It's cool how this guy is pretty discouraged and you kick him when he's down. . . .
I hope someday someone returns the favor to you, Champ

You are right and wrong at the same time, imo.
You can spend ten years trying to learn the market on your own and get nowhere. Learning from those that do this for a living will cut your loses and will make you a trader in a year.
However, I am 99% certain you that there isn't a single person on ET that you can learn this from, unless that person has a firm and you are lucky enough to work for them and learn the ropes.
These people on ET or other online forums that tell you they will mentor you for free, or that you pay them and you will learn to trade, well, that is your worst trade of all.
Go and work for a firm. If you don't live in Chicago or NY or other financial centers around the world, and are just starting out, you are already a losing trader.
Good luck to all of you.

You're just a ray of sunshine, aren't you? And, no doubt, a hit at parties.
(As an aside, isn't everyone who is just starting out necessarily a losing trader by definition, since he or she is certainly not a winning trader at that point? And, if so, then what is the point of your observation?)
What would you know? You're only 2 posts in.
He might well have a sense of humour.
As it is, he can only give this game one year and he's probably right because he can't make a plan that works and he can't follow any plan. And sure as hell he hasn't learnt anywhere near enough to be trading in the first place.
Ooops...sorry, Champ

Careful. Champignon doesn't like to be called "Champ." It's just a little too close to "Chimp" for his liking.
