Anyone here actually profitable?

I think this Mark Douglas "Trading in the Zone" psych bullshit is useless. If I'm trying to become a Grandmaster in Chess, I don't need self-help books or a psychologist on call, I just need to get better.

Trading is not just about reading charts. It's more about outwitting your opponent. Sometimes you need the balls to outwit yourself, who can be your worst enemy.

Does one begin to understand the market through years of experience, or can it be taught? If it can be taught, how does one go about learning it when the industry is littered with liars? How can one break ground in this endeavor?

Either you're incredibly bold or extremely foolish. If you know it's this difficult to attain knowledge about trading, which could take years to master (if ever), why would you expect anyone to share that hard-won secret with a stranger on a public forum?

Did you even read my post? "Tired of it all" implies countless work. I read countless books, bought courses, went over all the free material on the web, but it seems that most of it either doesn't work or is just an outright lie to extract money from the paying customer (me).

If you want a more concrete (perhaps discrete) response, I suggest you post a chart with entries and exits and your rationale at the time. Don't expect people to give you specific answers when you ask only general questions.

Awesome idea. Have the moron-OP send some hindsight analysis here so other morons from the ES journal can best his hindsight analysis.

Don't get so fixated on how much you can make,

The essence of trading is to make money. So I am eager to see how big the potential is.
I never meet a trader who didn't check first if, and how much, he can make.
If there is no potential, why trade?

I do agree with your earlier statement (looking for advice from strangers) so there is a king of the idiots. Hail rutro.

In before @virtusa shows his REFCO statement PNL of $0.00 he got from Google Images.

Dude, just STFU and act your age for once.

As you become profitable over time, you will eventually leverage up. But have a profitable strategy in place first.

it’s not audited by Ernst and young so OP doesn’t want it.
