Well , I am 19 year old , currently trading for my second year , my father used to trade back in the 1980's right now he's working as a vice president in a marketing firm , my sister used to trade back in 2007-2010 as a commodities futures trader - very successful , although she decided to move and " save the planet"(Money is not her goal) I hope she succeeds ,so right now it was my turn , There's a big chance I won't beat my sisters records until I am in my mid 20's but I will try , I've received training from some of the great traders - my dad's friends and I did learn a lot , I view trading and great traders as serial killers , serial killer never attacks unless he knows that odds of making a kill are great , if a serial killer jumps on every victim possible on daily-basis without analyzing them properly he's likely to get caught and his life will be over.
As a retail investor /trader you can choose the time you want to trade as well as the price , you don't need to be in the market every single day , leave that meat in the middle for Lions and crocodiles - let them fight it out ,leopard is not one of them , leopard knows when price and time is right , take the best risk/reward opportunities .Market does give a lot of time for a person to react and recognize the opportunity , At times it gives too much time - still many don't take advantage of them , Don't be blind and don't be a follower , innovate.
P.S I am too young to realize what is wrong here , unless a lot of people are way too emotional
