Doug, "50% is untradeable."

"THAT is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
10 trades, properly executed, 5 of which break below support and 5 of which hold support."


Not so ridiculous when you really think about it.

A fair coin flipped has a 50/50 chance of falling heads EACH time.

So in a 50% system 10 trades may very well go right 10 in a row. Or bad 10 in a row.

No money management can help. In the long run slip, com, and loss eat you up. The odds are against you. Maybe HUGE capital can keep you in the game longer.

I would rather call "heads" when I have a 65% chance of being right. More wins. Less losses. And with proper risk reward ratio and strict money management you can beat the odds.

You need a weighted coin to win the game...
