It does not help to learn the mechanics but those are the prerequisites. Without those one guaranteed does not stand a chance.

I'll look for your posts in this thread but I'm a few days past the getting started event. As for character/mentality/passion/consistency, check^4. But I don't know how that helps me understand this entire business.

I think that is excellent advice to lurk and not participate when one does not understand the basic requirements and mechanics. Fully agree.

A few more posts like that and I'll stop wasting my time on this forum too and just be a lurker for information every now and then instead of participating.

Why don't you start such forum as you suggested. I am all for a curated forum, especially weeding out those with little value to add. I take someone who criticizes my points with logic and facts any day over someone who talks nonsense such as a funded account being the most important to being a successful trader.

I assume a lot of people here have money, enough money to start up a forum such as EliteTrader for ad revenue, etc.

Assuming you also have the free time, someone should create a forum specifically with the model of kicking trolls out, "get 'em outta here" kind of mentality.

Perhaps it's something people would vote for depending on whether they were offended. With enough dislikes, the Bitter Betties would automatically be banned.

I really think there's a market for this.

Nothing like this exists and I don't believe it would be illegal or vulnerable for lawsuits if Terms of Use are explicit.

I'm sure there are a lot of us that have value and are willing to share it but, are afraid to because of the worry of getting attacked online.

I'd like to join that forum!

I'm not sure what you're talking about because based on the way you sound, I'm pretty sure I trade better than you. I don't want to sound like this but it is actually (you) that doesn't have what it takes to trade like me. You think you're better than everyone because you're a city trader? A good retail spot trader can spank any city trader, any day.

I'm outta here but it's because I have better things to do that get into online arguments that you're going to suck me into.

Geez, loose that thin skin my friend. You were the one who claimed the most important ingredient is funding. You never made your case why and were countered by someone who brought forth multiple logical arguments. That's all. Please stay, no harm intended nor done. We need people like you in the market. Cannon fodder if you catch my drift.

I couldn't resist but this will be my (last) post here and again, don't take satisfaction that you're getting the last word because, I'm choosing to leave.

You're uneducated for one thing. It's "lose" not "loose."

Also, I'm not going to be adding any liquidity to the market so the market doesn't need me. I'm just a small retail spot trader remember?

Tell yourself whatever story you want in order to feel better.

You're just corrosive and I would prefer you stay that way.

You're not winning anything in my book. In fact, I encourage you to remain poisonous because I will continue to enjoy knowing that this is how you're spending your remaining finite life.

I question the $400 but, one could have a hell of a good start with $25K in retail spot forex with a good 500:1 ECN broker. I've already hit 100% return trading the past 3 weeks with 16% DD on a $10K account, demo It takes (real) money to make (real) money.

Well, you can open an account with Oanda with $250 to trade FX, and if you were good as you said, 100% return every month can make you one million in a year.

I have a few high-quality offshore brokers. I personally would never trade with a US-based broker.

I've been testing long enough. I'm trading live this week.

I don't want to make questions about me so if there's anything else, PM me. I won't be coming back here to answer.

Good luck guys.

Here is a comment from one of the market wizards, Peter Brandt, he has a sustained ROR of 49% spanning 4 decades. Jack Schwagger considers him one of his favorites for this incredible track record. Peter knows the math of trading like few do and tells it like it is. He considers trying to trade for a living on any less than $50k to be beyond ludacris and advocates new traders working on trading in a way that is sustainable over the long haul - the get rich fast crowd that is under capitalized & over leveraged churns & burns out real fast.

by the way, care to share how you made 50% of all your posts being liked by someone (on avg)? It is difficult to fathom from your past few posts and I am not the sort to waste time to dig into others' past post history, hence my just asking you straight...

You should ask it at those who liked them. Don't lose your time reading all my postings.

It is funny to see how you judge me if even you never read my posting nor have any idea who I am or what I "achieved" in trading. But that is typical on ET.
