Quote from retaildaytrader: I'm a little older then you think. OK, so maybe you are 16 or 17 instead of the 15 year old you come across as. I've been around the markets for quite a while starting in the 1980s. So was I. The difference between now and then is that it wasn't my...

It was obvious from the start that he/she has no clue about trading. But there is a handful of people here who believe a self-appointed trader "success" It is clear St.Louis is basically a trader-wannabe. Sorry for those taking his/her self-testimony seriously. Someone making such...

Yes - reading tea leaves and worrying about where Pluto is makes for a successful strategy.

SPAMMER: ID balajidess

So your point is, you came onto a message board to tell everyone why they are wasting their time? And informing them of stuff that anyone who spends enough time already knows? Cannot wait until you give your conclusions on "Breathing: Pros and Cons"

This was even less persuasive than the first post.

I suspect you found his ad in a trading magazine? Yes. He has been losing money for people for years. But always a new crop of wannabes to be plucked. Very consistent :D

Assuming "profitable" to mean now profitable on a lifetime basis (not just "last 2 months") and assuming "profitable" means "don't have to work" The answer is, 95%+ of traders never reach this. But if you meant this for "paper traders" then there are lots here.

I again agree with Ivan. Your quoting lengthy passages when you do not give the source, and you "think it is from XYZ" is making you look like an amateur duffer. THIS IS TRUE! ERR, I THINK. I BELIEVE I READ IT SOMEWHERE is a pretty annoying posting style.

Tradator: Sorry you do not grasp the difficulties of trading. 90+% of the people including on ET are "Rah Rah!!! Yay! I am gonna make money becoming a REEL TRADR!!!" A small percentage know the things you seem you seem to object to above. Next time, I will send you a version in...

OUCH. I guess your book must be as good...

I use SpyBot AND SpywareBlaster together. I also run CCleaner automatically when I boot up to clean up stuff.

1 whole post? This is dripping with deserved respectability... But thanks for letting us know what you think about yourself, Don:D

+1 Billy lives in a dream world where everyone has open markets He needs to get his neck out of the Depression, and learn what has happened in the last 70 years. "Free market" means, "you sell whatever you want in the USA", based on $2 a day labor, ignoring worker protection...

since 99% of traders lose their money or or make little, they should answer "how can I trade profitably" FIRST. But for me, Alaska, Nordic countries in the heat of summer in the Summer, and winters spent touring Australia, South America, New Zealand, etc. Spring/Fall, I am happy where I am.

The constant idea that Japan and other countries should and will "LOOK EAST" is naive at best Look east basically means, China, India and a handful of other exporter wannabes (Vietnam, etc.) The problem is, China and others do not want to BUY from Japan. They want to SELL to Japan...

I believe Futures Mag or another mag has been publishing the liquidity of such products for many years...

Quote from dagnyt: Have you never shared good news with anyone? Have you never understood the difference between "share the good news" and "free publicity seeking that skirts having to pay for sponsorship or advertising?" Quote from dagnyt: Bottom line: They do object to my post. I...

I generally agree with your post. But we more differ in that I see little evidence that the vast majority of people can or will ever have the ability to make longterm profits with good stats. IF a person somehow manages to find an edge, then: 1) they are wise to automate it as much as...
