[You can’t make money every day from trading if you don’t have this one thing…]
Let’s play a game…
– If you toss a coin and it comes up heads, you win $2
– If you toss a coin and it comes up tails, you lose $1
– You can only toss the coin once a day
Now let me ask you…
Do you think you can make money every day from this coin toss?
Of course not.
Because on any day, there’s a 50% chance you either get head or tail—and if it comes up tail, you’ll lose $1.
But what if you can toss the coin 1,000 times per day? How would things change?
Let’s see…
If you toss a coin 1,000 times, you’ll likely get around 500 heads and 500 tails.
(Every time it comes up heads, you win $2. If it’s tails, you lose $1.)
So if you do the math, you’ll end up with a net gain of $500.
Now let me ask you…
If you had this “special” coin and could toss it 1,000 times per day, do you think you can make money every day from tossing this coin?
Yes!
So, what’s the lesson here?
The frequency of your coin toss matters.
You might be wondering:
“What has this got to do with trading?”
Everything!
Because if you want to make money every day from trading, your frequency of trades plays a huge role.
That’s because the more trades you can do within a short period of time, the faster the law of large numbers can work in your favour (think of the coin toss example).
