Ok so I'm back, and I've been doing some thinking. I guess it's time to eat crow and apologize. As much as I lashed out at this thread, I have to admit that something about it did intrigue me. Perhaps some part of me was trying to prevent the obvious from being discovered. I had a bit of...

An interesting post indeed. I had a great day running stops on the EUR/USD today. Anyone else? :)

I'm actually very adept at pattern recognition. Your writing styles appear to me to be the same person attempting to intentionally create different writing styles. Your overuse of certain unique words (like how you constantly say "Sir!") does not at all seem natural. Each one of you has a quirky...

Fair enough. I disagree with you, but you are entitled to your opinion on it of course.

Did I say that every day trader has problems? Should I remind you that I trade as well? You're a bit defensive. Look around these forums (or any trading forums) and tell me you don't see a very large number of people who are quite obviously trying to convince themselves that they are going to...

I'm actually fairly certain that RN and the OP (along with several other characters in this thread) are the same person, and that much of this thread consists of the OP talking to himself. Did you ever notice how daytrading seems to attract people with social problems and mental illness?

Redneck, it is no secret that when you are trading, your worst enemy is yourself. Most people get that after a bit of trading. The ego will always lead you down the incorrect path. The ironic thing here is that you guys are using your "egoless" philosophy to pump up your egos here on the forums...

Careful with that. It WAS kicking hard last week only because of the US government acting like they're getting their act together (which was a lie). Anyone who was smart enough to get on that after the first higher low/high easily rode that wave of false hope to sweet glory. Same with USDJPY of...

The reason I just replied is because I just found the thread. I don't really read any trading forums. I figured out they are mostly nonsense pretty early on. I did a google search a couple weeks ago for something trading related and this thread came up as a top result. I clicked in out of...

Don't feel bad about it. Life is a zero sum game. There are a few winners and a lot of losers. The market is actually darwinistic, just like the rest of life. It eliminates all but the very best.

I don't think so. The thing that really annoys me about threads like this is it leads newbies to waste tons of time and effort. Being a newbie takes enough time as it is. Leading them on a wild goose chase with hints of some secret that will make them rich is just wrong. The internet is full of...

BTW, I just thought of a few other things I wanted to add to answer some questions for you guys. First, the "obvious" that he's talking about is easy. If price is going up, buy. If price is going down, sell. Like I said in my last post, most people do the opposite by trying to predict...

Why is everyone on this forum seemingly convinced that trading is gambling? Why are you trading if you think that? If it really is gambling then no amount of "risk management" is going to help you win. It will only prolong the time before you lose. If you really view market movements as...

New member here. I registered because I just felt the need to chime in. You can tell a lot about a person by the persona they attempt to project to the world. The OP acts like a guru. He props up this image by quoting famous thinkers, writers, greek mythology, and obscure texts. He knows "the...
