I found when I was working as an Electronics Technician that I lived and breathed electronics, studied theory and practice for years and then one day I looked around and realized I had little competition really. I completely overshot and they were coming to me to solve things the engineers could not. i'm there now regarding trading and it took a lot longer than the electronics thingy... I'll not be reading the SCT threads anytime soon. That alone makes it all worth it

Quote from guauld:
I am sorry but when I see threads like "ok lets think where to put money in now"
such threads are a complete waste of text and Baron's bytes, why don't you take a look at what a successful trader like me does
I worked for years to develop methods and even indicators that work but I am still at it, always seeking better ways
*Just Spent 8 hours programing
*didn't go out in 9 days now
*have only few remaining friends, others lost touch with
*my family believes I need to take a longer vacation
Do you SEE IT, do you see what it takes in this business
compare yourself to me grasshoppers
ask yourself, can you compete with a lunatic like me![]()
PS: I am in futures, wouldn't touch stocks with a ten foot pole :eek:
Quote from pclark:
Sounds like you've lost the meaning of life.
If you were truly sucessful you would not be spending 8 hours programming and stuck in your house for 9 days. You would hire a programmer and spend time making friends and sharing your life w/someone. T
Trading should be a means to an end not the end of your life.
