That's the only way to trade. Aim for greatness, go big -- or go home. If you want impotent returns, invest in an average mutual fund.
But that's not to say, though, you have to be a gambling, reckless, cowboy trader....there's a fine line between being a professional hitman versus a clown, amateur, gangster.
Throw out that risk 1%, 2%, of your account per trade bs. You have to release one of your biggest nuclear bombs, with precision and understanding and wisdom and trade process.
Grow and compound. A trader should have millions in their mind. Not being so happy by generating 15% per year.
Remember we got into this to EARN big. Brokers have all the yachts. We can too.
