100% of traders make money. All that money means more money to spend on more stocks and bonds, options and futures. The markets will never go down. The brokerages will make record profits and they spend it on research to come up with even better innovative trading platforms and order entry...

FOUR ways to not have a LOSING TRADE: 1) Never place a trade. 2) Enter the trade and never close it out. NEVER !!! 3) Enter the trade, and only exist when profitable. 4) Trade on inside information.

Is he still trading? :D

See, it is possible. But, is it really profitable? most likely not. Is it worth the risk? of geting caught.. most likely not either. Thus, it is POSSIBLE, but most likely not probable.

Hey Chaos, how can you make sure your personal WACC is never out of WACK? What is a good % of credit card debt with respect to your net worth?

How about you enter trades, and only get out when you are profitable.. you'd hold onto all the trades till they turn profitable. Do you think this could work..?

OK, lets look at what goes into a TRADE... An ENTRY and an EXIT. Only those two things are needed for a trade. And if you just ENTER and never exist.. then you cannot ever have a losing trade. So, WOW... If only there is only an ENTRY or an EXIST to a trade, then we would never have a...

Take a break from your trading and completely redefine what trading is, and what it should be for you.. Taking PROFITS too early without letting it run is the worst sign on a good trader... actually, it is the one thing that separtes the best from the rest.

Pros: if you are the hard working, emotinally stable type = access to unlimited $$$, limited only by your desire... Cons: who cares about it if you're doing it right. (I guess the cons are that, most likely your sorry ass couldn't cut it as a trader).

I had to worry about this till I became profitable. Hope you guys make it there one day.

futures markets doesn't equal capitalism....

do you make any money trading this way?

It must be the damn fees those brothers charge.. Boot camp fees, desk fees and what not...

yeah.. just you. The true price discovery is made when there is no futures markets... but, I am sure my fellow traders would try to convince me otherwise.

If I had a son, I too would teach him everything. You have to be "born" to be a trader... you can't teach trading to someone who doesn't want to trade. (Turtles were an exception, and who would call -60% drawdowns TRADING??? )

I don't do this because I was helped more than enough by others who INSPIRED me to give myself back.. sacrifice myself for the welfare of someone else. I mean, I sacrifice myself for others...

that's what they want you to think.... :D
