hey coolweb,
---------------
Examples of Sun Tzu "art of war".
1. the old wise called some intelligent fighter that do not only triumph but thereby are characterised more dasser with ease triumph.
2. Winning its battles by it no errors makes. errors to make is not the basis for the certainty of the victory it means an enemy to defeat that is already struck.
3. Thus the prudent fighter brings itself into a position, those the defeat makes impossible and he missed not the correct instant to strike the enemy.
And much more.
Best regards
very good addition to the thread,
The requirement to trading is to not make many mistakes, It is not a certaintity for victory, but it is a certainty for victory when the opponent is injured/confused/defeated.
NO MISTAKES theory
1. An army or trader can not be defeated if he keeps his mistakes to close to 0
2.As an opposing larger army advances, one should always retreat (no mistake)
3. as an opposing larger army is retreating from injuries , one should always attack (no mistake)
larger army = market.
defense is staying out of the market, keeping losses to nil.
========
the ease of triumph, is caused by an opportunity (whether external such as weather or internal such as rebellion in the army or retreat because lack of provisions) + a 0 mistake execution.
===========
<b>
Large army = Large capital base.
</b>
One that has a large army can never assure victory, victory can only be assured with the (right opportunity + 0 mistakes + large capital/army)
a Large army is equivcalent to a horde raiding a city, the larger your army, the faster the pillage.
100,000 man army, can pillage a city within 3 days.
10,000 army , can pillage a city within 30 days, except there are risks of backup opposing forces.
The size of your army = the rate of your pillage = the rate of the $$$ flowing into your bank account.
It does not ensure victory but it speeds and reduces risks of pillage.
=============
The commanders of yestercentury are the commanders of large capital bases now.
Your bet lives in war, you bet money in financial warfare. You try not lose either.
