    How many charts do successful traders use per symbol??

    I use 3 charts; One time frame above and below the chart that gives me my set up. I use the time frame above to confirm my set up and the time frame below for attempting to optimize my entry. I chose other because 3 wasn't an option...:confused:

    Why do people pay for trading courses/training?

    I believe you have answered your own question. You pay to take a course to gain knowledge you don’t have. Traders are looking for that little something that will take them to the next level. Not unlike the pro golfer who decides to change his swing after being on a winning streak. It is of...

    Technical Analysis is .......to my trading...

    TA is one of the many tools I use to determine whether I should open or close a position. I see constant threads that TA doesn’t work but have never seen an example of how it doesn’t work. TA is a tool. It’s like saying a hammer doesn’t work.

    Yes you are right. I never did get an answer as to what he specifically expected to learn. In an earlier post I was wondering what it was that didn’t work and why. Never did get a straight answer. I’m not sure I had a point to make. I constantly hear traders state that this or that...

    Not much happening in the market and I'm bored. This debate is entertainment for me. I know I should get a life but what is is what is. As for the questions: Sorry I must have missed them. I can only answer what I know to be true. No I'm none of the guys you think I am. I don't believe we...

    I’m afraid you’re mistaken again, I’ve never attended a sales presentation or a Power trading Workshop. If you had read what I said you’d have seen that. The high pressure sales is not limited to the presentations, mine came via the telephone after subscribing to the Free newsletter...

    Go back and read your first few posts on this thread. I take it you’re an Online Trading Academy plant as you refer to them several times as OTA. I did take the time to read what you have written; One interesting tidbit on 10-16-11 Are we to assume you’ve been sucked in by other...

    I applaud your sense of ethics and thank you, because of posts like yours I have hesitated to attend the sales pitch. I don’t think you’ve addressed what it was you expected to be taught that you weren’t. Can you be specific as to what part of the curriculum you found wanting...

    I realize the qualifications to get into law school are very high. Do you have the stats as to how many who get accepted don’t finish? On the other end of the spectrum the qualifications to be accepted at a trading school are quite low. Do you have the money? :eek:

    No I’m not implying that you are dumb and stupid. Mind you; you did hand over your hard earned money to a high pressure salesman who promised you untold riches without doing any due diligence. :confused:

    I didn’t say I did not have an interest in OTA; my interest is at the consumer level. I’m always looking for ways to improve my trading. The reason I haven’t taken a class or even attended the sales presentation is that their high pressure salespeople haven’t been able to convince me...

    Call me anything you like; but jeez man don’t compare me to a politician; that’s just cruel. You say you’ve taken some of the classes they overcharge for. How much good money did you spend on them? You know that a lot of premed students don’t become doctors, others go right thru...

    Would you pay me?

    Why wouldn't you pay? You pay for every other type of education whether it is tuition to a school or paying for a golf lesson. Just because you pay the instructor doesn’t mean you will learn anything, the student has to put in the effort. What qualifications do you have to be a...

    Would you pay me?

    Why not just ask for a percentage of their profits over the next few years.

    Attention: I am now short!

    Lets you and I have a little contest. I’ll go long right now at 1198. Tomorrow or the next day or maybe next week I’ll let you know how I did. Could be I’ll take a small loss, or maybe I’ll reverse my position, or maybe I’ll add to it. You’ll be amazed at how I can read a chart...

    Proof that about 25% of traders actually make money

    Interesting stats; Of the 25% that made money how many outperformed the market? Had they bought and held SPY they would have gained about 5% over the year in 2007. How many accounts were up over 5%?
