The market cannot defeat you

Damn first I reveal my dorky younger days with a D&D reference and then I completely get it wrong....

Agility?? You mean Dexterity!

Agility is so late 80's
 
If you htink thta the market is "rigged against your stratagy, (support resistence levels, etc) Why not try a different stratagy? They won't keep changing to "take out" you. Maybe the strat is bad.

Is the resaurant industry riggerd against new resaurants? 90% of them fail too.

I trade rather large size in teh futures and I'm pretty sure that no one cares. Just like I don't care what "retail" people have on.

What if the market will only go down when you buy it, and won't stop going down until you sell it? That would be quite germane to the discussion, no? :)

A person having this issue needs to reevaluate position sizing and stop level.

Then configure your BUY button to sell and your SELL button to buy.

I've tried that one before... it sounds good in theory but somehow I managed to screw it up...
 
Quote from HolyGrail:

Being wiped out is one thing. Being a trader that gets returns less than the overall market is another. IMO both are losers but to different degrees.

Whether you define defeat as wipeout or just less than exemplary returns, it is still you, the trader that can defeat you. The market cannot.
