If I remember correctly in the first Market Wizards book, multiple traders expressed having to put together a new "bank roll" to continue trading.

I like that so many of you don't believe in an EDGE...please keep it that way. If you think about it, the majority isn't supposed to have an edge anyways. So many of you are closed minded thinking that an ETer can't possibly have an edge. I try to be open minded enough to believe some of you...

Fall of 2008 was incredible...VIX hit 70/80 quite often. Made 20 to 50 trades a day...felt like playing a high speed video game at times...was drained at the end of the day! My favorite was the last 20 minutes of the trading day...institutions were forced to liquidate and ETF's had to play their...

DUDE...please STOP!

TDMA...why do you visit this site? Why are you here? You're not here to learn because you've already attained a highly competent level of market expertise...correct? So what is it? Are you really here to expose the fraud that is prevalent throughout this site? Are you that altruistic? Are you...

Who should you ignore? Anyone trying to be some kind of ET CELEBRITY...in my opinion! I will not mention names, not yet anyway.

But how much can he bench press?:p

Wouldn't that cause a currency crises at some point...hyper-inflation possibly?

I get that...I'm a chart guy, but I can't help but see whats going on around us too. If anything, you can warn family members and give them an explanation on WHY they should be prepared. Telling them my chart says so isn't going to cut it. So, your charts say shit is going down...I take it...

I would never predict this ridiculous market. It's so obvious the market was front loaded by fed intervention/QE/ artificial low rates. How else could the market triple in value with a slow plodding economy that grew under 2% for years? This "front load" kept the market going up and up when it...

I'm glad you're still plugging away trying to find that edge, but I'm not a believer of anything random. Also, I only trade natural gas and gold futures...no ES, stocks, or bonds for me anymore...options and long term stocks in investment accounts are OK. So, are you trying to find a random...

Something we both agree on...washed away one dimensional thinkers...good stuff!;)

Firms have to make "risk" their priority...especially if they use leverage. They know that risk comes first or they risk not having a firm at all...possible lawsuits. There's just too much on the line to not have strict risk management. Plus, the firm must attract clientele and the best way to...

Did you mean to say..."Virtually every wildly successful INVESTOR places risk mgmt as the most important aspect in INVESTING"?:D As a short term TRADER I would die without my edge!:)

Is RM the only reason you're profitable...B1S2 would say YES? Is he correct?

4- Accumulate more and more GOLD

This makes sense and I hope this works out for you! But you might also consider that B1S2 is saying risk management is the "METHODOLOGY"...what you're saying is risk management is improving your methodology into an edge...BIG DIFFERENCE!:) P.S. Otherwise you could just enter randomly...if B1S2...

Isn't Cohen more of an investor than a day trader? I agree with risk management being more of an edge in investing. How? I've used pyramiding, averaging up, averaging down and other accumulation techniques in longer term investments. I would still say my choice of which security to purchase...

What is considered a good entry? When I make "good entries", my risk management becomes extremely simple, almost to the point of not really having much of any "management" at all. I do see an edge in "management not necessary at this time" because of a calculated and precise entry! My edge is...

Buy1Sell2...do you enter the market randomly? If not, why not? Why bother entering any other way...it would just be a hassle to do otherwise? If you don't enter randomly, wouldn't that imply you believe there's a better way to enter than pure randomness? If you don't enter randomly then all of...
