yes that is undoubtable the reason.......... but it is also a huge opportunity which is, like you said, open to everyone. unfortunately regulators are trying to change that .... they are also trying to educate people wrongly saying that it is highly risky :they should be telling them that...

if you get the right guidance then it is easy. if you think in the right way then it is easy. chances of both of those coming about :less than 2% trading is ridiculously easy if you focus on some things. it took me over a decade to do that. so do i think that is the truth about day...

people say oh i was so good as a engineer or teacher or parent or software developer but i suck at trading but the fact is there is no measurement to say how good you are as teacher or parent....... in trading there is clear and undisputed measurement about how good you are..........there is...

i read my first book in 1994........so i have read over a 100 books i found Brooks book in 2007 and since then that is the only book i have read.....and read and read. you have to get on the right road as far as trading short term is concerned..........i was on the wrong one for long.

i am impressed at your clarity of thought. i am 64 years so i live for the day at most. you must apply this clarity of thought to your trading procedure. Volpri has explained it well in poetic form but to understand poetry you must understand the alphabet and apple,.... cat....... dog so it...
