Disliked{quote} Exactly. A small account to "play" at high risk ... and a bigger account to trade conventional risk. And that's very important to understand that this thread has nothing to do with a trading method/system. This is just money management. The trading method is yours. If you don't have a comfortable win rate at 2R method, you should skip this thread !Ignored
this thread is just to give people another look at how maybe LESS is MORE in terms of amount of trades taken,
if you can wait for the right trades and go much bigger each time.
i feel the same way
i feel having a small account to "play" on high risk, keeps me in check on bigger accounts
one account i just want the highest gains i can have, not really caring what the equity curve looks like.
and the other, the steadiest gains i can, with the least drawdown, a great looking equity curve
about 25% this summer quarter

i really cant ask for more than 100% a year with steady gains and low drawdown.
that is PLENTY if you think about it over 10 years.
the hard part is consistency.
to do that 10 years in a row (or even say, 8 out of 10 years) is a challenge few have ever completed
Be hopeful in a winning position, and fearful in a losing position.
