Hi,

I would like to first thank CV for the link.

Actually I have downloaded the game and was trying to get through level one. I found that I dont exactly understand the concept of R multiples. How is it relevant in the real market, in the sense that we know how much we lose because we put a stop loss, but how can anyone be sure of the potential profits and what is meant by a 5R loser ? If the number of shares is 100 and my stop loss is 1 dollar below the entry point, how can I lose 500 dollars even if the probability of that happening is only 5% ?

Secondly, if I am following the most popular money management principles, I should not risk more than 1 or 2 % of my capital on any one trade. So that actually kind of fixes the R multiple isnt it ?

Thirdly, can the stop loss or risk for each trade be predetermined in real life without taking into account what stock I am talking about ? I assumed that the stocks which have greater swings require a more liberal stop loss than ones which trade in a narrow range and the trade size to be adjusted accordingly. So what exactly does the game try to teach ?

I myself know that I sound terribly naive, but then since I can't figure it out anyway, I guess I have to ask. Will be really grateful for some clarifications.

Thanks and regards,
Snowy.
