If someone is still actively trading and doing the grind after three decades.....they must be a failed trader. Or extremely resilient. Or crazy. Or both. A professional, wise, knoweldable, experienced, expert trader should have made more than enough to retire comfortably after two decades or less.

Trading is slightly more complicated....than just betting up on good news, and betting down on bad news and following your basic Green Light Buy and Red Light Sell circular, indicator, trading system, buttons. That is Gorilla trading. Dumb trading. Any truly successful trader realizes this...

I always think of this movie quote, Who is your daddy and What does he do? from Kindergarten Cop....when I come upon these type of Ask Me Anything sessions. I always assume everyone is fake online. Literally anyone can say.....I've worked at a Gym for the past 20 years, Ask Me Anything. I...

Do you care to talk about your trading style, instruments, timeframe, experience, goal, returns, performance, history, etc etc misc misc? I'm always curious to discover big traders who actually trade, with slightly bolder risk/rewards and skill and understanding,...and not just invest...

That's a Stupid home. I would personally say around the $700,000 mark...is the ideal, cutoff, point of no added gains, benefit and utility. Beyond that, it's purely for ego and vanity and insecurity and bragging rights. Life at that point becomes rather sad, neutral, unfulfilling. Ultimately...

Money and success is overrated, or a double-edged sword. Everyone was more authetically, and naturally, happier when they were younger, dumber and poor.

I never claimed I was or wasn't Jewish -- you ...assumed....I was simply because I have a Jewish star avatar. You always tend to assume.....you assumed I use a MacBookPro....and you assumed the market will skyrocket on good news, and tank on bad news. That's why you get nowhere. Everything is...

Everyone is f'n fake online, across social media sites. Someone could play the part of ten different professions, and produce content related to those ten different professions, across ten different accounts....and let that ad revenue money roll in, and fame and followers, It's laughable, and...

Stay Sharp, just like this high quality $3,610 Japanese knife. Don't be a plastic knife amateur trader and person,

No one can have constant long shot winners. They are polar opposites of one another. If someone can day trade, intraday, for example, the S&P....combined with options....that performance will completely blow away Bitcoin's rise and Gamestop's rise and Apple's rise and Tesla's rise out of the...

All of you are all wrong. If you were right, truly right, all the time consistently....you'd be sitting on a yacht in tax-free Monaco right now. Eating some syrupy fish, seafood platter, dish with white wine.

That statement sentence is incredibly profound, but yet, strangely,.a ton of traders, people and gamblers...seem to delude themselves thinking they are divinely, magically, special...and they will win plenty of money and successes. And they become shocked and depressed when they suffer the...

Hopefully, your success story will be on the news. Jim Gaffordstein turns $7,000 into $1,100,000 by buying at the right time. But I doubt it, the odds are heavily against you. No one gets rich by betting on the long shot. Consistency and wisdom wins.

'investor index' 100 ...yea right, It's all the same, f'n, thing. Everything moves in tandem. Does the world need another invented, variation, index fund? Seems like everyone is inventing their own index collection or ETF fund these days. It's all bs and hype and ego behind it. Dow 30, S&P 500...

Glory to the new born King,

Traders should always cut losses, if they don't have a definite plan and strategy and process of attack and reasonable end game goal expectations. You don't necessarily want to leave the future and trade just lingering, flapping, in the wind -- you want control, expectations and understanding...

"You are way better off elsewhere..." you say that to every response from people on this ET site. I'll take your advisement under consideration, but I'm doing just fine. Is your trading going just fine, M.W.? What did you make today in the market, M.W. Enough to buy a Big Mac, Whole Alaskan...

If by "professional" you mean I get paid what I do, or I make money what I do, then yes. Being sarcastic and serious at the same time, you should embrace that...and not lose sense of your sense of humor. The world, people, and its operations can be a blend of those two. What is a dream...

Hang in there, don't give up....it Could happen,.

I'm kind of similar to you...I previously dabbled in entrepreneurship ideas, and once planned on getting my realtor's license and even hotel management...none of those really applied to me. I see myself in you....once an angry, young, dumb, confused 22 year old male...in a bathroom stall taking...
