<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT size=2>&gt;I take the same trades each day, but how I manage each 
trade is dependent upon my read of the environment (discretion).&nbsp; You 
cannot trade the exact same size and exit the exact same &gt;way for every 
trade/environment.&nbsp; For example, a trending market requires a different 
approach than a range bound market.&nbsp; In the end it boils down to your 
ability to read the PRICE &gt;action and adopt your game plan to the current 
conditions - AND THEN EXECUTE.&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Many successful money managers trade systems that do take the same trades 
without trying to measure 'market environment'.&nbsp; The size of the trade is 
determined by the money management parameters which again are systemized 
rules.&nbsp; They do not change from trade to trade.&nbsp; One could also build 
rules to react differently to different 'market environments'.&nbsp; That would 
be part of the system.&nbsp; System or mechanical trading is not limited to 
anything but a set of rules that govern each and every trading decision.&nbsp; 
These rules are decided before hand.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>This example also assumes that one has a system that provides a market 
edge.&nbsp; This also assumes that the trader has the ability to correctly 
follow the system.&nbsp; Both of these are large assumptions and would be 
excellant discussions in themselves; however, they are outside the scope of this 
discussion.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>A system will have winning trades and losing trades, but the winning trades 
either from their number or their size, will make up for the losers and leave a 
profit.&nbsp; From this scenario the trader MUST trade the exact same way for 
every trade/environment.&nbsp; He/she has an edge.&nbsp; If the edge is used the 
same way every time over a large enough set, a profit will be made.&nbsp; The 
trader acts as the HOUSE in a casino.&nbsp; The edge works for him.&nbsp; You 
apply the edge the same way over and over.&nbsp; While you know certain market 
action will produce losing trades, you also know that the winning trades will 
overcome that.&nbsp; You do NOT want your judgment getting in the way.&nbsp; If 
someone was paying you 7-5 every time you correctly guessed heads but only 4-5 
every time you correctly guessed tails, you would not sit out flips or throw in 
some tails guesses.&nbsp; You would sit and guess heads until you had all the 
money you wanted.&nbsp; IF you can correctly determine 'market environment', 
then you should work that into your system.&nbsp; </DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Most good systems have fewer than three parameters, filters etc.&nbsp; They 
are very simple which adds to their 'robustness'.</DIV>
