Thread: How to be a real trader

Nothing new here.

Bottom line: How can one survive (no, profit) at a year of the two sideways and trending markets? You can't see what's going to happen before it occurs.

The answer is: Run two distinct egies on two distinct accounts... one which works in trending, and one which does well in sideways.

Trade both with high leverage, and try to compound the crap out of one of both accounts.

When it happens to be quite choppy or good trends, an individual will outshine the other with some sort of exponential parabola. An individual can get crushed while the other is making a killing.

Nownothing lasts forever, so at any stage you want to take everything off the table and begin over.


The Risk: several flip flops between trending and sideways markets should cripple both accounts. However, you knew that before you began, right?


Constantly open to debate and agreement-- what could you do in this crazy game we are in?

Ah.... Compound the crap from.... That does not mean to not use money management....

Personally I put 40% of my account at stake, and in the conclusion of every month, if the account is under what I began with, I replace the losses with my book. If the account is down in the end of the month, but still above the initial 40%, I really do nothing.

The idea here is to
1) Not allow one bad month wipe out the account
2) Utilize the Butterfly Effect to have enough cash risked during the beginning of a hot winning streak

Is this a fact?

Nope. Nobody knows anything.

Otherwise, mortgage your house on that next sure exchange;-)

BTW Tdion whilst Im here I got your PM back but dont worry I composed that ages past and in between some regulations are different and the whole thing I was planning about is now void!

Thanks anyway

Why is it that you need 2 accounts?
Commerce one account with 2 egies which you know give you a statistical chance to make money.

Plus it is dependent upon your time frame. There's always a tendency on one time period and congestion in another.

Hello lsubeano!

I trade two account because I want to compound one and let another one fall apart.

I get what you are saying. But in the end, frequently we find that a pair in some type of prevailing feature.

I don't want a egy that's doing well to be handicapped by one that isn't doing well.


Of course, I am assuming one of both will do well....

That's not to say that your way of doing things will not conquer my way from 1 year to another....

It's only my own logic in play.

Lsubeano

an additional thing

If I exchange two egies on a single account, I'm limited to how much margin I can use on every transaction, since I may need to start a 2nd trade later to your 2nd egy.

That is another huge stage...

I ALWAYS just open one commerce with maximum leverage on every account to compound as swiftly as possible. (At least, the maximum that the 40% at risk lets me... remember that the other 60% is off limits until It's needed)
