I see her turn clockwise regardless of how I look at the image... unfortunately I'm not sure what conclusion we should take as I believe the silhouette illusion was never proven to be a true scientific test (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silhouette_Illusion). But since you brought up...

Resilience. Adaptation related skills.

Scaling out - while often inferior on paper - is a good option if you're a discretionary trader as you get a smoother equity curve. With lower DD's you tend to take better decisions. The counterpart is that you leave a bit on the table when the fat-tail trade happens. That said, what works...

I think that's a bit of a stretch. However I suspect they prefer to spend money on making the platform fancy for retail and on marketing instead of funding developpement to fixe problems like this one or more importantly to put in place the necessary infrastructure for a serious connection...

In absolute terms and if that blotter is not photoshopped, that is impressive. 1)What is the account size? 2)How many trades did he do on the 15k RT's. ?

now what... :confused:
