if you were starting out in business, say for example, as a one-man-band motor dealer, would you invest all your capital in one car, maybe a nice shiny Lamborghini ? have it sat on your driveway with a For Sale sign and hope for the best ?
Or would you instead buy half a dozen BMWs, Mercs etc that a) diversify your risk and b) may be easier and quicker to sell ?
I concede to nobody on the point that trading should be run like a business. Any business man knows there are several crucial ingredients to evaluating the performance of a business and ensuring success:
1) CashFlow is king !
2) ROI
Have you taken into consideration your actual ROI% once you do become profitable, based on the amount of capital (margin) that you had tied up in your trade ?
And have you adjusted for another important business factor ?
3) Opportunity Cost ?
How much could you have been making elsewhere with your money whilst your capital was tied up in margin ?
Your approach to trading is fun and it certainly provides a lot of people with enjoyment while they await your inevitable crash & burn.
But a business it ain't ..............
