    Why do "profitable" traders take the time to train people remotely and for a fee?

    please... leave rcanfield out of this discussion. Bad enough he pollutes every other thread on this message board with the same inane drivel puked out repeatedly. If you want to read his stance on trading and traders in general, five minutes spent inside his post history will tell you more than...

    Why do "profitable" traders take the time to train people remotely and for a fee?

    OK then, your to-date cost of education is -$8,500 to learn everything you currently know to build on from here. One final question. Regardless of why you haven't been successful yet, what is your plan for creating what has eluded you so far?

    Why do "profitable" traders take the time to train people remotely and for a fee?

    <i>"Why would a consistently profitable trader take the time to create a website with videos and chat rooms? That to me sounds like a waste of time."</i> I'll answer your question in detail, if you'll first answer mine. With all your noted experience rubbing elbows with mega-successful...

    how to spam&market on ET and get away with it.

    I'm sorry, I cannot help it. Just one more retort before I click outta here for awhile myself. <b>rcanfield > traderzones</b>, you have spent 95% of your gazillion posts denigrating traders in particular and trading in general as a failed folly, a fool's game. Why in the world someone with...

    A question for those of you who own blogs and websites

    Oh <b>rcan</b>, you & everyone else complaining about Brandon are so full of bullsh*t your noses are running brown. None of you care less about fairness or TOS or any of that crap. You're so gripped by fear of loss, aka someone else is getting something you ain't that it eats y'all alive...

    Career traders - 2 hour lunches everyday?

    <i>"I hope new and developing traders will read and reread this a dozen (make that hundred) times until they understand. This alone could save them thousands of dollars."</i> Just because the chosen market is open does not mean anyone must remain enslaved and subservient to the screens...

    Moving Stops in Your Favor

    Actually, it's all about the losses. How big or small the losses are dictates how taking profits will result in overall profit or loss in time. It's logical to assume converting each trade possible to some type of profit therefore results in fewer losses. And that is true... the highest win %...

    Moving Stops in Your Favor

    Oh yes you can... matter of fact, that's exactly how a good many traders go broke and quit. Taking profits too soon = eliminating your edge over taking natural losses in the process. To the original question at hand: there is no best way to manage trades. There are countless trade management...

    Make no mistake...Swing Trading is where its at...

    Well, in all reality, last year was a swing trader's dream market too. Just about all market periods allow viable swing trade action regardless. It's more of a mindset than technical nuts & bolts. FX markets offer +200 pip to +400 pip moves in the major pairs several times per month on...

    Thursday was a gap-up that never filled, did not touch daily pivot intraday. Friday was a gap-down, never touched pivot or filled prior gap. Monday was a gap-down, never touched pivot or filled any gaps. I've been doing this since late 1999 and never recall a three-day sequence in all that...

    Daytrading leads to Inevitable Failure? Is Swing Trading the only Viable Path?

    I'm 5'9" and 185+ lbs myself. Lift weights five days per week. Pretty happy with my progress, squats = bench = deadlifts = military presses are all going up consistently. But about once per month, I get the sudden urge to drop those weight plates right on my feet. I usually start dropping...

    Kass: Why the Bears Are Wrong

    For sure. We ain't seen a capitulation bottom event yet. The recent lows will be 98.6% probable (redneck science) tested and bounced or broken from there, but they will be tested again. Russell 2000 in particular will probably lead the descent. Long is wrong as a swing-trade bias unless a...

    T666, if you were approached by a homeless person <b>who told you </b>they had no assets or income whatsoever, would you even consider loaning them $1,000 to rent an apartment after they filled out a promissory note? Why or why not? If that indigent person you loaned $1,000 to failed to...

    It went untouched on Friday. The odds of two consecutive days where pivot is untouched AND open gap going unfilled were slim. In other words, gap fill and/or pivot tap somewhere inside the cash session was a high-odds probability. Took all day, but both were fulfilled.

    Guru Dennis Bolze missing

    I made that retort for shock value impact, nothing personal at all. I noted elsewhere before you appear to be intelligent, learned and very knowledgable about trading and managed money aspects... regardless how much effort you take in trying to mask all that (smile) * A lot of trading...

    POLL: Does Pa(b)st Prime have his Head & Shoulders up his Bottom formation?

    <b>+1 x 1,000</b> Baron hit a vein of gold as a businessman when founding this site, and deserves mega-kudos on his personal success in milking a public message board for $$ in the bank. Brilliant idea, launch and execution at the perfect moment in time. As for viewership reach, it's six...
