(a) My win percentage is over 50%
(d) My winning trades are smaller than my losing trades (dollar-to-dollar)
(e) I trade to a specific daily goal based in dollars and then stop

After analyzing 2010's trades I concluded that I should improve my money management rules.
More specifically, I should close out my losers faster.

My win rate is over 50%
My winners are always larger than my losers in both dollars and ticks.
I trade full time but it does not represent the majority of my income although I suspect that will change 1st quarter of 2011.

YoYoYo!

All the letters are on the other page so I can't see them to list them like other guys have... anyway

My win rate is more than 50%

The mode of winners vs mode of losers hovers around 50%, sometimes above sometimes below; The mean loser is bigger than the mean winner though; I do my conkers on a trade every now and again.

I trade full time and it's my primary source of income, even when I don't make any LOL

I don't have a fixed target for winning but I have daily / weekly loss limits etc...

My win percentage is below 50%.
My winning trades are larger than my losing trades (dollar to dollar).
I have no daily goal or loss limits on systems that trade 24/7.
I trade full time and it represents all of my income.
