Funny, but, OP, there is nothing in common between risk and capital used. I can put in 10,000 into a trade and risk $17 plus trading fees by...
From the point of entry, 2% of my account with options. But once the trade is profitable, I have a completely different method for following it...
Not sure, I'd have to look up what arbitrage is. I'm sure it's directional though. I base my analysis on crowd theory. The agreement or discord...
Easy. I win about 2 of 3 times. That's 67 wins of 100, and 33 losses of 100 on average. Multiply the wins and losses by the Risk/Reward ratio....
Hey, that's pretty good! I washed out exactly 6 times (16% x 6 = 96%) before trading consistently. I like the reasoning. :)

OP I have to have respect for your question. It takes guts in a crowd like this :p half a million dollars per trade is a lot. The capital that...
Yeah, I've said something similar to this before, but that belief stems from being stuck with a mentality that a trader has to be smart, or right,...
I risk the same portion of the account for each trade, but not the same price per stock. If my trade setup is calling for a 30 cent risk limit per...
Perhaps most of the people you surround yourself with are not good for a trader to have as friends. Or just not good to talk with about trading.
