FWIW I remember reading Dr Brett's comments a while back. Apparently he became more pessimistic about retail trader expectations after a private...
He was my first ignore too! :p "5% win. They just win!" LOL
I'm a little lost when it comes to strategy design for discretionery trading and wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction. I can...
Looks pretty straightforward to me. Why would someone have been stopped out? Unless I'm looking at the wrong part of the chart or...
