Wrong pal. Completely wrong. Your inexperience shows when you encourage those who are either losing money or not making much and you prolong their anguish of pursuing their fantasy or their unfounded hopes. And, no, I've never used the description 'moron' against a noob or a failed...

Well aren't you aware that bulletin boards are about opinion and advice? It is just that you don't want to receive what is often sound basic advice .. advice that means don't blow away your money or any more of your money on ill-prepared trading ambitions or as will sometimes be the case...

Whatever you were doing (an inventory of positions doesn't sound like wisdom) was not robust. You ate your seed corn .. that is the profits you did make. You are not cut out for the trading game. You long for and just like spending the profits (if any). Completely forget about going back...

No, this is just a mix of factors; they don't represent full choices. You are not being serious and you may never be serious enough for trading. You have to subject your chosen market (eg YM) to an accurate methodology. This should utilize the whole market day and it means a coherent, tightly...

Oh yes the blue ones are worse! And as shown in the film the 'Yellow Submarine' the plot "is a psychedelic fantasy about a happy kingdom called Pepperland. This kingdom is taken over by the Blue Meanies, and The Beatles, riding to the rescue in a yellow submarine, eventually conquer the Blue...

You are experiencing the well known noob syndrome: 'How to thoroughly f**k yourself up the butt' You are unprepared for the task of trading to make money quite aside from whether or not you are a suitable personality to undertake independent trading. :)

You are so right. Backtesting which is usually and basically done on OHLC data is at best very incomplete and at worst delusional as to the so-called results which are produced. :)

Sorry I never use blame. Consistency becomes routine for an accurate methodology reinforced by repeated experience Whatever makes up success it is still solely down to the author of that success. Of course if he elicits help and utilizes whatever resources available to him, these are just...

If the sh*t does hit the fan, you'll do no better than get yourself completely covered in sh*t. :)

Well this is a lot of stuff by old Chicken Kiev which has all been promoted many many times before by others .. goal setting, targeting & commitment (together with emotional control) as the appropriate crutch to strengthen your personal psychology. :)

Well that is the nub. The environment or whatever you are prepared to blame for failing as a trader. No, a person who fails, fails because among other things he can't or won't take responsibility for himself if he is prepared to blame someone else or something else. This theme is as common...

What's an edge? The degree of sharpness as that of a cutting blade; rim or brink. :D

And the tsunami of recent big waves appears to have washed poor old gharghur2 out to sea. :D

The usual tedious anti-Anglo/American phobia of the French. :)

Scaling in/scaling out: you can't do very much or any scaling in/scaling out if you are trading at the minimum of 1 or 2 lots. At the other end of the spectrum in day play with large or very large entries and exits, scaling in & scaling out requires a position size strategy worked out in...

Ah but .. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." John 8.7 :)

You don't want a "suit-filled, soul-stealing environment" but you do want to dick around with somebody else's capital .. and get salary or commission for doing so. Sweet. You are just adding to the over-supply of fantasists, pal! :)

Here's a better one. No losses guaranteed. Don't trade. :)

Why do most traders lose? Very amusing .. a poll without the obvious category. Failure to undertake and complete the the extensive study, research and preparation to know your market sufficiently. The amateur either can't or won't do that. He prefers death by firing squad .. that means...

Amen. :)
