This is downright shocking! This heat map by Amazon allows you to go state by state and track book sales by right ring lean and left wing lean to see what people are reading. And 46 of the 50 states are RED!!!!!!!!!

Basically this shows you that even in the liberal states, they don't buy the left wing bullshit because they are not buying the books. There is of course one other explanation which I suppose we have to consider. Liberals just don't read.

AK47, please, for your own good. Do not look at this heat map. It will only hurt you. :)

Yes there is: an analysis from a low IQ brain may conclude that what is actually up "is down", and what is actually down, "is up".

Quote from tradingjournals:

I created an account of $100 to trade it for the purpose of this journal, which is to run a number of experiments that would involve (1) some new entry/exit methods I developed as approximations of some more demanding trading models, (2) some new money management methods, and (3) to ascertain whether small-money vs. big-money has effects on trading psychology.

I would be interested in reading input from experienced traders on how to keep a journal, whether it is worth it, and the metrics one should use to decide whether a journal is worth keeping.

You can make your bets on which would come first: The double of the $100, or its turning to ashes. My vote is the A., but I would not hate to be proved wrong.

Since $100 is small, I plan to trade currencies since one can trade with small amounts such as $100 sizes.

Inputs and questions are generally not welcome, except from the real experienced traders or the real newbies who want to exchange views on trading.

Also no input from sponsors is welcome here, as I do not wish to see sponsors jump on the thread and post filler material just to appear in front of traffic.

I reserve the rights to the content of this thread. I also reserve the right to move this thread and its content to a blog.

Let us start with a question. Suppose that one cannot stay in a trade beyond a time T (2 hours, 1 day, whatever). So the exposure time is fixed, but a trade can be closed early, and of course cannot be kept open after T time has elapsed since its opening.

Q1: what are your favorite probs of success and the corresponding risk/reward?

Q2. What is the theoretical payoff you would consider excellent? Payoff is here defined as expected value of gains divided by expected value of losses.

Q3: Assuming an efficient market, is there a max value for the ratio in Q2?
