    So, what am I missing ?

    You mention it would be very easy for everyone to beat the market. It is. I have been running a strategy for the past several years that beats the market consistently. Annual return for the past 13 months was 70%. I have tweeted all my trades BEFORE I made them to prove it. The reason most...

    Any experience hiring office space as a lone trader? Worth it?

    I f you are trying to sell something, looking respectable is useful. If you trade for a living, where you do it is irrelevant.

    Thoughts on Larry Connors books?

    I read both of those books, and personally programmed and traded his strategies. He's the real deal, and his stuff works. You won't make money without addressing your inner demons, though. I can't help you with that.

    Trend lines and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

    Not interesting, and probably not relevant. Are you a professor at a liberal university? :)

    Best strategies to start trading

    I have been trading since 1969. My worst year was 2008, when I made 11%. My best year, I made well over 50%. This past year, I made 67%, so far. Here's what I recommend: 1. Stop listening to "economists". Who told you they know anything about trading? 2. Throw away your TV. I haven't had one in...

    Here's what happened after i buy course from Scott Phillips

    Scott and Atilla, You would both be wise to apologize to each other and never mention your interaction again. Neither of you did yourself a favor with this exchange. Scott, I wouldn't buy your course - ever. Atilla, I wouldn't sell you my course if I had one to sell. Oh, wait. I do have one to...

    A message to some day traders.

    You could be right, however, I don't think so. I have been trading since 1969, and I lost money for 14 years every year. Then, in 1984, I made a profit. I have made a profit every year since then - sometimes as little as 11% (2008), and sometimes over 40%. That's a span of 35 profitable years...

    Realistic returns expectations of successful day trading

    Personally, I don't know any profitable day traders. I know several profitable swing traders. I have been making 30-40% per year for several years swing trading. I tweet my trades before I make them, so it's easy to verify my claim.

    Gillette: Get Woke, Go Broke

    The point of advertising is to speak to as many possible customers as possible. Targeting manly men or snowflakes cuts down your market considerably. Try targeting any animal with hair - men, women, monkeys, gorillas, pets, mammals.

    Almost everyone is lying. Because there's no such...

    I am a profitable trader, and I have been profitable since 1984. I don't sell my system, and I don't sell a class. I don't sell anything! However, I do tweet my trades BEFORE I make them. My tweets are available FREE on Twitter. Just follow @RandomFour. I started tweeting last November. Check my...

    Tell me why I can't grow my account to $1M in 12 years

    Setting money goals or profit goals is a mistake because trading more does not necessarily equate to more profit. I suggest you set "behavior" goals instead. If you do the right behaviors, you'll make profits over time, but the profits will vary. Monitoring your profit to determine if you are...

    How it works?

    I have written a few automated strategies that work. They don't make as much money as I can make trading manually, but they do work.

    Is there anyone who makes money in the stock market or commodity market?

    I've been making money trading stocks since 1984. I don't make the 1000% gains some people talk about, but I make a good living. Since November last year, I have been tweeting some of my trades BEFORE I make them. ( @RandomFour ) I've made 43% profit on those trades during that time.

    Tell me why averaging down is a bad idea .

    Averaging down is a bad idea because the market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

    Young guy wanting to start trading

    Join the military (any branch). You'll get some basic life skills in a hurry. If you survive, and most people do, you'll be in a much better position to figure out what you really want to do with your life after that. If you get a dishonorable discharge, then suicide is probably your best...
