How a self made top 5% trader views the world (ME)

Quote from chloride:


and remember, when trading ask your self

What would Spock from original Star Trek say here if he was trying to find a good trading method.

this must be the reason why I'm not one of the top 5% traders. I asked myself what Luke Skywalker would do, and even Captain Adama. But I have never thought of Spock. I guess I'm not smart enough

Can we move this thing to chit chat?
 
Quote from BJL:

Actually, talent only accounts for 10%. I have to agree with OP that difference between well enough, talented player and top player is 90% persistence.

If you think talent only accounts for 10% of being an NBA player, than you have never played sports my friend. That is laughable.
 
Quote from NTB:

Your method is not a prescription for life success. Money is but one aspect in the pursuit of happiness. Going through life angry, hateful, and negative is inconsistent with happiness. Find another way to be a successful trader. There are plenty of kind, happy, pleasant money making traders. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

you are happy because you are ignorant

even if you are ignorant by choice, I can understand that

basically, you don't worry or think about things you can't change

well I can't do that

by saying what would Spock do

I am saying, LOOK for logic in trading

aren't you a little smarty pants assumer
 
I will admit this is one of the more interesting threads started on ET and a nice personal rant BUT what's the purpose of it again :confused:
 
you cannot put a dollar amount on happiness...

most people consider me an optomistic person, however deep down in side is a bottomless pit full of anger and rage (grows deeper as I become more knowledgable of the society we live in)...

i agree, anger makes you stronger and more focused... but it will also destroy your soul

ignorance is bliss....

--------just my two-cents----------
 
well as I get older I am less angry

and then things happen like 9/11 that gets me to start foaming at the mouth

BTW I made nice profit of 9/11

how could you not

but at the same time if you inform yourself about it

YOU'LL START FOAMING :D
 
Chloride, aside from your little manifesto (which I happen to like), this is all self-indulgent crap. Show us how you're a top 5% trader. Any war stories or history to share? Any P/L to download? Anything at all other than your own laughable self-asssessment? Absolutely dead certain you were home on Friday night because you broke you leg. LOL
