trading is easy....I respect your opinion but I see it differently. It is not OR.
After trading for a long period I have made a decision to share what it takes to become a consistently profitable trader. The reasons for doing this are not monetary but to have some other needs that have to be filled. Recognition, interaction with people that have the same interests, are for me some of the things I do not get out of trading. I have tried giving the information and mentoring for free. That did not fly. From the last two years I have had about 20 people asking for help and only 1 committed enough to see it to the end. My opinion is that as soon you do something for free because you do not need the money, people do not take it seriously anymore. But if you ask for money, then there are always people like you that think they cannot trade and need to make money from teaching. It is a catch 22.
if you give people complicated stuff they may not follow it through.
for years i have been exposed to complicated strategies when it is actually very simple
