for daytrading stock in US markets?
I read a lot about limiting losses and maximizing gains due to the tendency for common patterns to fail "frequently".
What is considered a good ratio of winning to losing trades? 1:2? 1:3? 1:10?
Obviously the absolute value of each trade is going to determine whether i'm + or - at the end of the day. but is this like baseball where even the hall of famers fail more often than not? Again, by fail i just mean picking a winning trade or losing one.
