Generally I agree, but I can also see the case where someone keeps less money in trading account, & either needs, or uses the ultimate discipline...
Sounds reasonable, on an active day. But often, a more profitable day is one where one just holds a position, without many incr, decr, or partial...
Not true. It has been shown many times that trading can be taught. Now if one were constitutionally opposed to money, that might be an issue.
I think I posted a few days ago, but while many thoughts re changes in mkts, etc., in this thread are correct, there really is only one macro...
I'm not into martial arts; just a fan of Bruce Lee & similar films, but practicing 10000 kicks also assumes you figured out which kick to practice.
A little odd, because every top trader in the world who manages money, so there are real records, have gone thru multi-YEAR draw down periods.
When still learning, I worked for a trader, who turned 100k, into 100 million, over a few years. That was > 40 years ago. He had many accounts,...

I've traded mostly futures, full-time for 40 years; active (even past 12 months, had more than one day with > 1,000 lots,) and I think even now...
Thanks
Years ago, before WealthLab was bought, I had the owner customize WealthLab for me. I worked closely with him for I think a few months. It was an...
Thanks, but I looked quickly at Linnsoft site, & although it seemed program does optimize (via posting in forum,) it was certainly not featured by...
Re #1: I've seen software to backtest, but only test one fixed set of vars. So one might test a 10 & 20 SMA, going back years. But the software...
That was merely a trivial case. I have extensive backtesting optimzation experience, albeit 20 years ago. Again, with 25 vars, my typical run...
Thanks, but my style of trading, including exchange membership when I was 21, requires intra-day. But even systems I developed that held...
