20% year after year for a daytrader-- pretty poor result compared to Nodoji's coy hints of 1000% returns. :D

Too bad zh cut up the article. If you google it you can find the whole thing which is more coherent. This part is probably what most traders think about-- I can see why these kids would want to do this.... make six figs a year while your friends are making a fraction of that and...

Not putting him in the same category as ND-- not at all. I do, however, believe she is profitable (but not to the extent that she alludes to) and is holding back details... my point was that it isn't just heavy hitter who hold things back-- even a small time player like ND is holding back...

I always thought it would be that way. I cant see why anyone would start teaching or giving away details of a good trading method unless they are too trigger shy to trade it themselves-- and thus selling it is the only way for them to make any money from it. Enough folks entering at the...

But why would anyone want to be a trader? Has anyone ever met a happy trader? They're all miserable. It's only the newbies who are happy-- with their pie in the sky dreams. And some of the cheesier vendors, who act that way as part of their sales pitch. :cool:

we see a lot of that around here - LOL!

Wouldnt it be safer to average into something like GDX (mining stock ETF) or GLD than 3x ETN's? Arent you worried about decay? Gold and silver miners have been hit a lot harder than gold anyway.

Been almost a month. No word from him yet. :D

Just for the heck of it, what is the difference between..... 1.) trying to start a fund / money management business and failing and 2.) trying to start a sandwich shop and failing But yes I agree-- it is a huge risk to leave a good job in this economy to try and start any business...

Another one bites the dust. :( I too wanted to believe. well, not in Xpurt-- he dug his own hole when it came to his lack of credibility. If you want proof of at-home retail success--- short of knowing someone in the brokerage industry who can actually tell you how the customers are...

I dont know what some of you are doing trading if you're so worried about what people think of you. Do yourself a favor and quit trading and dont ever try and start a restaurant or any other business either. Because even if you do become successful you'll be worrying the whole time what...

I hope your happy oldtime, looks like you're to blame for this.... :p

Holy shit! WTF happened to the Brazil dude? Looks like he blew his account! http://www.myfxbook.com/members/trade4you_brazil/mt4-iron1/532014 As of Monday up 117% on the year, now up 1%. All gone to shit in 1 day. :eek: :eek: :eek:

LOL good thing they've made superballs smaller nowadays... now the worst that would happen is you'd put an eye out but everything would be ok because you'd still have the other eye free to close out your positions. :cool:

after all, traders are crazy people this guy threw a super ball at a wall and knocked himself out http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3786898#post3786898 :cool:

huh? a super ball put you in the hospital? that would make one hell of a blowup story "well, I had a full position on but knocked myself out with a super ball" "and while I was unconscious the market tanked and my account was blown up" LOL

Great story on the Japanese housewife! Wonder how she made it all-- consistent grind it out daytrading or riding a long term trend? She supposedly did it over a 3 yr period so it wasnt due to a one-time fluke "And just in case you’re wondering what Ikebe has been up to in recent times...

How hershey-esque this is all becoming. there is nothing that will stop hershey from spouting his nonsense... Not even proof that he is broke and in debt (I'm sure we have all seen that recurring thread once or twice--- the one with the action figure LOL). This guy seems no different--...

So the story goes like this--- guy sells a business a year ago and has no plan for what to do next. Shows up on a trading forum asking for advice.... "I just sold my business for 250k. Can I make a living trading or should I buy another business. I have very little trading exp" "I need...

it's not that people think trading cant be done hey I want to believe some of these TA guys, and some I think are real and legitimately profitable. but these xspurt claims just get so absurd-- beyond Hersheytalk levels even!! a 10k account to start, in week 2 it's down to 7.5k By...
