We challenge you to find another brokerage in the world that will make the following statement: We never, ever know which way the market is headed! (This is not to say we don't have a market bias, rather that we certainly aren't surprised when we're wrong.) So why trade with us, you ask? The answer is that you don't necessarily have to know where prices are headed to make money! In our opinion, money management is the single most crucial element to profitable trading. If there is 50/50 chance the market will move up or down 10.00, it doesn't matter whether you buy or sell. What matters is how much you risk each time and your level of capitalization. We seek trades, based on mathematical probabilities of price direction and let prudent money management take care of the rest. A few guidelines we advocate: Never risk more than 5% of trading capital on any trade, strive for a 4:1 risk to reward ratio, and always have a written profit and risk plan for each trade. Money management should also determine how many contracts you trade and acceptable loss levels.
