Quote from SusanaDT:
Sentiments like this confirm why most traders fail at trading, instead of riding strong trends on pullbacks they prefer to predict the hardest thing in trading, when all time highs will collapse or when indices will bottom.

Quote from ProgrammerGuy:
------> if most traders failing @ trading because of what you are suggesting "they are shorting tops" ----> then wouldn't it make sense to conclude the if they starting buying tops and selling bottoms then most traders will win??? (of course less slippage & comission)
-----> however if you apply that strategy you'll soon find out that there's no edge to that whatever, so therefore you can conclude that selling "tops" is just as good as buying them
----> just goes to show you why you shouldn't listen to everything (more like anything) the "trading peanut galary" says.
----> another one of my favorite of the peanut galary is that they believe that using stops are the KEY in profitable trading

Try looking in the mirror my friend.
It is you that is the arrogant and totally clueless one.
Never have I been a partner at a sub-LLC or had even the slightest managing interest with any sub-LLC (or LLC for that matter) that has been even remotely associated with day-trading. Your claims are completely baseless and are about as unsubstantiated as the OP's top-picking claim based on absolutely nothing.
All this from a 19-year old "kid" that was whining like a "baby" who had his pacifier taken away when his prop shop in NYC failed to tell him that they were closing their doors for a Friday, without notice and he had commuted into the city for nothing. - - - Guess you didn't get the memo, eh?
