Hello Bill,


I'm pleased you read the reply as I hadn't seen you around for a 
couple of days and thought you might have disappeared.

Trialling (it's not in my dictionary either - I haven't been to 
school for a while) = = trial and error (paper trading or virtual 
trading where you visualise the outcomes of your systems in your 
minds eye or imagination).

I base this approach on my theory of success (template) = = theory
(reading?)followed by practice (backtesting?) followed by application 
(trading or virtual trading) and then back to the drawing board to 
fix up your mistakes - the path to success is perpetual application 
of the above cycle (continuous improvement in business terms).

I discussed *The Success Template* in more detail in a previous topic 
on Trading Psychology.
It was of minority interest only and some forum members didn't like 
it at all so it may not be to your taste either.

Trading bank = = trading capital = = the amount of money you have to 
trade with.
Depending on your definition of ruin i.e all of your capital is gone 
or 50% of your capital is gone, once you trade to ruin it is game 
over until you can put together another stash (by the way ruin isn't 
in my trading goals).

I understand your point on AccDis.

I am a liberal and free thinker.
As far as I am concerned feel free to speculate and use examples etc 
in discussions.
There is no pressure on from me to be correct.
It is only a discussion.

If you are going to write a book etc it is a different matter.

P.S

I am not a training guru so feel free not to believe anything you 
can't verify for yourself.
When in doubt put it in the holding pen.
If it doesn't stack up throw it in the rubbish bin.
