Position Size Can Be More Important Than the Entry Price


Too many traders focus only on the entry price and pay insufficient attention to the size of the position. Trading too large can result in good trades being liquidated at a loss because of fear.

On the other hand, trading larger than normal when the profit potential appears to be much greater than the risk is one of the key ways in which many of the Market Wizards achieve superior returns. Trading smaller, or not at all, for lower probability trades and larger for higher probability trades can even transform a losing strategy into a winning one.

For example, Edward Thorp, who started out devising strategies to win at casino games before achieving an extraordinary return/risk record as a hedge fund manager, discovered that by varying the bet size based on perceived probabilities, he could transform the negative edge in Blackjack into a positive edge. An analogous principal would apply to a trading strategy in which it was possible to identify higher and lower probability trades.

Dear Traders /Readers ,Just click above links and u will see from what level Iam Bullish in Indian Rupee.

While looking at chart of INR against GBP ,EURO ,USD and JPY -Just thought came in my mind and thinking what will be the impact on Indian Software Companies or any negative impact on results for this quarter ?

-Indian Rupee had appreciated by 9% since Dec’09 against British Pound

-Indian Rupee had appreciated by 9% against Euro

-Indian Rupee had appreciated by 3% against USD since Dec’09

-US Dollar is strong against all world currencies except India

-I Don’t understand when  USD ,GBP ,EURO  were strong against INR…Then results of Indian Software companies were mind blowing and stocks were zooming up up up.

-Now since INR is so strong against all 3 currencies then also no impact on stock price and nobody talking and writing ??

-Apart from Software Companies ,What will be the impact on the companies those exporting in Europe ,UK ,USA ?

Just think it over and if possible comment

Evolutionary Trading

evolutionary_educationThe problem with “evolutionary trading” is the constant adjusting to the ever changing wind, and, thus, loosing sight of your original port of call. By the time you get to your final destination, you have carved out a new routine.

Knowing exactly, precisley, what your set-ups can deliver, will prevent you from manipulating your original system. This internalization of singular vision, can only come from tirelessly backtesting.
