You Can’t Win Them All…

Many
people are under the impression
that a
professional trader is successful on 80%-90% or more of their trades. While I
wish that were the case, nothing could be farther from the truth.

,
the first one does not trigger, and
the second give you only a small gain, if anything, before stopping you out.
However, on these types of trades, the risk is small. The trick is not to be
correct 80% or more of the time, but to keep the risk-to-reward ratio in your
favor, so that the winners make more in profit than the losers make your account
drop.

Until tomorrow,
