so if you don't have a target, eventually you will lose, what happens if you don't have a stop loss?

...you should quit trading...

And you should continue being an asshole, you're quite good at it.

I wasn't offering that as an answer, I'm trying to rephrase your incoherent question into an understandable form.

he has a target
he hits it most of the time
otherwise it sucks

There once was a trader from Ames
He played stocks like they were just games
He honored his stop
When the price didn't drop
He never paid capital gains

You know when you start thinking everyone else is an asshole, it's time to consider maybe "they" aren't the problem.

I've seen on the news a couple of times now that there are nationwide shortages of meds.

Apparently your meds are included.

I have a system
The stops are clearly defined
The target? Unknown

Quote from intradaybill:
Statement 1:
For any trading system, with any parameters, if there is no target quit time or target profit after which it quits, eventually there will be total ruin.
I invite all the brains here to either prove or disprove Statement 1.
...and learn something...

A simple MA entry and exit which has no target quit time or target profit also leads to total ruin.
