If it all goes to shit, what will it matter? Supplies and weapons would be the currency of that day.

If either sum was all the money I had in the world, I would be far more conservative with $100 than I would with a billion.

Multiple entries with tight stops and a nice 200 pip drop will do that. If we see a point and think price will drop 100 pips, why settle for one 1-3% entry? Why not enter, and enter, and enter again? If our analysis is good, we're just leveraging ...

Perving and pips, good stuff. Who says guys can't multitask? Don't think there's any doubt on direction here, between the fireballs and erruptions. Unless Mother Earth has a sense of humour.

According to your post, your disagreement is based on whether it is emotionally/financially tolerable, rather than mathematically justifiable. It can be mathematically sound while being financially unacceptable for the trader (most of whom don't ...

There's a few values missing for it to be considered much of a theory. Consider one trader who risks 4% on his trades, and averages a 40% return per trade, to a trader who risks 2% per trade and earns just 10% on average per trade. Who is trading ...

In a world (internet trading forums) where 1-2% is thrown around as a responsible amount to risk, I assume that your statement of "small" means 1% or less. You could probably trade far larger and still be mathematically sound, but you don't for ...

The maths works either way, it's an emotional issue. You didn't ask what I meant by relative, anyway.

Cobra, you could be more wrong, but you're still way off base. I'm comfortable with the possibility of losing 10 trades in a row precisely because I know I trade decently, and that if and when that day comes, it will only be a bump in the road. I've ...

Oh come on. It's pretty obvious we all sit around watching porn all day, and that we all know that pic is of a Japanese porn star named Maria.

And what makes you the authority? Believing in something doesn't make it fact. To believe you can't have 10 losses in a row is to believe that at some point, the outcome of your trades is certain (in your favour). If there's certainty, why don't you ...

Makes no difference if we win 50%, 60% or 99%, there's still a chance we lose for any number of consecutive trades. Like I've said, as long as there's a chance we can lose the next trade, there's a chance we can lose the next 10. Please show me a ...

Go go 90/00. I'm hugely bearish, but then I've been waiting for (though not trading for) the double dip. Between the global and ez problems, and itchy triggers fingers ready to sell this piece, I think it's likely. Who knows though, markets are ...

I get the impression we're going to go south hard. As much as I like entering on the retrace, requiring it leads to a lot of missed opportunity.
