It is a common notion that after you have profits from your original equity, you can start taking even greater risks because now you are playing with "their money". We are sure you have heard this. Once you have profit, you're playing with "their money". It's a comforting thought. It certainly can't be as bad to lose "their money" as "yours"? Right? Wrong. Why should it matter whom the money used to belong to? What matters is who it belongs to now and what to do about it. And in this case it all belongs to you.
If you take the "wrong" but psychological helpfull "their" money out and just say. If you are winning then you can push it with more aggresive position sizing and when you are loosing you slow down and operate with smaller sizes. I think this is the same thing in the end. But probably this makes it easier to belevie because of the "wrong" THEIR MONEY wordingTheRumpledOne wrote:MightyOne posted this in another thread:

Brokerage houses are like casinos and when you make a deposit it is
similar to getting poker chips.
So now you join a poker tournament make some plays and you are up
about double what you bought in for
Who's money is it?
It is not your money until it is safe back home in your mattress.
And if you don't believe that then you probably never had a broker "close"
down and not give you back any of "your" money.
