It jibes a lot with what I've read over the years from other traders.  George Soros, for example, said you only need to be right 4 out of 10 times to make money in the market.  But, you need to cut the losers fast.  I've also heard this from other well known traders.  Anyways, interesting read.

Great article. Key seems to be to find the style that fits your personality...

The best part about this article is how CIS insists upon his anonymity, and then proceeds to give away everything an interested party would need to identify him.

"control-A to guzzle a healing potion " - Now that's good to know.

 

I hate this line every time I hear it: "The trick is to sell the losers fast while letting the winners ride." Of course. That's the trick! That has to be the most repeated trading maxim I hear.

 

I'm not putting the guy down though. Sounds like he's smart and good at what he does. Interesting.

This reminds me of "buy what goes up, if it doesn't go up, don't buy"
