I'm totally aware of the fact that I'm the last one to point to the subtle differences in paradigms (prediction vs anticipation). But I could not resist mentioning the following quote from Makosgu:
"As for the R/R thingy, I don't do it simply because I find it to be irrelevant. I never know what my reward is ahead of time since that would be the prediction trap. The market runs it's course and I just simply keep up with it. My immediate risk is breakeven, my reward is whatever the immediate trend shells out. This is an always positive R/R and thus destroys the need to be conscious of R/R since I get rid of all losers ASAP. 10 washes in a row, 40 washes in a row, how many back to back washes have you ever encountered? I've had at worst seven in many weeks of automation and the net on the day was still higher than the H-L. I've even pulled the T&S from the tightest day seen over the last few years."
Spyder, please chime in if I'm totally off base here. TIA.
