10 decades of what? This may just be the equivalent of a couple of months of full time trading, which is not much. That said, I feel that a fantastic trader must have a sharp mind, and individuals with sharp minds learn fast.
All of the talk of money management is placing the cart before the horse.
Dropping to 1 percent or choosing a certain R:R won't make him a fantastic trader. He needs to spot good opportunities, and it is extremely unlikely he's doing so. There are also no golden rules regarding R:R or risk amount. I'd drop the proposal of R:R altogether, as the focus should be on good decision making, rather than trading by some arbitrary figure. Good trading, and the likelihood, risk and reward will all work out.Originally Posted by ;
