mogul, nice BUT re-read the PTJ interview in Market Wizards AS-IF he averaged-down but didn't want to say so and it's quite interesting.... ok ok play it backwards with a strong norwegian accent and od-only-knows what you'd find but try it go-on honest it's interesting... :D Q1

Isn't the appropriate way to look at this to take into account the full universe of possible edges that match the formula: %Win * $AveWin - %Loss*$AveLoss - Comms > 0 That's the only fixed rule a profitable trader needs to worry about. Everything else is hearsay. Q1 :)

LRD, OK in retrospect using the word "just" in my post was unecessarily pejorative. From your Rotter/spoofing involvement I know you work for reputable publications. Good luck uncovering more. Q1

electron, trading 20/40 lots in the bund/bonds/es is not easy without consistency. for me i'd guess Cutten is there already: its moving up that he's finding harder... there are no "rules" for personal growth... peace, Q1

Cutten, most of the responses to your trade are pretty idiotic aren't they? as a 20/40 lot bund trader you're more than good enough to know what you're doing...if jolting your psychology through a size barrier buy scaling up 5 times is the way to do it for you then that's fine! some...
