a1 perhaps you should have another re-read of that almarmac. What must be understood now is that we are in most unusual times where previous trading values are out the door. That article says as much about recent success rates.
In that I infer that taking a stance for trading is very difficult and often, over the past few years, frustratingly impossible.
Also those leveraged efts lose money as a matter of their existence so a long term trade's profit can be downgraded by slippage due to the buying/selling short term futures contracts.
