Successfully trading 2 contracts is more profitable than successfully trading a single contract.That is not theory. I'm surprised that you haven't understood what...

    Its 40% dumb,25% attempting to goad members into offering him 'proof' of what works(as he has since he joined) and 35% laziness.

    Why do newbies lose?

    I think theres a place for that,but real wealth in this game(imo)comes from scaling up. Theres play money to be made at entry level but real money requires a routine and mindset that leaves nothing to chance. Each to their own though.

    I wonder if this could account for some of the drag we've seen on NVIDIA? I was confused as to why Cathie Wood sold NVIDIA in late August amongst a lot of optimism.Perhaps this could account for that as well?
