oh shit man, I'm done with you. Go away.
We're talking about losses, not how many fail.
Every Loss is Permanent

it's really just a paucity of math
if it wasn't otherwise, a majority would be successful
and then it would be only "average" to be successful
and anyone who wasn't successful would be below "average"
it's a little off topic
I'm the world's worst chess player. I never even won a single match against the "Beginners" computer
but I read some books
and a guy won a tournament with practically nothing left but pawns
that's a lot of losses, big losses
but he won the match

I walk into a casino and win 1K on roulette. The casino should shut down because that loss is permanent. The casino shareholders should really think about the implications, will shock them. LOL.
Casinos lose money a lot of the time too. Every one of those losses is permanent. But they still print money in the long run.
Nothing is permanent in the market. Traders, of all people, should know that.
Also it doesn't make sense to say "You will never see that 1k again", because money has no product differentiation. 1k is 1k, no matter where it came from. If your profits the next day are 1k, then by definition, you saw that 1k again. What matters is net gain over time.

another way to look at it
a man looses the woman he wants
there will be plenty of women to make up for the lost sex and good times
but is that woman lost forever?
hard to know
maybe just knowing her for that brief time was all you got out of the deal
is that a win, or a loss?

I hear ya, It's like when your dog takes off on the full moon after some coyotes, and you figure, "Well, I'll never see him again."
and he shows up next morning on the porch, waiting for breakfast (with a few chuncks of his ear chewed off.)
Likewise, every win will remain in your account indefinitely......
:eek:
good point
every penny I ever made trading is there for me
never, ever to be taken away
(at least in my perverted mind and memory)
