    Need somewhere to think out loud,

    If you stop here for the month : 700$ is more than the 2% one would make with a capital of 30 000$. It seems that many traders are too demanding on themselves. You could take out the 600$, and use the 100$ for risk money, and feel absolutely fine with your return.

    Current thinking - teach all religions. I say abolish it all

    I was asking because many people have had a bad - and I mean really bad- religious education, thus have developed a lot of negatives toward religion. Peacebuilding is a very good thing. What is the main things that make peacebuilding difficult?

    By day trading, is it really impossible to get a 3% return every day without fail?

    Ok so basically, it would be about starting from say 5 winning streak days at 3%, and then working out how to increase the length of the winning streak. This makes sense : even losing strategies have winning streak days, and many winning strategies are traded with losing streak days. Also...

    Current thinking - teach all religions. I say abolish it all

    It seems that I shook something in you. Basically, you have to know, that when people look deep into their lives: 1 person out of 1000 people can say it comes from God, many times it comes from something else, and they find out usually many many many years later - 40 years is a good time frame...

    Current thinking - teach all religions. I say abolish it all

    Oh: so you had some really tough experiences? "Then one day He just gave me everything I ever wanted." : If it comes from God ( that can be sometimes a weird assertion according to religious people) , and not something else: are you happy? 100% fulfilled? with not a hint of regrets? or even...

    I did both : the meditation AND the religion. Sometimes, one has to check everywhere for a solution when real - and I mean real - problems occur. Religion is a tricky one: specially the Catholic one, because it has been undermined. If you are lucky, you come across some REAL Catholics: and you...

    If there is a diabolical aspect: the you need to wait at least 40 more years to check if the gifts were so good. Now, do you care to explain more about your life experiences?

    Current thinking - teach all religions. I say abolish it all

    your observation about being burned by the Catholic Church seem right: I think from the 1960s, there has been a set of people who were determined to undermine Catholicism, and turn it into some "farces" . Fortunately, some devout one kept the light burnings for the lost sheeps who managed to...

    One can take regular meditation retreats : I am myself sending in there all the family members in 2016. And these retreats of 10 days do work. The meditation retreats can be Religious one or other "secular" one. But these meditations techniques seem to all have originated from religion.

    Current thinking - teach all religions. I say abolish it all

    For believers, it is normal, as there are some concepts about "evil spirits" embedded into religions. This test is for atheists : when it matters, they become "superstitious". When it matters most ( death beds), they basically all ask for some religious people to confess and so on. Atheists...

    I used a software : around 30,000. Could it be that Buffet added capital on the way? I mean if his family saw he was doing well, they would certaily keep adding money for each good performanes.

    well: those who I have heard say they'll be dead soon, often died within few months ( terminal cancer, fatal accidents,...). This is why I asked. Now effectively, time is limited in this life phase , and we have one certitude: one day, each person will die. Then after - from religious people who...

    Atheists don't believe in God, but believe in superstition. A simple scenario. When an atheist buys a house : visit the house, all is perfect, the finances are perfect. Just one signature left. Make this test : just before the atheist signs the final signature, just say "euh!!! I have to let you...

    Buffet : it took him 20 years to make his first million, starting age 11 Now: why 10 years on backtesting? how many trades does it correspond to? how long is each winning trade is held on average?

    wrbtrader : I did not think of the daily living expenses to be included! And then the taxes ( till payments can be deferred) . Also, can't his wife work, so that he could compound? Now, I am more interested on the trading aspect of it: how the person could get such winning streaks, AND...
