Why are you guys so mean to Neke. He is a hero in my book. He has the courage to fight. He will succeed.
A guy who made his 10 millions in trading told me, in the first million dollar you make, be prepared to lose $100K in one trade. It kind of making sense to me. The methods are all there. Many people can handle small account sizes.
In order to become a great trader, at some point, you have to learn how to handle big losses.
Livermore got wiped out couple of times.
Quote from cvds16:
if I came across as mean that was not my intention....... I also want him to take care ...... Livermore is hardly the example to follow as he blew his brains out in the end totally broke ...
Quote from lescor:
That's total bull and it's dangerous for inexperienced traders to think that's how it has to be done. It isn't a race. Preserve capital above all else and execute a positive expectancy edge as often as you can and you'll make lots of money. The home run hitters who strike it rich are the exception and the street is littered with the bodies of people who try to trade that way.
