I guess I envisioned a "non-structured" trader as someone with a lot of small wins and a lot more small losers or a lot of big losses. When you say "non-traders" with big gains I may agree with that. I know people who didn't know jack shit about the markets, but they bought Facebook or Tesla at...

I couldn't imagine anyone trading WITHOUT a clear cut plan in advance...I'm sure some exist. Are you sure you would have a "few big winners" without such a plan? Even that would be difficult...in my opinion.:banghead:

Unfortunately, very likely we get another bad terrorist attack in the U.S. again and that should change the polls dramatically...or would it? If we had considerable casualties in this scenario, would the left calm down? Would the left on ET calm down? What would it take for the left to put...

Agree...it takes both. When I figured out risk control, I quit losing money and made modest profits. As I discovered more effective edges over time...I made the journey from modest profitability to effectively making a living. So, in my opinion/experience...the big bucks are made with edge in...

OK...just remove the "k" from the $3000. My bad! Sorry! I didn't make 3 mil last year...either!

Comagnum...do you have more of an edge than just the risk management aspect?

Is that what you made?

So wildchild...do you know yet what you're going to do at that "3000 milestone"?:confused:

I think many of you have the right idea. I believe it all starts with an instinctive nature. I'm a very introspective person, so after 20 years of doing this I've come to many conclusions about my own behavior. I've been a sports fanatic my whole life and I've had to learn how not to overlap my...

You should keep riding the TREND...maybe retire when you hit 1000 "likes"? We need members to keep pissing off others (as long as it's not me:D) for entertainment purposes...plus Baron likes what controversy brings...more views equals more revenue!;)

Wasn't Melania poor growing up and maybe she wouldn't take NO for an answer?

Wtfauoa is jsmith? I remember that PADDY!:D

Sounds INDEPENDENT to me!:confused:

That's right...good job...knew it wasn't Q, but still off. I was too lazy to look it up for him.:rolleyes:

I know a little about him...serious energy trader (has a clearing firm now). I thought it was the ABC system...not ABQ? Anyway ...he's one of the best. I've never used his system and never will, but there's a thread on ET about traders who use the ABC.

Could you imagine if some terrorist group leaks that they'll be targeting Trump protesters in the future...only because it's an easy target (masses in the streets)! What would the protesters do with all their time...if they can't whine in the streets?:wtf:

Bobby J...do "successful" traders ever become independent? Not sure I understand this post "successful traders...totally dependent". Aren't successful traders typically veteran traders too? Help me understand.;)

If you keep finding my errors and then also treating me with such good respect, I'm going to run out of "like's" to hand out!:D P.S. Now I'm afraid to correspond with you.lol

Hey...you found your niche...congrats!

I haven't read all the posts in this thread...I'm sure there's some good wisdom among them. If it hasn't been mentioned yet...please trade as small as possible with real money until you get thru the "learning curve"...best money saving tip you can get...except this one "don't ever day trade"!:D
