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

Quote from atticus:

Commander_guy/Insert/Referrer and now Chloride.

none are me

but I am sure all are better than you

I am here on Fri night, I broke my leg in two different places

you are here on Friday night because you are pathetic.

sorry, but if you can't take a bit of heat, well get the hell out of the kitchen. :D

How is that guy more pathetic than you? At least he can walk properly without breaking a leg.
You sound very professional, I'm sure you're making money consistently, I'm sure!
 
With as long as the Internet and message boards have been around surely we'd have evolved to the point of realizing its totally worthless to talk about who is better than who, who's quality of life is better than who elses and who is a better trader/has more money etc. You can say anything you want on the internet, and unless you get to know a person you will have no idea...even then a person can decieve others for a good amount of time if that is their goal.
 
As usual negativity shows up on every thread

starting with a person accusing me of being not one but several other people

if you trader wannabees out there want to read my thread as motivation then do so

if you want to read my thread as entertainment only.......hell then do so

to each his own I guess
 
Quote from chloride:


I see life as a struggle, I see our collective lives as a fucking prison.

find your source of power in your anger, anger in how this world works,

if you are not angry, you are not well informed.


its worthless 99% of times



and then you say:

As usual negativity shows up on every thread


Seykota's take on 'intentions' at his web site: "Intention = Result"
 
Quote from chloride:

only persistence, only persistence

Most of your OP is OK...
But here you are DEAD WRONG.

It's like saying "only persistence" is required to be:

(1) A world class musician.

(2) An NBA basketball player.

(3) A feature film director.

Nothing could be further from the truth.
Talent is 90% of the ballgame... as it is in trading.

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.
 
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.
 
Quote from chloride:

I thought all you new people would appreciate to read how exactly does a top trader think about trading and everything else.

Come with me on this journey.

First of all, I am not too social, slightly introverted which explains why I am on ET.

Don't get me wrong, I "party" go to clubs sometimes, have 5 good friends etc. But I am most comfortable alone.

Now lets get to the money.

I do not believe that I am better than you. But I DO believe that I am different from you.

How so ????

well .........try to bear with me

I am a cynical son of a bitch

I am critical of myself and others

I am well read in many many topics.

I do not believe I made a choice to be this way, I think most of us have no choice in how we think.

I see life as a struggle, I see our collective lives as a fucking prison.

Trading or starting own business is a way to ESCAPE from Maximum Security prison to minimum security.

I see EVIL but I am also willing to admit that I am part of this EVIL.

making it in world of trading requires source of POWER

find your source of power in your anger, anger in how this world works,

if you are not angry, you are not well informed.

find your anger, find your power, use your power to sustain you in this tough field.

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.

and don't listen to people who are giving you their strategy

its worthless 99% of times

use the Force, Luke :D
