I call it friction - all vendors, educators, coaches, mentors, therapists, etc. that extract money from the losers before they lose it in the markets to the winners. There is a lot of friction nowadays.

Apparently the good ones like Steenberger and Kiev get snapped up by billion $ hedge funds at a great salary and the rest just keep plugging along like any small business person. surf

2% of a billion is $20 million. They've got money to burn, so why not? They even hire guys like you to do the marketing, don't they? That's why you are the marketingsurfer.

20% of the $20 million is $4 million-- not bad for introducing 2 people.

This will be my last post..

I broke my rules again today and as much as I want to control my emotions, I just can't do it.. I believe lack of discipline is the main reason why a lot of traders fail.

I gave it a try but I don't have the mental toughness like other profitable traders..

Thanks everyone who gave me advice and good luck with Trading..

from pampers to potty

imagine a baby who just soiled its pampers crawling on all fours traveling towards the mom. mom is busy doing other stuff that needs to be done. the longer it takes for the mom to attend to the baby and clean it, the longer the baby has to remain in a dirty condition.

if mom is usually busy the baby gives up looking for mom sooner than later and learns to remain in a dirty state for long periods of time.

the baby learns that its okay to dirty itself and remain unclean.

this becomes a habit

it also gives the baby the first glimpse of its individuality; a recognition of being himself without the mom; lets call him johnny

now all through its growth this individual keeps dirtying itself by smoking, drinking, taking drugs and making bad trades etc knowing well in its adult mind that all these choices are not good for him.

but how to let go of the first glimpse of self-recognition albeit in soiled pampers; almost impossible.

but the choice has to be made one day to use the potty not the pampers and say to yourself: enough of that sh!t.

hopefully this was not too deep lol

finally you're successful .....you have achieved your true desire....failure.... and all the emotions that go with it.

He acknowledged and accepted the fact that he may not possess the traits necessary to be successful in Trading. It may have taken him longer than it should have, but that is beside the point.

It was apparent thay he did not possess the required discipline nor could he overcome his inner demons, not everyone can.

One isn't a failure for trying and not succeeding. One is a failure for never trying at all.

One can be a failure for not accepting reality and continue to proceed in a constant state of denial, squandering wealth, destroying relationships and missed opportunities.

Circumstances are different for us all. Let he who is without shortcomings cast the first stone. Just be sure you don't live in a glass house...

Wish him good fortune in all future endeavors.
