Why waste your time?

[d08]

Unsuccessful traders (*IMO*) bleed to death. Most of the successful traders (that I know) bleed slowly and have rare huge wins. The most successful trader that I know is basically a 30% winner but has two or three 8-figure wins in a year.

It seems to be the reality for me as well. This idea of making money every week consistently is not necessarily the best way to do things even if possible. Having immense runs followed by periods of slow bleed are okay. The more you diversity these types of strategies, the better the Sharpe (there's always a run somewhere at any given point in time).
