Could you make it anymore vague ? :)

I suggest "Kahane vs. Alan Dershowitz" for starters. It's amazing how the issues discussed are as relevant today as then. http://kahane.hostultra.com/

yea maybe he doesnt have an edge. so 99% of ET posters so what. he's trying to discuss something important so dont attack him just because he doesnt have an edge.

Yea, basically as you try to increase your average win size to average loss ratio, there is a tendency to bring your win % down to eliminate the edge we're trying to achieve. I call it "edge elemination tendency". So what we do as traders is we try to find situations where we can have outsized...

Brandon, why did you lose money in the elocal managed program? How much did you lose? What does that say about you as a trader?

To be a good trader, you need to be a good scientist (unless some will spoonfeed you a proven edge - not gonna happen!). And for many of us research is boring, tedious, frustrating because for 30 tries, you get maybe 1 that looks promising. But there's no other way.

That's a huge red sign.

How do you trade off trendlines anyway? I've yet to hear anyone claim : "i trade off trendlines and make money". seriously.

ok. if you trade 3 contracts. when your stoploss hits - you get hit on all 3. but if you scale out on wins then you might get 1 small win on 1 contract and the other 2 will come back to break even. u know what i mean? so you need a high win %.

nitro u dunno what u talking about. for scalpers 60% is MINIMUM cause R/R is close to 1:1, sometimes 1:1.5.

LOL, I thought so too. Mr Shwine is back :(

sid. again, could you please post equity curves for all instruments traded?

You have to have a pretty high win% with these? Cause you get stopped out for the whole whammy like 3 cars but win sometimes on 1 car, sometimes on 2, sometimes on 3.

Nitro these days u can only share how to offer fries to the customer with niceset smile possible.

acrary?:)

but your fund sucked.

Guys... We all know the deal. Like commodore rightly noted, the "nots" make up probably 95% of the rooms if not 99. Now... when a guy comes in and suggests something in such a stand-up straight-up fashion - if realized, this would be the best (most fair) room I've ever seen - it would be the...

Wait and none of it turned out to make consistent money?

An equity curve picture would be nice:)
