So you got my point:
A chilly gambler are more chance to be successfull by gambling same bet each time.
Some people are more lucky for awhile then reality check kicks in,the gambler only thinks about the win,that's why they can't step away from the table until their wallet is empty.

Does the following theory makes sens to you.
A pure gambler must have more chance to be successfull at trading rather than a wannabe trader!?.... why?
A wannabe trader lose 90% sure!... while the the odd is 50%
takes 100 people trading randomly market... 50% chance that 50% of them are successfull. while 100 randoms traders, we got 90% of loosers!
Hummm how come?
@CrazyTrader
You do not understand stats.
90% of retail traders fail.
It does not mean such trader lose 90% of their trades.
He can lose just 10% and has wrong trade size for example.
Stats 101 basics!

This is what we call a trader... 100% of wannabe traders have blown an account!
Statistics... there is no difference between a trader and a gambler.
A gambler get randoms bet thinking it is bearish or bullish... while a trader gets more deeply knowlegde (technical or fundamental)
At the end... the retail traders aren't better than a gambler that you don't want to be. but they both the same. Don't ego too much between traders or gambler... it's the same.
My crazy trades as gambler makes me better than a lot of traders who stick to stupid MM rules.

CrazyTrader, so you think that RMM rules are stupid? Well if you loose $50.000 just because you did not use the appropriate protection of your trading account, how would you feel then? I bet you would revalidate RMM rules at that point! There is much to learn and to read about RMM that it will surely enhance any traders portfolio and knowledge by doing so. I would suggest that traders who would like more ideas on this so important subject, just google RMM Robot or rmmrobot, it will give advice for free! How to protect the trading account, regardless of what kind of trading platform the trader is using.

How many retail traders can manage to invest $50.000 or more?
Most of us have less than $5.000... I would say it represents over 90%.
So now that MM are so great... how come accounts blown out everyday all over the world?
Sticking to hedge funds rules is just inappropriate for low capital investment... That's my point of view.
Now I will show how to gamble market... making good profits with very low capital.

Both traders and gamblers have chances, and luck factor isn't avoidable. But for traders, technical and fundamental are part of them before execute their opportunity.

Gamblers don't wait for chances they trade on gut feelings and high risk periods to trade,that next trade will be a winner concept,fundamentals are mostly baked in before hand,joe soap is last to know.Cool character Samsu.

Some newbie traders do the same, trade on gut feelings, risking they money without any concept/analysis. But less of them will learn how to analyze market before execute their order.

Regardless if we are labeled as traders or gamblers, protecting the account is the primary goal and sound RMM to be able to survive in the long run is needed. Now way around the fact that every successful gambler or trader will confirm this as a corner stone in their path to success.

All our life is restricted by rules...
Trading can be an exception... why would you implement restricted rules on your way to success with MM rules?
Take them off... and trade with free money.
- If you lose your account (saving you placed from hard work) despite MM rules... you have 100% loss and 0% profit. (respectful trader)
- If you lose free money... you have 0% loss and 0% profit (smarter gambler)
=> So by trading free money, the only risk you take is to win money being free of rules.
Personnaly, my choice is done. : )
ps: 2 new accounts (free money) created based on my last gamble

CrazyTrader I can understand your euphoria at the moment, if you are ahead. The thing is that it will not always go your way. The market changes, we do too, and ups and downs will be a part of the over all trading. Why not be at peace and except the inevitable of the fact that this is what trading is all about, ups and downs will happen and we have to be in control and cool in the down turn moments and the same goes when we are ahead of course. Protect our self and minimize losses when we are down and lock in profits when we are having a very positive period in our trading.

Ho yes I know!
Gambling is the fastest way to blow up accounts.
I was up to 5 accounts and I lost 4.
I had only 1 left then and now I have 7.
I have already said that in fact I'm using a very specific MM.
My MM is to trade with 10 accounts... when I will get there, I will start to compound profit.
It's all about managing risk as you said... but having 10 accounts without MM is better than havin 1 account with strict MM.
Simply because naturaly, the whole risk is divided by 10.
