    You should never ever risk more than 2% of TLNW

    i think your right.... i work off of platforms in price to compute my risk per trade lets say you have 2000 to start in the account ill start at .5% per trade but it will be fixed so 2000*.5%= 10$ for the next 150-200 trades if price hits 3000 it will be another platform of 3000*.5% or 15$ for...

    You should never ever risk more than 2% of TLNW

    Yes. % does provide maximum growth potential with those with quantifiable edges when used correctly. It is also a smoother curve. I guess it does depend on the person as well and also on the system. But i guess for me i would perfer to limit maximum growth for a more reliable slow growth...

    You should never ever risk more than 2% of TLNW

    You should never ever risk more than 2% of TLNW

    should never use a % to begin with for lot sizing its bad MM.. i use fixed levels. its like saying you make 50% and lose 50% at 50% of the time.. people think for somereason you break even but look at how it works 100... 150...75 ... 1win then 1Loss 50% 100... 50... 75 .... 1Loss then 1...

    Switching to a Mac / Yes or No

    good post but i think your forgetting the best reason to have mac .. the os is more stable no blue screens... no freezes.. and it uses memory in a more efficient way. Ive had mac for 3 years and i think i restart it once every 4 months or so because of the new patches.

    direct statistical trading a "clearly" defined approach by NTW31

    its very significant but income stream doesnt drive a pair as much as eco data... trading in direction of rate is like buying a house on a loan so you can rent it out for a profit or cover the cost of that loan.. its a more investment way to trade a pair.. for instance usd/mx since wat 02...

    direct statistical trading a "clearly" defined approach by NTW31

    its the same the tick data just makes the entrance and exits more precise. I feel strongly that as you narrow done to smaller frames you loose efficiency.. you may be making good trade but eeking out small profits per trade. the ME is smaller... but as you raise timeframes stops get tighter...

    EUR/JPY 5/27/09

    couple of questions here... you posted 2:30 seems like it would have been good it probably moved against you 17 pips or so... then moved 100 pips+ down... so my question is 1. did you not move your stop into profit? 2. the trade was more than 140% over the previous legs distance ... how come...
