    Why do 95% of retail traders lose?

    Really. The market will one of two things, it will go up, or it will go down. Where you start is not relevant, as long as the market moves in a direction that is favorable to you relative to your starting point.

    Why do 95% of retail traders lose?

    1.Your odds of winning remain one in two. 2. I did not mention anywhere in my five points anything about time frames. 3. I stated clearly that most traders who attempt ES are undercapitalized. A 5-1 ratio should be used, i.e. if you can trade five contracts on max margin, you should trade one...

    Why do 95% of retail traders lose?

    1. Your odds of winning are always one in two. 2. The ES is too strong an instument, meaning traders attempt it undercapitalized. 3. Traders are not gamblers. 4. What you are actually trading is not price, but people. 5. Develop a plane to understand what people are likely to do relation to...

    Obama: Dollar just an Illusion

    It just show that he knows how the system works. All fiat currency is just an illusion. Worth no more than the collective holders think it is.

    The Surf Report--part 2

    I was a noob back then. If I had the knowledge then that I do now, I would have easily avoided the bubble. In my selfish capitalistic view, there are days when I wish for a bubble now, I will make a killing. I remember when MSTR opened a hell of lot lower, I was deep underwater. The bubble...

    Should World Factories Work 12 hours a Day?

    Not compatible with capitalism. "There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wage possible." - Henry Ford

    Now let me really bake your noodle bugscoe. Women are 54% of the electorate, and they have a built in commodity that will sway another 20% of men. Think about that.

    The Surf Report--part 2

    I get that T-dog, and I do not deny that he has cast some slings and arrows, at all of us. He has even rejected one of his original mentors, PTJ, by demonstrating that he averaged down. PTJ would have called him stupid, in public. He picks and chooses which Gann rules he will follow, and when I...

    The Surf Report--part 2

    Look, every trader, if s/he will admit it, is wrong more than s/he is right. The key is money management and signals that make sense. One of my mentors, who has had epic battles with Surf, is right about 40% of the time, but he is successful. I don't like the idea of piling on. Surf made...

    Should World Factories Work 12 hours a Day?

    Bearice you seem like a bright fellow so I will engage. It is unrealistic to propose what you propose, simply because it is unenforceable. I will play the opposition and represent the capitalists.

    No wonder people think Americans are stupid

    Yes, the faculty does know, they lamented about it to us in student government, and that was 25 years ago. We are seeing the fruit of an orchestrated attempt to intellectually euthanize the middle class intelligentsia, as they cause a lot of drama at key periods in history. Of course...

    The Surf Report--part 2

    What I do not get, is that if the market is in a lateral, would it not make more sense to take the position when the market breaks out. Now there is volume analysis to tell if the lateral is accumulation or distribution, why not just wait for the break and confirmation?

    To be fair, tho, we don't know if he nibbled, or if he backed up the truck. Averaging down was just a bad move, tho.
