Not bad, you actually balanced yourself to zero, you might just have what it takes if you skip the first part.

Retail are funny, and apparently idiotically stupid being illiterate, because as previously said generating triple digit income returns is relatively simple, generating triple digit capital is not. Over 1,000s posts and still doesn't understand the difference between logarithmic income and...

Who comes up with these questions, always impressive to see retail struggling with simple math in the financial markets. Triple digit percentage compounded returns per year starting with $1,000 creates a billionaire after 15-20years, after the first years all drop away, leaving only 2,000 at the...

The first rule of banking, never take a loss, that also applies to fintech. It is irrelevant whether you are correct or not, the loss will be yours. You can fight, but ultimately you have only lost profit, ie. time, so return to neutral, there are many times you lose capital as well. Should TT...

Fundamentally incorrect, it's the difference between "new money" to be rich yet live rich and "old money" to be rich yet look poor having the biggest stick when some moron comes along to make trouble. The psychological problem is not understanding the difference. You might want to read this...

Over 1,000 words used and you already have the answer, the wonders of the normal distribution. Make more perfect trades by waiting longer, but that needs more capital and more perfection which means something very unfortunate, it's not palatable for your, nor 99.9% of aspiring traders, view of...

That's exactly what you're supposed to feel. Logarithmic is for exploration but doesn't make money, exponential is for making money, the best traders can transition from one to another under their control. The markets don't sleep, they continually change, if you can't transition a strategy it...

It is physiologically impossible in a short timeframe for someone to take all that information, process the contents, research the references, and determine the impact unless that person has extreme levels of cognitive dissonance in their own lifestyle or they are false flag users. You've got to...

@Van_der_Voort_4 @southall Here's is something I wrote elsewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is how you will be taught to trade by absolutely everyone, a logarithmic curve. This is how life, evolution and the handful of...

Except there's some BS going on here, you have a $10k account and generated 318% in 2months where you stated "I made a fortune with this trading attitude last year and made enough for this whole year in just under 2 months. You don't need to spend the biggest part of the day working. Cheers"...

What are you going on about, honestly everyone in these forums are idiots, if you didn't get it covered everything including return, cost and risk then I'm amazed your profitable at all. Never ceases to amaze me how people try and credit themselves with other peoples knowledge, from my...

Actually any profit is a success compared to the other 99%, but the question was very specific and this was a very specific answer to their expected return. If they reduce their expectation 10x or increase their capital 10x then their effort becomes moderately easier towards the equivalent of...

So you want to make a 100% return per year on your account, here is a normal distribution. The benchmark return on an account with $100,000s in capital is 15-20% per year so that someone can quit their day job, that is equivalent to the return you're looking for. This sits around the 2.5σ or...

If you're profitable you're in the top 1% of people trying to trade, consistent low single digits per month is the core benchmark, once you go above this you are entering a world a few may have sporadically seen but only a handful can maintain. So in the teens percent per year and you're up...

If you start making too much or your timing is too good you will find platform issues, trades deleted, and so on. Initially there are soft filters, but if they don't work then the fixed filters are used, never in your favor though. The lower you are in the food chain, ie. retail at the bottom...

And another long post with endless amounts of comments summerized to. Lack of perfection Lack of knowledge the markets are idiotically slow Lack of capital And why does it take years to master, because you have to throw away everything you were ever taught about being a good...

As I'm here, the financial markets are designed for those with capital, time and resources, retail have none of them so they use leverage, but the more leverage you use the more perfection you require in your setup. Only 0.25% of the worlds population are millionaires, 99% of people who seek to...

That's all assuming you're the best, if you're not. 1. They don't care 2. They may be more efficient than you 3. If it's not profitable it is crap So under your rules I fall in that category, yet the fund we recently launched turned +23% Mar2017 because I adjusted the methodology to 1second...

Yes, what you want to do is called the EU, and you can see what happens when the group is disparate, not having the same financial resources, not having the same motivations, not having the same knowledge levels, not wanting to progress on the same timelines ... So you want to create the Monaco...

Honestly, no wonder only the select few make all the wealth in the financial markets, it's not complicated. The Dow had to fundamentally roll over these past months, and now the technicals need to do the same above 20k, ideally with a new high over the next month or two, but never underestimate...
