Quote from SgtSlottter:
My point isn't about you, the trader, in war. You can consider yourself at war or a soldier. Not a problem.
My point is that the enemy (in your and coolweb's analogy, the market, or a stock) doesn't consider yourself your enemy. They don't consider you at all.
They don't know who you are, your position, your anything, thus, coolwebb's foolish analogy and advice makes no sense b/c he is 'battling' something which just is a living organism, unaware he exists, not an organized attack or defense against him.
Never tell people having more money than the other guy makes you more or less likely to 'win' or 'lose' a trade. Its just terrible advice and very destructive to those who may take it to heart.
greetings,
you ve misunderstood me. the analogy is only in strategy view, how to be prepared for trading, like being prepered to battle.
How i wrote before, the only enemy is in yourself personality, not the markets, the markets are just the battlefield. OK.
i dont know about coolweb, but i think he meant it in the similar way how i do it. So, means, you just need to know how to win the battle, the trade, thats it.
you can find a lot of analogies for trading, war, hunting, money collecting of production line with differnet boxes on it, with different probabilities of how much money is in it (i like that analogy too, hehehe.....)
the other points i agree with you. In these days you can built up your business with very small money.
maybe coolweb meant, the more money you have, the more trades you could make at the same time, and switch between them how you want. i dont know.
So i agree with your points. Analogies are different out there.
greetings
