    Should I focus on a specific group of commodities as a novice trader?

    l2dummy - You may list the flaws above below, but since you could only issue a general fart upon them, obviously you cannot trade. To the thread starter, worry when someone who does not understand trading muscles in to offer useless advice. His analysis boils down to air. What I said is...

    Should I focus on a specific group of commodities as a novice trader?

    Your problem is not which instrument. It is more of a factor of volume, volatility, contract size, etc. For example, a contract of cocoa pales in size to a fullsized S&P.

    Confessions of a successful trader

    You have to wonder why someone who makes an anonymous claim to success (even starting a thread about himself), and then ducks/avoids the very reasonable requests for evidence, imagines that should be taken seriously. The only amazing thing is that ANYONE on ET took him seriously. Seriously...

    Confessions of a successful trader

    Quote from StLouisTrader: I think it would be great if I could meet someone on ET that was a better trader than me and possibly learn from each other. That would be a majority. Those who don't get their jollies by bragging and trying to roll in their imagined limelight. You MIGHT make...

    Confessions of a successful trader

    the naysayers won't shut up, because 1) it is thoroughly obvious that the only one who would make your claims, is a lonely attention seeker, who is hoping others will listen to his self-delusions 2) it is further obvious, that your refusal to provide any proof means that you do not want...

    Good reason why: 1) you should not keep your money at one bank 2) you should not keep large amounts IN banks 3) there is a lot of wisdom in keeping a lot of your wealth (if you have it) unknown to government, bank or friends. Such as well-concealed, in multiple places, food/grain, gold...
