By:
OK me buckos. 'tis the hour fer Rule 7. I woe ye have all had a chance to give a go' out th' first 6 rules.
|
|
By:
Rule 7) Be prepared to downsize in bad times.
What 'tis means be that if ye lose 50% 'o ye buried treasure, ye need to scale ye stakes below by 50% as well. ye gunna get inevitable losin' streaks. Indeed, ye gunna lose more often than ye win. What ye have to do be protect ye buried treasure at all costs, 'n 'tis means that from the hour to the hour ye need to scale below, just like ye need to scale up in jolly times. |
|
By:
Cap'n. I like t' cut o' your jib! I been followin t' rules and making a pretty penny.
|
|
By:
Rule 3) murder ye losers.
If ye open a trade 'n it goes worng, th' quicker ye murder it, th' better. Could you be more specific? Just like leaving a woman after the first row, laying Federer after he has lost his first serve may not be the best strategy... |

**Edison, A jolly inquiry that be.
What I mean be that ye have to have a stop loss, 'n hold tightly to it. A simple method be to define an acceptable loss fer a trade, fer example 2% 'o ye buried treasure, so that if th' trade costs ye 2%, ye exit. Another method be by usin' a fixed number 'o ticks, shout 5 or 10 to exit. Another way be usin' a fixed odds limit to be reached to trigger ye exit. ye don't need to get too technical 'bout it, just remember...murder th' losers fast 'n get out. On to th' next trade. |

Captain any more pearls of wisdom for your fellow seamen?? we need some treasure!!
|
|
By:
It's my guess the captain won't be replying till racings over for today. He's probably busy trading away having washed up at the port of Wolverhampton
|

Avast me harties.
Wer be de venrable Cap'n Snapper? Be his parrot be sick and be he sick as his parrot? Be me needing to bulk up me treasure trove. :( |

By:
**me buckos! 'tis the hour fer Rule 7)
Rule 7) Be a contrarian or trend follower accordin' to ye temperment. ye have to understand that contrarians (back high, lay low)win more trades, but have lower profit. Trend followers (back low, lay high) win less often, but win more doubloons in th' long run. If ye be not a patient person, it be best to be a contrarian trader. . |
|
By:
If ye find yourself gettin' angry extra often, or frustrated, it be a signal from th' lady 'o th' market that ye change ye style. Persoanlly, I prefer trend followin' 'n th' satisfaction 'o ridin' a big trend, but thar be times when I would like to be a contrarian. ye can change back 'n forth, but remember that each has 'tis own jolly 'n bad sides.
Neither be better than th' other, but one can be better fer ye at that the hour |
|
By:
Ha Haarrggh.Looks like rule 7 be identifying me trading style.Must be contrarian to be backing low and a laying high as me doubloons seems to be sinking to bottom o' ocean.
|
|
By:
I think he might have meant back low lay lower, maybe? Any more tips?
|
|
By:
I admit I'm puzzled by rule 7.
|
|
By:
Think he might mean "laying low and backing high" I've a feeling he's been at the rum and grog barrels again and doing a little laying low himself
|
|
By:
Maybe he be laying wenches or sailors??
|
|
By:
" ---or sailors " ?
Oh dearie me. |
|
By:
The wildest and most unwarranted speculation, imo.
|
|
By:
Come on then Cap'n Its more flesh on the bones of Rule 7 thats needed. Us landlubbers be a little confused
|
|
By:
I was referring to this "sailors" business.
|
|
By:
**me buckos. thar seems to be some questions regardin' Rule 7. 'n th' difference between contrarians 'n trend traders. If ye oppose th' trend, ye be a contrarian - ye back only when th' price be high 'n ye lay when it be lower, 'n vice-versa. If ye be a trend follower ye be grog-filled happy to back low prices ( 'n lay it again lower later) 'n ye be grog-filled happy to lay high prices ( 'n back them even higher later).
|
|
By:
In my early days as a pirate I turned $40 into $4000 within 3 months being a trend follower. Then I did the same in 3 months being a contrarian.So, it seems that both styles are valid and it only matters which you prefer.
|

By:
Is the captain still grindin away ??? or has he jumped overboard??
|
|
By:
I fear he sailed too near those Somali pirates whose trading strategy consists of stealin' yer ship and demandin' ransom
|
|
By:
Perhaps he just finished outlining the rules.
|
|
By:
he'll be back when he gets paid. Swabbing the decks is not a great earner
|

By:
**me buckos
.Lots 'o a ruckas this day as me buried treasure has grown by 15%. In fact, i reckon that ye can reasonably hit 10% per day. If ye be compoundin', 'tis gunna double ye buried treasure in 7 days. Always think in terms 'o percentage profit 'n concentrate on doublin' ye buried treasure. |
