So the number of posts in this opinion forum have a direct relationship to trading experience, correct?
No, but the number of unsubstantiated claims does. :eek:

I should mention that 85% accuracy is easily the basis for 100 lot trading.
This will put gravitonium77 in the 10M per year club alongside AMT and Ken.

Now we have three on one thread.

I must point out, my friend, that in this particular instance, and only in this particular instance, you are dead wrong: You have now confused two magnificent threads and merged their magnificent posters in your own mind. Unless of course I'm wrong again, as I'm not going to verify all the posts.

Having all three posters making 10M per year in the same forum is a great privilege for all. Having them all in the same thread would be too much to ask. I'm pretty sure you will likely concur, as you have been extremely reasonable in the past.

It's nice to dream of a 3-way midget wrestling exchange, however. But for now it's only in your dreams.

You are dead right Sir, I got the threads of "Inventory Grab" and this magnificent thread merged in my mind.
I think that walking in the footsteps of greatness had disorientated me to the point where I had no idea what I was doing. (perhaps that explains my attraction to ET where I seek safety and conformity within the ranks)

Mind you, and in my defense, both threads are volume based and that speaks volumes for their content.

When it comes to pure entertainment, this thread and several others prove that ET has no equal on the net, and what is more, it is free.

The number of traders in favor of volume, is increasing in the poll.

Yes I can see that, but this is ET the national shrine to contrariness.
I would have thought that the poll result would have bothered you.

Not surprising, since it is believed 95% of traders lose their money. One expects the nonfunctional methods to be in the lead.
 
Seems to me that there are only three things that can be considered when trading. They are price,volume and time.
Since it is difficult to make money buying or selling time or volume I suspect most of you are profiting or losing by buying and/or selling price. In such case you have two choices. You can isolate (fix) time or volume.
It is possible to gain or lose using either one. The IRS keeps score in time so that's hard to escape. You all keep score in time I would hazard a guess.
Whether you fix time or volume is your choice. There are wide range of intervals in either. Almost infinite and therefore extremely difficult to compare.
Pick your poison and prosper. After all it's still an individual choice. The argument is moot but not , in my humble opinion , resolvable.

Very succinctly explained. Well done.
