    Any guy making money using risk/reward ratio >1?

    I'm not saying 90% can't be done, but your typical trader won't get close to that. Let's take Larry Williams for instance. Most traders would probably agree he knows what he's doing, right? Well, currently in the World Cup Championships he has a 57.14% in the ES, a 40% in the...

    Any guy making money using risk/reward ratio >1?

    Probably not a good idea-here's why. Most traders I know are right less than 50% of the time. You here some claim 75% or 80%, but believe me, that ain't the norm. Lets say you're good and average 50%. Okay, lets take 10 trades. You're stopped out 5 times, that's $750 on 1 ES...

    Is it trading or gambling?

    I Like how Ralph Vince put it in his book" Portfolio Management Formulas" "The main difference between gambling and speculation is that gambling creates risk (and hence is considered morally wrong in most societies) whereas speculation is a transference of an already existing risk to a...

    3 to 1 Ratio

    3 to 1 Ratio

    Here's what I mean... When I run a test on one of my methods, and risk say $100 and set a profit objective of say $300, my test results show about $300 for my average winner and about $100 for my average loser. Anyway, it's no big deal, just curious. Thanks :D

    Quote from Breakout: Hey acrary...I don't know if you want to do any more or not. If you don't want to that's cool. But, I was wondering. What if you went long or short on the breakout of the 1st 10 minute bar, put a 3 point stop in and got out if you reached a 9 point profit target or...

    3 to 1 Ratio

    Okay...I think I understand what you're saying. Like go long or short on each breakout of a 10 minute bar at a certain time. Say, 9, 10, 11...etc. And, then find out which times were the most profitable and whether they were long or short trades, then just trade those times....hmmmmm:D

    3 to 1 Ratio

    Hi profitseer...Here's a chart showing how it would work on an ideal day. If the 2nd 10 minute bar had broke down, then you just reverse the strategy. Or, you could allow yourself 2 trades a day. If the first one gets stopped out, maybe try one the other way. I"m sure some of...
