Risk how much or little. 1% keeps you in longer to bleed. Higher % risk are no fun for others. Where ever y'all put your stops, keep putting them there.

[quote=pipmutt;5745491]Evidently not if this thread is anything to go by, but that's classic coming from someone who advocates 1:1




lol, trade demo for 6 months, are you serious?!?

I've got a better idea, rather than throw out ridiculous challenges why don't you answer the questions that were asked? No, I didn't think so, it's easier to shift focus and blow smoke.

Ok how about this for an idea, you trade demo for 6 months and assume that I take the opposite side of all your trades. Come back in 6 months and let's see where we are.


Live then!

Just want to show you that other people can trade a different R:R and have similar results. This is common sense and logical and straight to the point.

The whole reason were here can someone who trades a 1:1 R:R receive the same gains as someone who trades 2:1 3:1 . That's the question it's been loud and clear all i have done is say yes a person can. Given the skillset is the same.

You have came here and naysayed the idea that a person with a 1:1 ratio won't do as well as a person who allows there winners to ride.
Well I simply disagree i believe that if a person enters the market he knows the reasoning of why he enters and has built his take profits and stop losses around his entry. He should know what risk reward works best for his entry. And no the best risk reward is not always let the winners ride. Plain and simple .

So i'm not sure what your questions are but i'm here to defend an open point of view that No 1 R:R fits for all.

I know this because i have traded the spectrum of risk rewards. The only thing that determines your risk reward is your entries. Your entries should be based around the risk your willing to take not your profits. First find low risk entries and mold a take profit around your risk.

All the stuff in between whatever!
My trades are 100% profitable 65% of the time!

Go for it, same applies, assume I'm taking the other side of your trades. 6 months then, see you back here!

The rest of your post is just regurgitating what's already been discussed.

Yo Cindy! I like to have fun here on the weekends. Those guys tear stuff up.

Me personally..I'm trying to put larger positions on more predictable trade outcomes, and average in (w/ smaller positions) on moderate-looking trades. Some tops/bottoms have a spike immediately afterwards to squeeze the front runners so an average in tends to work. This is done on the 1min chart. Probably much different MM than the other thread participants.

Of course risk---->0 is the goal after taking on a trade.

Hey Slim I will be the first to admit I'm a bit of a fk tard at times but in defining the meaning of a forum troll one need not look further than your posts.

You have nothing to say on the thread topics... Just here to stir up sh*t and push peoples buttons.. It's probably because you're a confident person in the real world but suck at trading... We all start somewhere but there's no need to pollute the forum with your ineptness.

Just saying...

Recent discussion might indicate that there's more than one way to trade and do so profitably (imagine that).

pipmutt and possibly others seem to have a problem understanding this basic idea.

It's just a thought you understand.

Now I'm not trying to be a troll or anything like that.

I just thought I would dare write a few words and see what happened.

I'm pretty scared about who might "get there dander up" over my post though.

Fantastic... I did read that. Why not just make that your sig then you will never have to post. It could apply to all threads. All topics. All arguments.

I'm more interested in what you personally do. Do you even trade? It's no crime if you don't.

I'm going to have to answer for pipmut. The only conceivable way to turn a profit is. LET YOUR WINNERS RIDE. Why not it's easy you just hold a little longer and the trade magically moves in your favor.

Fuck it just hold it forever.


If you have a 1:1 RR you are a total fucktard and you have been ill informed by that dip shit Jimmy.
