Its scary to think that your life may be completely different in 5 years from now, where now money is such a important commodity for survival, to one where money is so readily accessible that it becomes a afterthought and not a focus...

I don't need a lot to survive and don't want to be stinking rich, I like to keep things simple,

When I see how 'easy' (I say this with the deepest respect) some traders make this profession I get worried, I donno its almost like I feel that its not possible for me to get to that level, so that is also a worry...

And if I ever get that good, then the worry will be things like the NSA and Black Helicopters...

I don't know if any of this makes any sense but that's the head space I am in right now...


Being in that state of mind sounds self defeating. Yes your trading account can change dramatically in 5 years, but you need the emotional currency to get there. There are people that make millions trading so no-one is coming after you. :D

Another good video from Futurestrader71 Risk, Scaling, Probabilities and Trade Management http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_dYsUnoiLI

Just watched that nice vid.

Thinking of the rule of 70 helps me with trading math.

7% a month 70/7 ~ 10 months to double
2% a trade 70/2 ~35 net losses to half you account

70/0.5% = 140 periods or net wins/losses to double or half your account
70/1 = 70
70/2 = 35
70/4 = 18
70/8 = 9 .. seeming small increases make a significant difference

0.5 makes my account indestructible.

6-8 regularly makes it grow nicely over time.

Profit cushion is the bridge from one to the other.

Use some of said gains on an extreme it would be rude not to.

1. Big loss, 2. Small Loss, 3. Big Win, 4. Small Win --- just prevent 1.

I'm sure you'll be OK Jal - I don't think Helicopters are designed to get up those mountains :) - I'm surprised you can breath enough to trade up there!

I like what Futurestrader71 does, I wouldn't trade like him, but his supporting information is useful.

I also like this video from Mark Douglas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhKJ9P3agRc

There is much more to this business than analysis! :shock:

Way to much on this website to comment on

Agreed - its pulling useful stuff out to add/support your OWN trading ideas that's important - that coin toss section was very good

Thanks again for the useful links
