn?
Build for yourself a stable foundation. Money is only a tool. And if you have more of it, yet lack good foundation, you will only crash harder, self-destruct harder.. etc
STOP trading until at least you figure out what is going on??
Please be more specific on how you think the balances are incorrect, so that someone can come along and help you.
âMy Heart Is Afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.â...
What I meant was I would not have gone into testing ideas at great expense. It was a pitfall I had. I jumped into live not realizing that the backtesting algos don't work as expected. So first when going live, take it into the market at little cost to capital to see what live looks like. Then...
I don't pay much attention to other people's ideas these days. But I did start out testing lots of different ones. I don't regret it now. I'd say it was a learning experience. From all I studied, I picked a little of this, a little of that, then formed my own.
As for "sound money...
pitfalls:
When I first started I was probably addicted to the thrill. So I used real money instead of paper. I would have done that differently. Then I learned to test something first in paper, then move to super small then get bigger. Another thing I learned was to trust the system. But that...
The problem is that no one is going to take the time to explain to you that not all traders make their money on long time frames, trying to "not trigger tax events". And not every strategy wants to be holding stocks for delivery.
Do you get it?
If you want to learn something, you might...
Reminds me of:
When I was a kid, my father knew a guy that said there was ninja turtles in his attic. So my father packed the pistol and went over to check it out.. thought maybe by chance there was an intruder or something. It turned out the guy was using about an 8 ball and a bottle of...
Yea, I felt sick to my stomach after watching it. It was good for the first hour. But then it went on and on and on about how stupid a person can be in life.
Way overrated, imo..
Words from within:
It's 2014. I'm very excited about this new year.
New things are in store.
Life is great. And, it's getting better and better every day!
I'm wondering:
From my understanding, bitcoin is secured by people mining. Right now people mine to get bitcoin. But what happens when they reach the 21 million? Will the bitcoin still be "secure" if there is no longer incentive to mine? What is expected to happen then?
