Excuse me:
I am sure NihabaAshi does not require my assistance. However, I do want posters to take notice as follows;
Nihaba is a long time member. If anyone took the time to read his posts, surely they would come to understand that his intention is to help traders along this difficult road. I encourage some of you to get off you asses and read his previous posts. They are in English.
In my experience, futures and commodities traders are no different than equities traders. Professional traders active in futures markets make good liviings. In my experience, good professionals often prefer not to broadcast their successes and failures for public consumption. In my own case, I get more satisfaction knowing that I am taking care of my family obligations than from trying to establish my place in the ET pecking order.
In general, retail participants (both equities and futures) tend to make less money (if any), and are less consistent over time. Again this is common sense. Retail traders are less likely to recognize when a strategy is no longer effective. Thus they are exposed to more risk and more volatile equity curves.
Good luck in the markets
Steve
