I just ask why didn't he? Were his 100s of trades yielding a couple bucks a pop? If you hit 100 trades in a row, you should be playing with a seriously fat BR. I don't care what you trade and how much you start with, futures trading is so heavily leveraged that you have to make a lot of money if you even pick 80% winners and put stops in place. Maybe ML was so obsessed with winning trades that he took unnecessary risks? Who knows, all I know is that it is true, if you hit that kind of percentage you should be calling up Bill Gates for computer advice and talking to George Soros about where to donate your charity this year.
