Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

I've never understood this about some of the traders on this site.

If you aren't mentally tough enough to handle goofballs on a public forum how on earth can you be mentally tough enough to be a good trader?

You're as much a problem as they are if you let them get to you. Either don't respond to them or put them on ignore. It's very simple. There are goofballs on public forums, nothing you can do about it.

I've read plenty of comments on this site from seemingly intelligent, nice, honest, helpful people. You could just as easily stay on the site for those people as opposed to leaving the site because of the crazy people.

This site would be much better if the good posters would ignore & not reply to the negative posters (unless they enjoy doing so). Instead the good posters get bullied & run away.

He's a new trader and he thought this was a forum where traders talked about trading. His first experience was backbiting so he thought this was a waste of time. I treat it as entertainment. Each to their own.

I has nothing to do with that I just would rather spend my time else where. I have found other forums that don't have all this BS and I tell X that I dont know why he wastes his here either but everyones different

Because chaining capital down for god knows how long on end instead of taking a small loss and catching the real market turn for its full profit potential or heavens forbid, making profit while the market goes up...is silly..the only thing that counts is proving you were correct to your ego I guess..

This guy OPM LOL..
