Hi John,

I am generally pretty skeptical of anything Van writes, but out of ...

Hi Chris....

Have you read the book I mentioned?
I don't think the risk management that is covered there is anywhere near outdated.

Also, if you are a trend trader why are you predicting the market?

I found this to be an interesting article, it may shed some light on your question of when to start..... http://www.automated-trading-system.com ... ew-system/
