The only thing that separates trading(speculating) from pure gambling is that in trading you place a "bet" when the odds are over 50% Oh darn, I guess that makes me a gambler because my best weeks are usually those where my winners account for less than 50% of my picks. IOW I think Risk/Reward is at least as and probably more important than being right more than half the time. Traders that I know that have accuracy over 60% are not making near the money as those I know that are at or below 50%. The need to be right all the time shortens their holding period and reduces overall profits. Oz
