I remember there was an article some .... 7 years ago from a big firm (must have
been in FUTURES or in WSJ):
they analyzed 3 different account sizes and that was the KEY to success.
small account ( <10k or so)...... 95% + loosers
medium account (>10 <250)...less but still a lot % looser (dunno the number)
BUT: accs over 250had a WINNER ratio of 45%+ !!!
to me it comes down to ENOUGH funds and ENOUGH experience - hardly you
will find a 250k acc which will NOT meet BOTH criteria, as if you have that money
it needed some TRICK to get there (besides the right parents) :-)
so come on...... who got that ARTICLE ??????? its outta there somewhere
