BAR BY BAR -- Al Brooks

You people here are so negative. All you do is make negative statements towards others post. My statement was not false. but it is only true using 4- 6 tick target and 6-8 tick protective stop...

This is well know fact.. get over it...

sorry for my omission.. but then it did give you negative folks something to point out.
 
Clearly David was describing the win percentage a scalper would need. And, since many/most one-lot traders would be quick to lock in even a small profit, it makes sense to comment as he did.

I have not been the most polite poster on ET as I have been quick to defend any statement or concept I believe in and at times defend them more vehemently than I should. But the sheer level of negativity from the worst offenders on here is truly horrendous.

The jumping on a statement that we all understood in David's post -- one that was clearly meant to be helpful -- is far from the worst example I could have chosen yet it does illustrate how small an issue can be yet still be fodder for those who look for statements that could have been more complete.

I have been here a few months and have found a number of posters I respect for both their substance and style. I might not yet have enough trading knowledge to deliver as much substance as they do but what I can do effectively is emulate their style. Going forward I will not reply to anyone who does not value civil discourse. I have been, I believe, largely polite; but I now realize that "largely polite" is the self-indulgent way out. The goal needs to be (and will be) polite -- period.

Trading one lot is very very very difficult. As you are trading ALL IN and ALL OUT. uou have to have 70% winners just to break even. .

Well you have to admit your post was incorrect and stupid. But it must feel good to have some French moron backing you up on it. Maybe you two guys can get a room together?
 
I assume I am the "French moron" that you reference. To set the record straight I am a New York moron.

In order to make full disclosure, I admit I have visited Paris a few times and had quite a good time on each trip.

Let me remind you David with your own words that you believe you have to have 70% winners to break even when trading ALL IN and ALL OUT.

Totally false. And you know it. It's okay if you made a mistake.

Swan Noir, hope you had fun in Paris.
 
that just shows how little you know about trading. it's not totally false. if you are scalping for 4 ticks with 6 tick loss it's TOTALLY correct...

A real trader would know this....

Only people who admit they are wrong will make it in this game - people who point out faults in what others post are stupid thick idiots and clearly show, by their own postings, that they know absolutely nothing about trading!!!!!

I commend any person who makes a "mistake" and admits it - the fools will do otherwise, as usual.

There are very few people on this site who know what trading is really all about - the rest, well lets just say that ye stick out like a sore thumb and no matter what help ye get, ye will never grasp the simple concepts that are required to make money, for ye are the masses who know everything, do nothing and helps everybody - in other words, ye are dumb ass idiots who think that just because ye post a few words on a stupid website - THAT YE ACTUALLY KNOW SOMETHING - well boys and girls, let me wake ye up to reality - YE KNOW SWEET FUCK ALL ABOUT TRADING AND IT IS AS OBVIOUS AS THE THICK DUMB STUPID POSTS THAT YE DREAM UP -

Where I come from we have a nice name for you lot.........FUCKIN DIM WITS:D

You only came up with this 4 tick win, 6 tick loss bit after it was pointed out that what you said was WRONG. You better hope you don't have this mindset in real trading or you will lose your ass.
