Market Discussions

..Sure, make fun of pubbies....while you rub elbows with pubbies.
You are trying to make fun of a specific demographic, while trying to fit in wih that same demographic?

Or should I say: you are trying to convince a specific demographic that you are some kind of elite. And you want to mingle with this demographic, as long as they acknowledge you as an elite. But just as you want to be accepted into this demographic, you want the free reign to talk **** about those who you mingle with.

Let me break down your posts here in a synopsis:

You are vague. Why? So you can sound knowledgeable without any skin in what you talk about.


Just because I don't post with my GS pilot, or TEST pilot, or my Tusker pilot, or my E-Uni pilot.

This pilot serves a different goal. Are you so short sighted to know that people have multiple alts?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha you are actually doubling down on this congrats you have disproven everything you've ever said on trading

here's a hint: for every random time X, you could have bought or sold

the price is either up, or down

if it is down and you sold, you win, if it is up and you bought, you win, if it's either of the other two combinations you lose

you picked to buy or sell randomly, you have a 50/50 chance of winning or losing, and it is irrelevant whether the market tends to go up or down (the amount you win or lose will average out to the market's expected rate of return given your rate of transactions)

the time doesn't matter, it drops out since it's irrelevant to the analysis

you have stated a thing that is clearly, unambiguously, wrong, and backed it up with the same thing that supports every one of your claims (your "empirical evidence from trading")

your claim is flatly wrong. math proves it is wrong. you have been given a chance to back down and staked your claim on something that is unambiguously wrong, trying to pretend that factors irrelevant to the math affect the math

checkmate, bitches

I take it you have never done a RL market transaction?

No trader who wants to work for more than a week (before going bankrupt) would put a buy or sell order "as is", there's always, always, always a stop loss to set up.

If you don't put it, the market will unceremoniously teach you anyway, since there's a second stop loss called margin call and when it happens your account is gone.


Edit: suffice to say, that these days, even entering with a 70% win chance it then takes some skillful enough money management to turn any profit in. With 50% I think I only know one person who could stand a chance, and he would have to work totally hard.

Edit2: anyway don't take my word for sure, try simulating say 1000 trades with a coin toss script (plus stop loss of course) and see how good it'll do. You'll also be sternly introduced to the concept of "drawdown" in the process.
