    Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

    TFF has several members, three of which you have had the pleasure of meeting already. NYSESTOCKS is the screener. THE GENERAL is the lead tactician and sets out the game plan for the day. MR CHARTS sits back, looks at the lovely paintings and notes where the imperfections are. There...

    Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

    That matter has already been cleared up. I am a member of TFF - a group of like minded traders that concentrate on daytrading stocks, index futures, options and some commodities. Our goal is very simple. We lose small and try to have our winners multiples of our losers. 10 losing...

    Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

    I find that hard to believe, but maybe Jack can clear it up? You are either right or wrong, and it should not be a big deal to get the truth? BTW, we have to respect an individuals choice as to whether he/she wants to show any part of their trading account, but posting a few trades in real...

    career trader advice needed

    You should, based on what you have said be a good bit ahead of most? You should also have the required $25K + risk capital after being working in the game! But, you are where you are. You can easily get access to trade $100K with $5K cash up front, or 20:1 leverage, but you will have to...

    Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

    Why do you, and others, keep mentioning Jack and his losers? Post the details and we will ask Jack to clear it up, as I would think that there is a simple explanation? Losing (correctly) is a big, and very important, part of trading, in fact, it is much more important than winning!

    Trading is hard, very hard, damn hard

    Both of you are right, and both of you are wrong. Whilst Trueprop may well be speaking the truth, there are some things that he said that just do not makje sense, but hey, as we all know the main objective of those who "help" others is to make money, he may well be telling the truth. For a...

    I am to blame for having the name of the threads very similar:D Back in 1580, a very honorable, and very wise man, explained to the world what was the biggest problem he saw for future generations. To this day, his advice has been ignored, and to this day, his advice still stands true...

    The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given."...

    Trading is hard, very hard, damn hard

    All true I am sure, but I have a slightly different opinion in relation to how a person learns the ropes. 1. A mentor is not required, at all. 2. The only money a person should pay out is for good hardware - make sure you have a fast PC with the best graphics card avaialble and a good few...

    Trading is hard, very hard, damn hard

    It is not all about winning, it is all about losing correctly! I do not win when I lose, but I win because I lose, correctly.

    It depends on how you interpret the text! Post some excerpts and we will examine to see if they could possibly mean different things to different people. If I asked you to stand on one leg, you might stand on your right leg, while another might stand on his/her left leg! I am no expert...

    Your intentions are good NoDoji, but an astute person will accept what is without having to know the reasons why, for they are indeed many, and get to work on what is best for to improve on the win / loss ratio, for it is no good one having all small losers if one has no winners. Again, I...

    Before any more trades are done and a wrap up completed, it might be worth considering a few more Bible quotes? Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Topic: Blindness Source: Matthew (ch. XV, v. 14) So the...

    Trading is hard, very hard, damn hard

    One needs to clarify that trading and investing are not one and the same. Investing is indeed hard, as an investor starts out with the objective of leaving the money at risk for a long period of time. Trading is easy, if you shorten the time the money is at risk. Instead of the market...

    Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

    Some monkeys get so used to looking at round bars that they see everything in straight lines. The odd auld clink clank of a rusty old metal bar dragged along the horizontal verticals does wonders to get them out of their stuper. Or, in good old layman's tongue, most people need a good auld...

    Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

    Thank You RN All can see, but very few can act. All that matters is the outcome. All that is good can never be bad. All the bad trades can be easily offset by a very small few good trades. All the TA in the world is of very little value as it happens after the event - it is very...

    JB3, you have hit the nail on the head dead center. I was that Soldier, as many and most traders who survive to keep going and eventually start pulling money out of the markets, know only too well. The have it all mixed up when they say 5% win and 95% lose. It should say, 95% who set...

    HRS is a bad stock pick to trade and it should become obvious by the time the 10 stock trades are completed. Already, any person seriously considering trading for to make money should see that there is no structure or process in place at the moment. It is but willy nilly trading so far...
