Default Re: roller coaster ride. How much volatility is usual?

i doubt reading ssh will help your volatility whatsoever. since this work recommends playing highly marginal hands, aggressively, your volatility will be multiples of the one you describe.

i know that miller swears afore god that he has testimonials from fellows sporting bankrolls of 300k, attributable to his work alone. which may be true---but you know, i have heard of similar claims made of miracle varieties of snake oil, that swear they cure the gout, tuberculosis, heart arhythmia, and various intractable strains of venereal canker. me, i dont have any idea what the truth is. but i can definitely tell you, you'll find yourself down someday, and it just gets worse. and worse. and worse. and if you dont know how to slow down, youre in for a severe collapse in your liquidity.

volatility is also a function of the opposition you're facing; play with tight passives produces less volatility than loose aggressives, etc.
