Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

I guess I should elaborate. We got people like myself, new to trading and trying to make it. We got people that acually know how to trade, trade for a living, and make money. Then we got the others. Everytime someone tries to post something intelligent they get overrun by 50 slobbering idiots claiming to avg 5 ES pts a day. They aren't shy about this, but if you ask for some proof all of a sudden that is too personal, they don't like to show off etc... What a f***ing joke. My guess is the majority of these morons are failed traders that can't whip up enough cash to open a new account, so they spend their time pretending they are traders and messing with people that actually do trade. I for one am done with this BS, it is distracting me from my trading. There, I said my piece.

Evidently, you didn't read enough. Posting here is almost exactly like trading. People have convictions about things and post their opinions based on these. Other people disagree. Still others are brought into the melee because their reading stimulates them to thinking about what they believe. Before long it's unpredictable what will happen next. So you see, this is great training for trading. And by the way, I have nothing against you personally.

I've got no problem with disagreements, arguments, debates, that sort of thing. What I have a problem with is the idiots on here that say they are making MULTIPLES of daily ranges! Guys with systems that are bringing in 100% a month. I don't mean to insult any of the real traders here, because I know there are a few of them. I just want to know what all these super rich geniuses are doing spending all there time on here, when they could be trading from their castle in the Carribean(or their own island for that matter), driving their Porsches and Hummers all over, and lighting their fat cigars with $100 bills. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, show me a statement, or post some real time trades, and I'll eat my words forever.

I'm none of what you say. But I'll post my results. I figure if you see these it may give you some hope that even an idiot can make a start of it.

Bruce,
I'm not calling anyone a liar if they say they are making money. It is just these super extravagant claims that I find a little hard to believe. What I'm saying here is if you say you are making 5pts a day and want people to believe you, you're going to have to do some convincing.

Insignful comments!

How ?

When?

In an earlier post by Scientist he says he can't post real-time picks from one of his 11 systems for "obvious" reasons. Lets see here, he has already posted a couple of charts with some picks on them, why can't he post them in real time? This won't be giving away any more of his system than he already has. It ain't obvious to me, but then again, I am not in the top 1% of MENSA. Doh!

We belive you, and your sincerity as well, Bruce.
