How do you compare the trading success of 2 differnt sized accounts? If 2 traders both make 10k, one with a small account and the other with a much larger account who is the successful trader?

Might I suggest a percentage change in account size might be a fair way to measure trading success.

Good call and you made some money for a change. :fistbump:

I have no idea about Dana Farber. I just know that people are going to the US for treatment rather than wait. A bill for 1.3 million shows how the hospitals take advantage of the insurance system. What happens if you show up with no insurance.

The system is great until you need it. Waiting lists for procedures are long. I waited 10 months for lung test. Joint surgery or replacement is over a year. MTI's, CT scans, heart tests all require referals and wait lists. You wait for months for the refered Dr. to get back to you then get on a...

And dental. Very impressed with the quality of care I got there.

True. If you were to get into an accident with no out of country health insurance you are at their mercy. However if you need treatment and the wait list is long up here, you can arrange treatment south of the border. I checked it out a few years back when I was battling cancer, if I had to...

High on my list of why traders fail Undercapitalized Unreasonable expectations.

What happens if it becomes invalid? This is where I have a problem with EW is that price action can make waves invalid.

Why not post the same time frame?

I'd be interested in how you use EW. EW has recently piqued my interest but I'm finding it difficult to come up with a trading strategy. It seems that price has to move before you can determine the wave count.

Sorry no chart. Just a little clarification please. At what point do you determine if we are in a double correction?

What is the rationalization behind the strategy? Why 25% then 50% then 25? Why not a trailing stop? Let the winners run!!

I like that you have laid out a specific strategy for trading.

Which Broker?

Once you buy an asset you no longer have access to the money. You can make the arguement that you can use the asset as collateral or possibly trade the asset for another asset. But the money is not available for you to spend. You are now at the mercy of whatever market your asset trades to hold...
