That is Martingale Trading and he continues to hold with the GBP/USD trading at 1.7142

That post was written when the GBP/USD was at 1.6813 - you do the math.

I hope I have answered your question.

In that post you're talking about someone else...but do you believe a position trader needs a stop loss regardless of martingale?

Interesting that you mentioned discipline.Such a good subject that I re-read "trading in the Zone" 2nd time and 2nd time original Market Wizards.
What stroked me that all successful traders do have principles and discipline to take a loss or take profit.Grey area is what an expert trader does and average trader does is hugely different..
We have been drilled in trading books about "cut the loser quick" but its not always right thing to do.
From Market Wizards
Tom Baldwin-The Fearless Pit Trader
great interview


So, if you realize you don't like the trade anymore, you'll get out, but you'll pick your time?
Right, but I will get out.
Let's say you are doing that on a day when the market is a one-way street. At what point do
you just have to cough it up?
It depends how far it has gone against you. If it's against you a long way, at some point you just
throw it in. Those days happen maybe three or four times a year. You just start bailing out.
But you usually have a feel for when that is the thing to do?
Yes, because it has happened before.
But normally, if you are just a bit behind in a trade, you are better off if you let the market
move a little in your direction and try to sell on strength, or buy on weakness, instead of just
trying to dump it in a hurry?
Right.
Is that a key element to your trading style?
Yes. Never give up on a trade. Many traders who are in a losing trade will just get out because they
were taught that you have to have discipline. Great. Those traders will always be around. But if
they just had some patience and said, "Yes, it is going to be a losing trade, but instead of getting out
here at 7, maybe if I wait and just sweat it out for another minute, I can sell at 10."
Is it a matter of just wanting to get out to stop the pain? And if they were willing to stand the
pain a little longer, they would be better off. Is that a fair way of putting it?
Yes. They give up too quickly. In most cases, if you don't give up, you might be able to turn a five yard
loss into a two-yard loss.
In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

No I disagree with that Pit Trader, Davit. If your trade is right the market shouldn't be anywhere near the stop loss...if it is...well...then trade's not right.

btw..people being interviewed in books like this or tv documentaries for that matter, they aren't really successful traders...for one reason or the other they're looking for publicity.....

Traders picked for interviews were all multimillionaire successful traders.
Lucian Thomas Baldwin III is a bond trader investor and founder of the Baldwin Group of companies. He was described by the Wall Street Journal as the trader who can singlehandedly move the Treasury bond market.[1] His preferred instrument to trade is the 30-year bond in the pits of the Chicago Board of Trade.

I don't know about you but I personally can't qualify myself to disagree based on my treading experience and results.

@Davit:

Let it go

"A man convinced against his will, is still of the same opinion"

You have made your point, I fully understand and there will always be persons who won't understand.

What is most important here, is that "YOU UNDERSTAND" and it is very clear that YOU DO.

Davit you can't pick a role model from an interview in a book or because his name was mentioned in a newspaper.
You never saw the guy's trading results or ever verfied it
but you see you results, your experience everyday...that's ALL you can trust.

No reason to interrupt a perfectly sound discussion between two persons which has nothing to do with you, Sir.

I don't know if you know but I am an artist.To develop as an artist its customary to copy masters for years before one can say "I am an artist".Along the line you start developing your own style.
Its honest appreciation that they are people out there better then you.I recognize this fact and that's why my trading is improving by every month.I consciously read, research everything.I still have long way to go.Role models inspire me.I have too many Jesse Livermore,Richard Donchian just few I greatly admire.
