Is it that simple to follow "simple" trading rules?

[murray t turtle]

Victor Sperandeo said it best, if you follow your rules 80% of the time, you will be okay. Nobody expects perfection and even the top traders have their moments when, they go against their own rules and pay dearly. You will make mistakes is a given and this is still a game of percentages and if you have the percentages in your favor, you will be fine. Just like the Las Vegas casinos do not sweat it when one of their whales wager $1,000,000 and wins $5,000,000 for instance. They know eventually, over the coming days, they will get back that $5,000,000 and millions more on top of that of the whale's monies. The odds favor the Las Vegas casino, that is why.

Victor wrote a helpful book also. I don think trading/investing is like gambling , but since you brought it up. One casino told the card counter ''we dont want you here anymore'' WHY not the card counter asked?? ''NO reason, we just dont want you here'' the casino told him. They gave the card counter a spiked drink + someone cut his brake line, he found out going down the mountain.[The card counter told this to Jack Schwager]
We did gamble for quarters, when young\ trade comissions were super huge back then.
Good book , helpful book by Victor,
