I think you say some ridiculous things. But parts of it kind of rings true that only with experience you can relate too. Parts of me think you're some type of troll. But at the same time some of the things you say do makes sense. My conclusion is too much trading probably has fried your brain...

Yeah, there was A LOT of luck involved looking back. That is why I wouldn't recommend daytrading or even trading to just anyone. There is no guarantee they would replicate my experience. Probably wouldn't imho. For example, there is only 2 or 3 trading related book that I would highly...

Yep. 7 years ago I started a bunch of small thousand dollar accounts and kept on blowing up over and over. On the outside it look like insanity as it seem like I'm just throwing money away. But in secret I found that each time I blew up it caused me to develop out of the box trading ideas that I...

I took a different path. 7 or 8 years ago, it clicked on me that trading was a mind game and I needed to get smarter to beat the market. So I had the idea to start pouring R&D in how to make myself smarter using psychology. I figured that during the system development state I needed to generate...

Knowing how women think. I'd say what they mean is they have trouble finding the "perfect" package.

Anyone can become a trader. What you mean is the probability that you can become a profitable daytrader? Assuming you are coming into this with zero knowledge and experience. It'll take you a very long time. For example, there are a few ET members here that are in their 10th, 15th, or 20th year...

Don't people pick up a book and read anymore? I took an psychology course post graduation for fun and the lecture was basically just reading the textbook. If I wanted to learn psychology all I had to do was buy the textbook and read. The difference was the course costed $500. The textbook costed...

Uh No... Finance doesn't teach you anything on what trading is like. This is literally one of the very first thing I'd learn when I was just starting out and it was in college. And it came from a book. Today that advice still holds up. If anything it's a handicap. It's been a few years since I...

Daytrading doesn't mean you're actively trading all day long. The reason I prefer it over buy and hold is I don't feel like holding through a market correction. Buy near the low. Sell near the high. Wait out the correction. Rinse Repeat. That's what good daytrading is about. Of course the key...

What if you're someone who has no fear? Would you give him the same advice?

I consider the psychological part of trading as just as important if not equal or more with the systematic side of trading. Things like risk control, mentality, money pressure, family pressure, psychological issues, debt, etc can make or break a trader. You sound like you have issue on the...

Not sure how crop circle pop up here, but it's possible that aliens would be making them. Not saying it's the most probable but possible. You're assuming aliens would be logical and have no interest in making them. When it's possible they can be irrational like humans who do things like spray...

I like ghost movies but tend to not believe in ghost. What you say may be right, but still there have to be some evidence that ghost exists. And don't say due to testimony from people. People in general are bad observers and sometime can be delusional. They are not good evidence. On the other...

Gambit, sorry to hear this. Don't know if you know this, but there is a theory and research that cancer cell feed on sugar as it primary source of fuel. The cure being to cut off sugar entirely from your diet and starve off the cancer from it food supply. Essentially killing it. I don't know if...

I understand. I have my TV positioned right at the edge of my TV stand. That way my cat can't jump in front of it and try to scratch the screen.

Sorry. Wrong Link. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-usage/pc-monitor

Seriously, this comment doesn't make sense. I have a cat too. If you are trying to decide on the size of a screen based on your box desk and a cat. That's kind of ridiculous. Get rid of the desk and find a new one. Likely your cat is not going to knock over your TV?? My recommendation is get a...

I agree. Makes me wonder why he even have a 14" laptop in the first place. In another post he writes how about how proud he was to find a TV that cost $500 or so new but brought for $7 at a pawn shop. Surely with all the big profits he is making he could afford a pay $500 brand new. Maybe I...

My system rules are starting to become finalized. With minor tweaks here and there. There is the possibility that part of the system rules can be automated. However, I only have a novice level of programming experience. I've put it off over the year because I thought that my system wouldn't...

Trust me. It's possible. I'm an engineer and I've seen some pretty average/below average intelligent people somehow get engineering degrees and then employed with a C average. You can do anything if you're attractive.
