yup, i totally agree. as frustrating as learning to trade is, i DO make progress. every 6 months or so i look back and realize that i've made major improvements. at the present moment you just don't know what the future ones will be...but they will happen if you keep at it.

i just bought it used on amazon.com for 1 cent. :cool:

another issue is defining "making it." if you "make it," but only make like 1% a year, who cares? what's hard is becoming the very small % that make it big.

after high school i took a test at a college. it was one of those tests where the more answers you got right, the harder the questions became. of students planning to attend college, i finished in the top 1-3% (i forget the exact number) for the english half (not necessarily writing) of the...

i have many reasons, but one is knowing i'm never going to quit and i (probably) have a lot of time on my side. can anyone on this site really say i won't make it as a trader by the time i'm 55? i've already come a long way and that's like 30 years from now. to me, it's not a matter of can i...

sorry to disappoint you, Gann...but no, i'm straight. i'm flattered, though. :p

same here...that's one of the reasons i'm here all the time. i know there are people here that can relate.

"Michael [Douglas] is exactly 25 years older than his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones." http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000140/bio ok, so my future girlfriends could be 0 right now. i like that.

the 2nd worst is when you say you're not interested and they STILL try to twist your arm and get you to keep listening to them.

the worst is when you get a call and it's a recorded message saying to please stay on hold and wait for the next available person. YEEEEAH RIIIIGHT

i know you're somewhat joking, but i'm not like that. i wouldn't ask for anyone to leave ET, i don't hate you, and i don't know you enough to say you're not a good man.

yeah, something like that.

i just watched "contact" again. this movie blows me away. can't say enough good things about it; a total masterpiece. i put it right up there with "the shawshank redemption." one of my other favorite movies. for those that have seen it, i'd like to point out 3 things that i didn't realize the...

inandlong, you know i think you're a good guy. my disagreement here is nothing personal at all. i think moderating is removing personality. it is normalizing people. for the life of me, i can't understand what makes a word "bad" in the first place. a lot of this nonsense stems from traditions...

eventually in this thread i will figure out this TAXATION NIGHTMARE. but i will start with... what are the 4 due dates for the 4 quarters that payments are due? also, if i have stock trade losses from previous (recent) years, can i use them to lower my tax burden on gains from futures...

schadenfreude it is also common for people to attack SOMEONE ELSE for what they dislike about THEMSELVES. when i was really struggling with my trading, i bet you LOVED it. you knew you couldn't trade either, so you enjoyed seeing me fail. it felt good to call me a "fuck-up" because you...

i've learned from my mistakes. i used to be a total mess with taxes. now i keep track of all my trades in excel spreadsheets.

if you're talking about an advanced chart, right click on the chart and click properties.

i knew you started this thread, just from reading the thread title. i'm good at guessing aphexcoil's and harrytrader's, too.

i just watched "the time machine" again. say man continues to advance and we don't destroy ourselves, etc., what the hell will things be like in the year 4003?! obviously no one knows, but it's mind blowing to think about what the distant future might be like. i will predict we DO develop...
