Re: [Metastockusers] Re: Does a profitable system exist??

If one has a system that consistently looses money - (in other words the 
system has more dollar-amount in losing trades than winning trades) , then 
would it be considered a "contrarian profitable system" ? If this losing 
system indicated to buy a stock in reality to make money one should rather 
short a stock (or buy a put) and vice-versa.

Theoretically speaking, a system must be consistent - it may either be 
winning most times or losing most times (glass is half-full or half-empty 
paradigm).
Would such a system considered consistent ? Would such a system has a strong 
prospect of being profitable ?
Any thoughts ??

Tonik,
Trading stocks is like fishing, you have to know what kind of bait
to use, otherwise the fish won't bite!
One system might work quite well on most stocks that are trending,
but will get wiped out on non-trending stocks.
Is your system based on indicators or Price action? Or a combination
of both?
Use stops to protect yourself!
