Atokys replied Mar 12, 2016The reasons for price action are complex. Trading price action is simple. Its the same difference as wanting to understand fluid dynamics and surfing a wave. Yup, those kinds of people are all over this place.

Atokys replied Mar 11, 2016Yeah ok... The needlessly long exposition on the 'random system' was so that I could steer the discussion towards the random walk theory which most people cynical about profitable trading tacitly subscribe to. The doom and gloomers tend to fall into ...

Atokys replied Mar 11, 2016Thank you for sharing your process. A system than randomly enters and exits the market risking a fixed percentage of the account each time would more than likely give you breakeven results over the long run (less transaction costs). Perhaps you ...
