A man who chases two rabbits catches none.

another interesting thing is NihabaAshi suggested successful traders know how to manage their size. in a poll i started the other day, i asked, "do you in some way scale in/out of positions?" sarasota replied, "nope." sarasota, are you adjusting the size of your trades at all? that...

first goal: $300 a month with $25,000. yeah, i know..it should be easy.. p.s. no, i'm not buying an index fund.

aphie, before i started trading, if i had looked at someone like me, i might have said the same thing. how many people open up their trading accounts thinking they're going to lose? we all think the losers are someone else and it can't happen to us. i did as well. who here doesn't think...

another one i like is: "don't ever let a winner turn into a loser." ok, so as soon as i have a 1 cent profit i should now place my stop at break even? yeah right...

quah, yes, i agree totally. but knowing this, what can we do? i'm glad you replied, because i can use your trading system to make my point. btw quah, i'm glad you're here because you seem like you've thought about the same things i do...and you kinda understand where i'm coming from..i think...

that was a good explanation...thanks. will you take the next step and try to explain the stock market? ;) by that, i mean...if you were to find the #1 stock in the nasdaq with the most number of down days of the last 100, would that influence you to go short? would it make you hesitate to...

i think someone said ib is working on this due to the increase of overnight trading.

that may be true, but why are so few people making a lot of money? and why are so many losing? i'm trying to find out. wouldn't you like to know how the best traders are doing it?

i'm determined and persistent

i wasn't saying the explanation is not clear. i posted it because it IS clear. until i read that, i didn't really understand this stuff...so i posted it to help others. i'm not looking to debate it or anything.

i'm sure i'm not the only one here who gets confused by this stuff... http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/56495.html Date: 02/06/97 at 15:44:00 From: Anonymous Subject: Odds and probability What is the difference between odds and probability? Or is odds a slang term for...

in the interview, Solin did indeed mention daytraders. i don't believe he would tell you what he said applys only to buy and hold people. i remember him specifically mentioning people that manage their own accounts, trade online, and daytrade.

forget real trading, i just want to understand this concept. let's take a truly random event, meaning the outcome of the last trial has no effect on the current trial. say there is a stock that is either up or down and the probability is always exactly 50/50. is there any difference...

aphie, i don't see why zero sum has anything to do with this issue. zero sum just means there is a fixed amount of money in the market. if one person gains it, another loses it. what does that have to do with it being possible/impossible to consistently make money long term in the markets? i...

if anyone wants to watch the interview, the show will be on again tonight at 11 pm est on the fox news channel. the segment is about 30 minutes into the show.

there's a guy on the o'reilly factor right now, daniel solin, who says the "big secret" is that it is "mathematically impossible" to beat indexes over a 10 year period. he is the author of the book, "does your broker owe you money?" o'reilly was like, "so there's nothing you can do?" the guy...

i have a great point to make...... i was just talking to a girl i know...she's religious and i'm obviously not at all. i asked her, if we had a kid, how would she handle him/her going to church or not? well what happens is, if she DOESN'T send her kid to church, she feels like she's doing...

lol...i seriously laugh out loud when i look at that pic......

just so you know, mom, I WAS KIDDING. lmao
