NEKE, why don't you ask the mods to lock your thread until you decide to start trading again? It's only gonna add 30 pages of bullshit debates and back-and-forth bickering anyways.

Good luck

Not necessary. I still do trade, just the size is reduced, a lot is being handled by automation, including enforcement of rules.
 
Quote from Sean McLaughlin:

Your quote reminded me of the only quote that I have taped to my monitor:

"To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them."

Yep, I have the same quote taped to my monitor. I am no longer concerned about the negative result. My only sure reward is in my actions of trading the wonderful stock market.

To make sure I will continue to receive the sure reward, I will refill my trading account with my eighth credit card. I am planning to apply for my ninth credit card.

That certainly can be the cynical way to look at it.

The point is, if you have a well thought out trading plan that has an edge... your focus should be on executing your plan to the best of your ability.

If you become an expert at executing your plan, the profits will take care of themselves.
 
Quote from Petro:

Legging in to a position as it's going against you is averaging down. If he was already at a full weight, he wouldn't exceed that

i don't agree...

one thing is increasing your position just because your position went against you so you double down just because price is now lower and for you to be able to recover faster...

another thing is having a predetermined risk, let's say I have 200 million under management... I will risk 2% so 4 million in total...

I will scale into position by buying anywhere in a pre-determined range...

a range of 25 USD and 22 USD on a stock for example... i'll be spreading those 4 million somwhere on that range... if he buys 1 mill at 24 and 1 mill at 22 and then again at 23 this to me is not averaging down... he just broke his position into several in order to scale in... if it breaks to the downside at 21.50 stopped out.

now getting in at 24 USD 4 million straight away and then it goes to 21 USD so you double down... it goes to 15 USD pour some more million it will come back up sooner or later... this to me is a clear averaging down while the first is not
 
Quote from Nexen:

Hedge fund managers are nothing but traders averaging down using a big load of capital.

Or simply an institution hedging large amounts of money, and earning "a spread", which is like making 0.01% on the total dollar volume of the security.

Weekly Update for week 7/50 ended 02/27/2010

An OK week, up 10K (4.4%).

Turned on my automation in full gear this week, and collected some nice gains. For the most part kept to my word of abstaining from initiating positions manually after 930am - gave some leeway and made it 10am! Will continue this week-end adding more automated processes. I have also started keeping positions overnight (small size).

Code:
Opening Balance:               	    	230,291
Net gain for the week 		         10,269
------------------------------------------------
Net Balance:                   		240,560

Number of Trades	            	 22
Number of Profitable Trades    	    	 11


Since Inception of Thread   01/10/2010 - 02/27/2010

Opening Balance:                   	410,000
Net loss(Less Margin Interest)		169,440 (Down 41%)
------------------------------------------------
Net Balance				240,560

Am I surprised at the lack of response to neke's profitable week?

The lack of response indicates only one thing: these mf are here to watch a train wreck, and they are extremely disappointed.

This brings out the question of what purpose neke's thread serves.

If it serves the purpose of satisfying the secret and vicious desire of watching a train wreck/earthquake/murder/flood/war/child molestation/rape, you might as well produce a "down another 50k this week" post. It will bring out a lot of evil posters from their hiding holes.
:D
