Thanks but unfortunately, most of my posts were defensive as most of the traders on here were writing negative remarks to me. Oh well, envy is alive and well; that's one conclusion I can come to after todays experience....

Quote from FreedomPhighter:



I believe I would be very good at trading. Sometimes I look at a stock's behaviour and just know where it is headed. When the stock does what I expected I kick myself for not having the money to actually captalize on the opportunity. When this happens consistently I know I should be a trader. A couple of months ago, I completely gave up looking at my charts because it was painful to see so many opportunities I was unable to capitalize on. For example I'll see that a sector is weak so I'll be short on the sector and every stock in the sector will continue to plummet. Or I'll see that all stocks in a particular sector are rallying on a particular day except for one or two. Upon noticing that there is no news holding those particular stocks down I conclude that those stocks will follow the herd shortly so I'd proceed to go long (in my mind, of course as I am low on capital reserves) and what do you know, my hunch turns out to have been correct. I feel as if I was meant to be a trader. I know I will be successful in trading when provided with the opportunity. I need a salary based position, however.

Thanks

Please tell us what else you are fantastically great at, I'm sure there must be hundreds.

ET Members,


I don't know why you guys all rattled up about this guy? He's new to trading and probably hasn't experienced any major disaster yet. So, just let him be. Sure, he's good academically. But a lot of people are. But great trading comes from a lot of experience and lots of sufferings too. A great strategy helps too.

As Bill Eckhardt, who was an ex-mathematician from Univ of Chicago in mathematical logic, in Market Wizard noted that he doesn't see any correlation between great intelligence and great trading talent. Average intelligence is enough. Emotional make up is more important.

good luck all! Today was great trading though.

This is the first time you mention a quality that will be benificiary to you as a trader.

Actually, since he is full of crap, his better qualification would be that of manager at some prop offices I know. But first he should read this, to hell with Oxford!
