Itâs pathetic how these message boards are rife with: is there any people that truly make any money from the markets or do full time traders even exist?
Upon closer inspection it appears to be a reflection of a personâs incompetence that such a question would even be asked.
Take a moment and examine other professions, for example, an accountant, a civil engineer, a voice coach, and so onâ¦. How silly it would be to go into a public forum of a particular profession and state: do any of you make consistent money in your profession or do you even exist? And if itâs true, can you provide a copy of your check stubs dating back 1 year? How pathetic that would be.
And in line with the incompetence matter that permeates trading forums. The pattern Iâve noticed repeatedly is that many do not want to admit failure. A level headed person will simply reason that he does excel in this profession and will thus focus his energy in another profession where he will be more adept. End of story.
I have two cousins that are engineers. I recall vividly when they were attending school in Northern California, that they were incredibly diligent in their studies. The word problems contained within their textbooks was out of this world, it clearly required that a person use their brain to the fullest. One of them has reached a point where other engineers now seek his input on large scale projects.
And yet what I see in these trading forums is very often the opposite, the road that will lead to riches with little effort. I can already hear it. âI just need this one indicator that will change my bad fortune, and everything will be OKâ. When in reality and in all likelihood a trader may find it helpful to study diligently in order to overcome what vexes him.
