Quote from RedEyeFly:
The real question is this: what sort of enterprising man would be able to sustain an account balance which would generate 100K per day. Moreover, if one is making 100k per day, how many days a year is he actually trading.
Consider the following. If have a blowout day where I bring home a bundle, what is my most immediate response? - where will my travel plans take me - i.e. get away from the screen to avoid emotional irrationality on my next set-up.
Holding belief in diminishing marginal returns it seems unlikely that a person, regardless their background or financial interest, would be disciplined enough after say, 30 100+K days in a row to maintain sufficient risk controls to experience another 30 100+K days in a succession.
Just the very existence of such a positive return from a chaos system is a statistical outlier. Possible? Sure. Likely? Well, there is a fat tail out there somewhere...
