you have a dragging the average IQ of a thread down. I knew you wouldn't understand. You demo that each time you talk.

I made the mistake of watching this video. This person is absolutely clueless, and is obviously hoping to get a following and start an advisory service eventually. Has to support himself somehow. "Confiscate the gold." This is a Trading and Disaster 101 rehash of standard Impending...

Funny, because every woman I ever met is vastly superior to you. Of course, so is every beetle, rock and neutrino...

started around the time of the market 23% or so one-day collapse on 10/19/87. Made $5,000 that day and got hooked.

The reality is, 99%+ of trader wannabes will never figure out how to trade. It is not you, it is the path pretty much everyone follows, and keeps repeating on thread after thread. And most of the "hang in there" responders are fellow paper traders. You can possibly figure out money...

Can we lock this thread and this user ID (of OP Russ...) outside the fact this person is not a sponsor, there is a high chance he is a scammer or will cause damage to anyone stupid enough to get involved... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2787266#post2787266

FWIW, I saw a recent article that studied entries, and scaling in/out did not seem to help, compared to just getting in or out. Personally, I think any entry, including adding/reducing positions, you should ask yourself, "is the reason to enter valid at his point?"

I think you mean a "stop." stop-loss is an exit technique.

I heard 150,000 to tread water. And I don't think it is called "attrition", but increase in general population (people reaching working age), plus immigration, etc.

Your story is the story of most trader wannabes. But your outcome is not what people read in the spam email, postal mail, magazine ad, Trading 101 book, website, Ebay can't miss trading system or other glossy ad telling people how easy it is to trade their way to riches...

This example is supposed to demonstrate why they shouldn't lose money? What about the first-class promotional DVD, which probably gets a cut rate below 0.44, is more difficult to handle. and goes from a small rural town in Georgia to a very small town in rural Oregon?

Quote from Vulcan Trader: ...I think it is time to blow the whistle on the NWO and how they have infiltraded every aspect of society... I can't reveal all of my sources... what i will be revealing is all true... p.s. please pray that nothing happens to me to prevent me from posting...

yikes. looks like chandler bing, in that shot...

Ah yes, RCG's arbitrary criteria thread

Hitchem, Basim... Sounds like the old law firm: Dewey, Cheatum and Howe... :D

Does Jack sound more and more like Groucho Marx???

IB also has high margins. If you set up both an S corp and an LLP for yourself with a small account, then it sounds insane, not something to be proud of. If it involved partners, then that was obviously not what was being discussed (one person with their small account)/ All regular folks...

I had an S corp for a nontrading business that actually had liability chances. But they are generally pushed by websites and CPAs seeking your $$$ or by paper traders dreaming of joining the bigtime, even though few will ever be seriously profitable for any length of time. They add cost...

Quote from trader198: if you struggle 5 yrs, finally prove to yourself you are a loser, does not prove someone else will struggle five years, then prove himself he is not good at that. someone is born to be a trader. Tell that to someone determined to be good at the roulette wheel. Almost...
