you're kidding right... could you come up with anything more pathetic than "it's the trader thinking and acting like a trader..."
As if all you need to profit is a picture of yourself in your mind being successful. Now some noob is sitting there saying, "hell yeah, I just got to act like a trader..."
What exactly will you do when "acting" isn't enough? And what's the point of trying to "help" people when you obviously don't know what you're doing? Is it just an ego thing where you want and need to feel important? Where you're convinced if you weave together enough meaningless words that sound instructive, they will be? What if somebody actually takes your advice and starts "acting" like a trader and then looses their ass because you are a financial clown? What then?
Finally genius, how exactly does a trader "act"... and what's your basis for this "performance". Do you have any solid honest to god research for how a trader "acts" or are you blowing more smoke up the cheek-chimney of wishful thinking?
This is same shit that has worked through every "how to trade" book and website ever made. Think and Grow Rich Yes? No. It doesn't work that way.
You're like the salesman who buys the expensive watch to convince his friends and customers he's made it, because he's "sure" he will, but has to eat pork and beans to survive.
"... I still maintain..." Sure does sound impressive, now if you could just prove an ounce of what you say.
Here's a little advice for anyone following along. NEVER, EVER, EVER buy into any advice ever posted on a financial forum... If you must explore it, best to jot the idea down and the research the hell out of it. Look for white papers written by professors, real researchers, universities etc. You'll know you're on to something when you have something in your hand that has a ton of notation and citation from other work.
Just because you've found somebody who is hoping and wishing for the same thing you are, doesn't mean it's more likely to happen because you found them. As humans we tend to look for and gravitate towards anything that supports our belief biases when we should really be looking for solid research that both supports and rejects it so we can make educated decisions.
I get at the end of the day, many people aren't here to intentionally do damage or mis-lead... but that doesn't mean they aren't.
If you're serious about trading, you socialize on a forum - you learn from your hard work, research, reading etc... There is more danger than value floating around the undocumented web and you'll never know if what you're hearing is grounded or not until it's too late and your money is gone.
Use your god given common sense and stop embracing what makes you feel good just because you're "hoping" for the best.
