    The loneliness of success

    This is an old reply... and I agree with it This thread is surely another bogus alias thread!!! Probably the same guy who's been reposting the same sad failed trader stories over and over.... most recent incarnation of which was "My 6 year trading experience in a nutshell"... Or maybe...

    The 10,000 hour rule.

    the other guy is right.... they were probably BS-ing the fact that they're being coy and vague is typical of guru-wannabes forums are just entertainment, as long as you remember that you won't be disappointed what really happened is probably something like this... "I've got the...

    Huh? I have no opinion on PD's.... but surf has been making regular before the fact calls in this journal for a couple of months what more proof is needed? :confused: I think it would be great if some TA-ers would do the same!

    I think I figured out why trading can never work for so many people

    This guy just hasn't been properly schooled in how to be a good internet poser what you do is register some other user id's then when people question you, just sign in under the other name to defend yourself say "I can vouch for him, I saw him pull money out of the markets daily in our...

    Intuition Amplifiers 2

    What an interesting subject..... It almost is like the markets are designed to deceive..... even though they are not designed at all..... they just are what they are I suspect that profitable retail daytraders are specially gifted (and spatially gifted) in some unique way just...

    I think I figured out why trading can never work for so many people

    I don't know if this Woody guy is for real but he did give one very important piece of advice--- "Go big or go home" folks are scalping small tick/range/renko charts, using 5 tick stops, piking it with 1 lot, ..... all in effort to control risk you can waste years of your life playing...

    Best Guru to follow for value

    jesse livermore was an acquaintance of nodoji? Surf, maybe consider bringing Sherlock Holmes on board to help in your quest for the truth. Or the "Finding Bigfoot" team, hiding outside NoDoji's house with infrared night vision cameras. LOL.

    I think I figured out why trading can never work for so many people

    Haha...... I also thought that Woody guy seemed too good to be true.... lol would be cool if he was real, and was really trading from his yacht, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has had other identities on ET in the past. I have been browsing thru old posts on ET, and even here in the...

    Trading off of the FIRST FIVE MINUTE BAR?!?! Newbie Trader Question

    well that's what I mean by thin....... referring to breakouts it skips a few cents or more on many of them and I think that might ruin the results if I tried to trade it in a live market but by then I had already discovered that I hate scalping I think I have too much ADD to be a...

    I've concluded its impossible to day trade index futures manually

    I think it's possible for a few, but seems to me would be like trying to squeeze blood from a stone From what I heard, less than 1% of Combine tryouts make it to a live account but since 0.5% did, that proves it is possible tough game, this scalping, tough game....

    I've concluded its impossible to day trade index futures manually

    are you scalping for ticks or something? it seems that's what everyone wants to do. I dont understand it "ok, I'm buying 1498, stop at 1497" "targeting 1499.50" "oh crap, it got to 1499.50 but didnt fill.... "now sellers are coming in.... uh-oh its down to 1498.50......"...
