Quote from Alexis:
confesion # 148 : I spend way too much of my profits on high end mechanical watches (and horology devices)
Am I alone?
watches are not my thing but I confess I waste money in all sorts of other ways. Tell us more about these hornology devices - sounds kind of like a blowup doll?
Quote from StLouisTrader:
if ur a weak p ur probably better off. An issue typical of the p is u may have a tendency to want to keep your options open (while gathering additional information) rather than pull the trigger on a trade. Net result: good ideas but late entries or no entry at all. If you are a weak p u may not have this issue at all.
I do have some of the problems you mention but as times goes on I am getting better and better.
These are my results:

It is an interesting test / read.
Quote from rosy2:
theres a firm that requires this test for employee candidates. i got intp and then read the profile... made me try to change for a while.
btw, i dont think any regular on this site is a profitable enough trader to make it worthwhile.
I don't think it means too much. It's just something objective that HR use to cover their behinds when they recommend their hiring decisions.
It's an interesting little test though and I do enjoy a little ego boost.
Stlou <--- God's gift to trading. Just listen to his amazing revelation.
... I always thought I was the type who would "be all you can be" (without joining the army). Doing well has caused me to become really, really lazy. I almost never trade the afterhours anymore, or even work past noon.

My confession: I only learned trading at wl4.wealth-lab.com after years of trial and error. I, too, was always profitable, but certainly nowhere near making a living at it, and I seriously doubt the OP was profitable. Expecting legitimacy just for posting on ET is laughable. If you'd like to prove me wrong, you can go get audited somewhere, then come back and tell us how you did.
Trader Zones has you pegged StLouisTrader. I'm out in KC, and I can spot people's lies very fast, especially ones made on this board. If you were legitimate, we'd have way more than 200 posts in 5 years of ET. You also haven't discussed anything about strategies, and seem to think shorting AIG makes sense. If you really were who you say you are, you wouldn't touch AIG with a 10 foot pole.

Confession # 11: I have no idea what wealthlab is and don't want to know. I am also not begging for money on the internet due to shitty actual results that put me in a position of being seriously undercapitalized.

I'm definitely not undercapitalized, but I also don't see trading as something to live on either. By you admitting you don't know what wealth lab is closes the deal for me: ie: You are obviously lying about your trading experiences. Would you know what tradestation is? Either way, you still haven't talked about strategies or effectively communicated anything other than a grandiose self-image of trading ability.
Confession #12. Sometimes I think et would be better without the asshole trolls but when really bored i have to admit they can make for fun reading
