Getting called out by a gumby doll, that is harsh.

Your profile says your occupation is retired and you sure ask a lot of questions for a full on do or die trader with 7 years. I would think trading for a living implies its your only source of income and you have nobody like a spouse or rich parents supporting you.

I do have incomes like dividends, etc. but I don't have any other jobs producing income and spouse not working. I am embarrassed to say my biggest source is from trading and if that is not a correct definition of trading for a living, my apology.

I ask a lot of questions because I want to get better and learn form professional traders like you. I know my success is more luck than skills and luck can run out any time.

Why join a forum if you cannot ask questions to improve and learn to trade better?

You also say "thank you" a lot. Very annoying

PS. anything I don't know I always ask questions - you should never be ashamed of your ignorance and you never know, maybe that one particular answer will be the missing piece of the puzzle

Why is saying thank you for helping me out annoyed you?

In my prior life with a day job, I actually worked for a company headquartered in New York. Yes, New Yorkers don't do "thank you", we Californians on the other hand are more civil.
