25 Years & $100 Million Profits... A to your Q's, Today Only

Quote from Hedge22:

Thanks for all this gnome, congrats on 5000!

I remember hitting "300" posts... a significant number to a professional bowler, you know.

Now at 5000, perhaps I've said too much.

This is a big issue in my view....

1. Cherry Pick the best trades, trying to avoid potential loss situations, or

2. Trade EVERYTHING reasonable and let stops control losses.


If you're thinking "#1" the market is pretty good at leaving you in the dust.

If you're thinking "#2", you will sometimes get wrung through the Veg-O-Matic when you'd have been better off to just sit on your hands.

I think you have to play this by ear. Both are good and bad at times.


I personally tried trading everything and I was hoping that my reward/risk ratio would give me a statistical advantage. However, I learned that the probability of a trade was against me with that R/R ratio.

However, I still would like to explore a more frequent trading method as it seem more emotionally comforting as the strategy depends more on statistic than on skills.

Thank you for all your posts! Everyone of them is a treasure in itself. :D

Not at all. This thread has been a most pleasant suprise this evening. A sincere thanks from myself and all of us who have enjoyed visiting with you.

Never, not possible (laugh)

That said, may I respectfully ask why you've been posting almost non-stop for more than twelve hours straight?

I'm here at the desk due to a kick-(butt) headcold that won't let me sleep, or do much of anything other than look at dead charts while blowing my nose.

Here's hoping you just feel energetic today while the spirit came over you in good stead :D

Let's not exaggerate... it's been only 8 hours... LOL.

Never expected this thread to go so long, but didn't know a logical place to stop.. except midnight... 2hr 48min from now.

I've heard it in the background a few times, but never used it.
