    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    If you trade with a win rate less than 50+% your risk of ruin is guaranteed no matter what your R:R is. You can only delay the inevitable if you risk a small percentage of your account. All trend followers with a win rate of less than 50% are doomed. It only takes a few months of choppy market...

    Anxious Greeks Emptying Their Bank Accounts

    So why don't you just say that instead of you actually trying to start a fight? Actually, why don't you start with educating yourself. You sound to me a totally ignorant person. History of defaults: United Kingdom (1749, 1822, 1834, 1888–89, 1932) Germany (1932, 1939, 1948) France...

    Anxious Greeks Emptying Their Bank Accounts

    You know no history, I bet also geography. You sound like someone who thinks Italy is next to Alaska. Finesee is to let others defend themselves, somethink that you lack when you become self appointed advovate. I am sure Lucrum has some suggestions. If he doesn't, he is not supposed to...

    Anxious Greeks Emptying Their Bank Accounts

    Yes, Why? Are you suggesting that more debt will solve a serious debt problem and more taxes on middle class in Europe will lead to prosperity? All financial systems reach to a point that monetization of debt is the only solution. This is the point for Europe. or what are you suggesting...

    Anxious Greeks Emptying Their Bank Accounts

    It's fine when you got something to withdraw. Most Europeans got nothing. Merkozi are driving Europeans to the ultimate slavery. Worse than WWII. This is because a few men in Germany and fewer in France do not want to lose a little of their huge purchasing power by allowing some printing...

    What to do? Whom to trust? Whom to follow? How to survive? How to do it better?

    LOL This is why people invented math. So you don't need to hear anyone else's story about reality. Use math and you will see the truth. If you don't know math or you cannot use a math tool, you have no chance. Everything is game theory, dynamic programming or if you are lucky linear...
