The real secret to making money in the markets is simply by having bigger winners than losses. A robust system may only have a 50/50 win rate but the half that are winners are much bigger than the other half that are losers. That is the key to winning at trading, not stock picking, not some secret formula that will get you in at the bottom and out at the top. Winning traders simply have small losses when they are wrong and big wins when they are right. They don’t have to be right every time they just have to be right big and wrong small. It makes no difference what method you use to achieve this you just have to be consistent in your method once you have found a winning one.
