ET is filled with guys that don't even trade or trade on their boss's computer.

Quote from MandelbrotSet:

And you know this how?

LOL, ... there's $5,000 that says you don't know what you are talking about
$5000? That’s it?
For an interent bet aren’t you supposed to say $50k or $100k?

Actually I am a little curious as to the number of actually successful traders who frequent this site. With the definition of successful being that you trade your own money, net more than $1k per day average, and have a % return over 50 for the year. I am guessing it is less than 20.

So $240k per year and trade an account of at least 480k?
 
Basically...who the FUCK CARES?! If someone is a wannabe, what the fuck do you care what they say or think? They're food for the rest of us. If they aren't trading in RT then I can't take their money. This isn't a fantasy league, you know. So what?

There are approximately 250 trading days, so that would be a net profit of $250k per year, which would be the minimum required for an experienced educated professional to give up a good job and benefits to trade for a living, in my opinion. If you make 250k on a $100k account (or less) then you are quite a trader, on a $500k account you are doing well, but on a $1M account you are better classified as an investor.

I was under the impression it was 244 days. Don't know where I heard it but it was stuck in my head.
 
Quote from stock777:

I only trade when I can't lose, so that doesn't even count.

You work the popcorn machine at the local movie theater and deliver pizza for Domino's.

Since you can't afford a computer, in between shifts you run to the library to start worthless threads that always end up in chit-chat.
 
Quote from Ticketwatcher:

Personally, I like the forum, and I even like some of the bullshit provided not by professional traders but by world class bullshitters.
World class bullshitters?

ROFLMAO!
:p
