Everyone has losers too. Do you think one profitable trade out of five or ten trades is considered a positive winning percentage because they had one winning trade? I don't like your choice of words for your explanation, but I know what you mean... I think. You must really believe that every...

EVERYONE has a positive winning percentage???? That sounds absurd.:rolleyes:

I thought the term "buy low and sell high" just meant buy price lower than sell price.:confused:

So, you admit that "Prudent Buying Low and Selling High" exists, but you won't consider it to be a "true edge"...except under the condition of small risk and matured profit? Do you believe in the history of all people, that not one person has been able to profit long term buying low and selling...

Is Prudent Buying Low and Selling High considered prudent risk management?

My personal experience: Start date 1993. Lost $142k my first two years of day trading, but continued to trade because of past success from investments. Took another two or three years to make modest profits. Here I am in 2018 still grinding it out with plenty to live off of. I would say I...

B1S2 quit being so stubborn...you're wrong. This is what happens when you're dogmatic and use absolutes...something you can't stop doing. Are you this insecure that you have to start a thread to make sure you have others agree with you...to make you feel better? I think you're afraid there may...

I think the mic dropped on your toe. You've only proved ONE way they don't correlate. Remember...there are traders that don't need extended trend gains to win at this game. I don't think I've ever had a 20 to 1 gain.

PROVE IT.

Johnmmf...please consider the following. If I said "I believe that anyone can be successful in life, if they are willing to work for it". My next question would be "why can't or don't most people do it then?". I believe you are right..."the will to work for it" is crucial, but I think there's...

That's interesting...I buy all that stuff too, but I don't own any cryptos...how on earth can I do that? Yes, I'm a non-coiner...but I've made a living trading for decades, but the 11 years I've been on ET I've never put anyone down for not being able to do the same, though.

It depends. My father got back to even and more, but he didn't invest in those crazy .com's that had no earnings and ended up bankrupt either...there were plenty that ended up worthless.

In your post...try replacing the word "crypto" and "new coins" with ".com's". I remember many people in the late 1990's with similar thinking and we know how that turned out...they rode the bubble all the way up and the decline all the way down. The thing is...all the euphoric investors were...

Are you going to only trade cryptos?

Russia and Brazil aren't developed enough for you? Anyway, last I checked Chicago and Detroit aren't STATES, so that's why they didn't make your "top ten". According to WORLDATLAS.COM as of August 25, 2017--highest homicide rated cities per 100k people: 1 Baltimore 2 DETROIT 3 New Orleans 4 K.C...

It's still misleading. Those countries don't have a gang problem compared to the U.S., but Russia and Brazil do. Mass shootings are defined by 4 or more deaths...still fits within gang war incidents. Please tell me why Russia and Brazil (who are still emerging countries) have failed at stronger...

Russia has stronger gun control, yet with a smaller population and less guns (13 mil. vs. U.S. 300 mil) has way more (some estimates are double) armed homicides...how? Brazil has stronger gun laws with a population of 207 million people and has an armed homicide rate that blows the U.S. out of...

Why is the U.S. an extreme outlier? Is it because we have so many gang members...more than 900,000? China, Brazil, and Russia are the only countries with more gang members...wonder what their stats are compared to the U.S....I don't see them in your example? I've heard stats thrown around that...

60% of gun related deaths in the U.S. are from suicides...more than homicides.

Remember when you were a kid in a candy store...that's how "bad people" will see opportunity in society if they know the citizens don't have guns to defend themselves. If the citizens don't have guns, the bad guys will gather in large numbers (like many gangs now) and "strong arm" anyone to...
