LOL...I did say the above...you said something else. At this point I'll assume you are trolling and bid you a farewell! PS LMAO @ "Frugal living in a 3rd world country" - if all else fails, you have a good shot at being a comedian...lol. ;):rolleyes:

I did not say this. It makes me wonder whether you are actually trying to have a constructive debate or whether you are simply trolling when you completely misquote me... We'll have to agree to disagree on the correlation between success and integrity of knowledge :) Re: "So, you have 11+...

Umm...no. My success, or lack thereof, has nothing to do with the integrity of the comment that I made. Good advice can come from bad practitioners and bad advice can come from good practitioners. All I will say is the aforementioned qualities are all you need to succeed. The result isn't...

Explain :)

Where is the "tumbleweed" emoticon...? lol.

That depends...is he like "most people"? If you have enough perseverance, grit, determination and humility (to admit when you need to change course) it is highly likely you will succeed.

My sentiments exactly.

LMAO! I'm a "parasitic trader"!!!

Thanks for clarifying...it dawned on me that that could have been what you meant as I made my way upstairs to the PC (was on the mobile/cell before). Can I take a moment to say that I LOVE the word "discombobulated"?! lol. On emotional responses: I completely agree. For me, awareness through...

I'm not sure what the "no" was aimed at as you've pretty much rehashed one part of my argument.. :) The other part, was the distinction between being the catalyst for changing emotion in an audience (as a performer) as opposed to being an observer of the collective emotion (what I call "the...

I found your comment really interesting (re: dancing and music). Having been heavily involved in the dance/performance industry for 19 years and counting, I realized - some years into my trading journey - that, for the most part, my experiences as a dancer, dance teacher & performer were working...

This was going to be the basis of my comment! Definitive "success" can only, sadly, be declared when you are dead and and all the chips have been counted... ...or you could define success over a given period of time/sample size. But I think most people are looking for the former.
