That's one of my favorite books. However, I just use it for entertainment mostly.
It is always in this list for last several years. Read it many times.

Terms we used trading stocks...you keep adding as price is moving against you, you are not a trader, you are an investor.

And yeah, I can't think of any institution that would encourage it, nor any broker backing it, but there in lies the differences from what is done and what should be done.

I have recently read through a thread that has been moved to commercial, started by a member with multiple usernames who has recently been banned, where he states that a 750 pip draw is acceptable, but to make sure...
the thing is it sounds smart if he kept adding until it turned that means he bought at the floor or bottom and made a huge profit plus all the positions on the way back up

Wise decision, my friend. Since Friday, the postings, trumpeting their own follies, of several here have become more strident, bordering on trolling. Doesn't change the numerator of the thread's signal/noise ratio though, only the denominator.

Adding to a loser and waiting .......... and waiting that it might eventually turn profitable means you lose out (so called opportunity cost) on using that margin for other maybe more profitable trades.

Everyone here today, bar 2 12-yr olds have agreed wholeheartedly on just about anything on the thread, that surely must be a first.

Exactly. What in the world has been going on with the recent addition of blokes here lately.

The E/U thread oscillates in ways a lot like the market.

We have highs and lows in terms of the amounts of moronic posters.

It's one thing to call levels, and be right or wrong. It's another to spout how everyone else is wrong in the way they trade then turn around and laugh in their face, because they were right (for a change).

no if you had the money it would be a sure bet because the market always fluctuates this could actually be a valid trading strategy just go one direction use like a dollar cost averaging so you change the amount of bets wether market is higher or lower that month just always go one way then you 100% could have a position at a huge top or bottom huge profits

Some of the biggest banks and traders in the world did not have the money, you stand no chance.

Enjoy talking to Iggy. You'll have plenty of other 12-yr olds to keep you company. PTL will toss in some sweeties every once in a while to keep you going.
