    Can scaling/averaging down be a viable trading system?

    Macro...thanks for the idea of having separate accounts 1 long and 1 short in different ratios.

    Can scaling/averaging down be a viable trading system?

    Can scaling/averaging down be a viable trading system?

    July 29, 2005 My trading story… I started trading a $30,000.00 account January of this year. I started the year off trading 2 contracts of the ZN and was being stopped out of everything…down to $29,200. Then I started to think that I’m never going to be exactly right on entry so I...

    Greenspan, Inflation and the US Dollar

    That's all good, but the "good" money will go where the markets go.....whether up or down...........and inspite of the Macro Socioeconomic RE Bubble Import/Export Euro Theorem.......unless of course your looking long - term, maybe 4500 minutes out. :p
