By appealing to their better natures, their altruism, and their desire to earn an honest, reasonable return on their investment. (or by appealing to their insatiable greed .. you decide)

I appreciate your opinion on it @bone , it just seems like it has the potential to be very subjective to me. I can see if it's overboard like what you're saying, but more marginal cases would be a lot less clear, I think. Especially in the case where you're simply taking the other side of the...

Now that's just lazy. :D

As usual I disagree with the underlying premise of a lot of these comments. It isn't win to loss ratio that matters, what matters is the size of the average winning trades compared to the size of the average losing trades. In short.. all that matters is MAKING MONEY long term. It's totally...

I agree with most of this, but am perplexed why you said it in response to my post. I simply remarked that you're always in a position, so practice or not, you have to decide if that position is what you want to be in. I totally agree deliberate practice is the way to go, see my post earlier...

So many problems with what you've written ... First, and get this out of the way, I know INTIMATELY what we're talking about here. I don't know how you grew up, but I grew up around subsidized housing, food stamps, school lunches, so this isn't some esoteric conversation for me, I know exactly...

Thanks @themickey I had not thought of that! Good idea.

My issue with handing money out to people who "need it", is that it is actually counter-productive from the standpoint of people learning independence, learning to be self-reliant, learning effective strategies to deal with an uncertain world, etc. The means of taking care of themselves is what...

Why on a comprehensive scale ? We can embrace it on a miniature scale, just send each of us one of your dollars, I'd prefer mine in silver.

Well I've been here for a few days, and I think its best to ignore pretty much everybody here. There are a few gems thrown in there, but the amount of total BS you have to read through to find them is just too much to deal with. SO MUCH EGO too omg. The worst thing I see is that so many...

The disciplined trader's message (in summary) is ... try to be objective. I have no problem with that message, I liked the book.

Women and the word balance never go together in any context. MGTOW if you want balance. Women if you want entertainment.

Suppose the stock falls to 91 and you do your 90% calculation, does your theory still make sense ? Or does that answer your question ?

It's like being governed by 3rd graders ... I like the idea of giving everyone free income, but that's because I have fun imagining a bunch of clueless totally dependent morons standing at the foot of my pyramid. The world just isn't as fun now that everyone thinks for themselves - today's...

I wasn't suggesting it as a strategy, gentlemen, I was pointing out the absurdity of arguing over win/loss ratios in a game that doesn't depend on win/loss ratios.

I wonder about all these ideas about practicing 5 hours for 1 hour of taking a position, etc. Reality is you're always in a trade, unless you're broke, so it might as well be one you think is going to make money. If nothing else you're long the currency, did you practice 5 hours to take that...

If you have a tight stop on 99 losses and let 1 winner run forever ... ?

I like turtles. - Jonathan Ware

Reminds me of statisticians covering Clinton's campaign. So much group think, so taboo to question that she wouldn't win by a huge margin, that nobody had it right when the votes were counted. At a market top every long is a genius, whether they're operating on sound information or because...

... and ... all their socket traffic is in ESocket.cpp in separate send and receive functions, so it would be trivial to print out that text to see what was going on between the API and the gateway for debugging ... Edit, it looks like you can also signal the gateway to log something ...
