Magna, I cannot think of another time that I have disagreed with you enough to post. I do not want to presume that you agree with dbphoenix on this.
Trading can be learned. It can be taught. It is not some inherent gift within any of us. Those of us who are successful... whatever that might mean to anyone.... have learned to trade. We have learned to follow a set of rules, or fairly stringent guidelines that produce profits. I can tell you because I know for a fact that it is the set of rules or guidelines and perhaps the discipline to follow them that keeps GG from being successful. Also I believe that he is grossly under-capitalized; and if there is one sure way to bust out it is to be short on dough and trade scared.
But there are many many true stories of people who kept trying, who sought training, who kept coming back, who failed a number of times until it finally clicked.
Fortunately dbphoenix wasn't around to give Thomas Edison advice when he was working on a filament for the light bulb. He tested thousands of materials including over 6000 plant fiber types. I imagine there were times that he wanted to stop, or quit. But thankfully he persisted and persevered.
I agree with you Magna that dbphoenix is speaking honestly. But is he accurate... no. I agree that he is being straightforward, but helpful...no. And I agree that he is to the point... but a necessary point.... no.
Now if you are saying that his post is extremely well said because it is grammatically and structurally sound, then I agree with you. But if you are agreeing with the premise that he is making, then I cannot disagree more fervently.
