Hey Surf why were 2 posts by wtfauoa deleted?

Newbies take note, this marketsurf character and his ilk are the types you need to watch out for and avoid. This site has a few of them. I was offered "trading knowledge" from another member on this site recently for the bargain basement price of $8000 LMAO

Can you learn too drive by reading a book?

Human nature? I'm not sure exactly, you may have better luck asking that question to a psychologist.

Its the truth. I know I've tried but no one will ever tell you. If they do they're probably full of shit and want a hefty price for it to boot. Not saying these forums are a waste of time there are a few nuggets here and there but you need to sift through 99% of the bullshit to find it. If...

So where is the downside exactly to all this? This one little truism has become painfully obvious to me since joining the rat race, that is trading time for money ie. wage rarely adds up. Feel free to disagree but the in the end most just end up with liabilities. Office politics, nepotism...

I'm in Alberta same as you just up the road in Edmonton. Alberta is not the best scene for this line of work agreed. Toronto, Montreal or even Vancouver would be better.

I have enough that I could give it a go. Yes it makes sense to play the safe bet and continue growing my base but I'm really interested in checking out the prop firm scene. If I could find a decent one I'd be willing to try it for a few months. I can always fall back on my old mind numbing...

Comagnum you work in the biz I take it?

Good site I've come across it before.

Amen ain't that the truth. I wouldn't say the Finance diploma was completely useless more like 90% of it was. In hindsight I should have studied Math/statistics instead. I never understood how so many blow their accounts, don't get it never had that problem. I can only guess it comes from not...

Thats the path I've been on for the past few years thankfully Ive squirrelled away a nice little bankroll. I don't know maybe there is some benefit to be in an environment surrounded by other traders but sounds plausible to me. This guy who used to be on this site Lescor was his name, he packed...

Hello all as the title states just looking for a little advice. Got laid off recently from a non trading related job due to a plant closure. I'm cool with that however. The work paid well but was very uninteresting, became almost mind numbing in fact. I was a Technician. So now I'm left at a...

I've read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator definitely an interesting read. Was he really that great of a trader if in the end he lost a majority of his wealth and blew his head off? Or was he just a bi polar outlier?

"For those who know will never divulge, for obvious reasons - they are not fools!" Hmmm makes one wonder how those who "know" came about to knowing, if no one showed them what they need to know. Did they look in a mirror perhaps? School of hard knocks Trial and error? Or did they pay a guy...

Past - Vehicle Technician Canadian Armed forces Current - Heavy duty mechanic working for a defence contractor building Lav 3s Future - independent full time trader... :cool:

I can relate to this somewhat. Here's my two cents. No fancy Bachelor of Finance for this guy. I paid my dues in the Canadian army slogging out there for a few years, then transferred my newly acquired skills to a nice well paid defence contractor gig. I became bored with my day job so I...

What's your problem Marketsurfer? In order to be a vendor would require having something to sell. JS doesn't have anything to sell that's how I know he's legit. You should be banned for slander and false accusations.

Why not? What harm could come from having a better understanding of how the market works and how the big players operate. Might be another reason why over 90% of retail traders fail perhaps?

From what I can gather retail traders make up a small volume of actual shares traded on a daily basis. We are merely ticks on a dog's @$$ relatively speaking. I'm looking to get a better understanding for how "big money" operates. For example understanding how algorithms enter and exit the...
