what factors contributed to your success as a trader? Did you have a mentor or are you a self made trader? what advice would you give younger generation traders to have a higher probability chance of success? what homework do after the market has closed for the day? Thanks

Quote from ByLoSellHi:
Is it possible to make consistent profits, and by the time you retire from trading, be net positive, and avoid committing suicide like Livermore and others?
Is it true that the surest way to make a small fortune trading is to start with a large one?
Isn't is the case that the only way you can make money over the long term, and not lose one's ass, is to trade (and lose) other peoples' money?
Thanks.
What do you think about guys like Steve Cohen? Do you feel he is a scam or that he will blow up sooner or later? Btw, please dont spoil this thread with your apocalystic bias, thank you.
Good thread and thanks for sharing. How did your first 5 years go and what were the major reasons why you were not successful?
Did you have a mentor or were you self taught?

I wasn't trying to spoil the thread; those were legitimate questions that I'd really like to hear a response to from someone who is an alleged career trader (I'm not insinuating he's not; just taking him at his word).
And yes, I do think it's inevitable that Steve Cohen (or should I say SAC Capital, as they are a sum of moving parts there) will inevitably blow up, but no, I have not heard or read or learned anything to indicate that he or his firm is a "scam."

Thank you for the straight answer.
Trading is usually slow from July to when?? Mid-September maybe?
Currently, I can pull some [simulated] money out of the YM on intraday trends when we have news that shakes things up a little but not on days with no news... after activity picks up in the fall will the trends be like they are on a good day now, but all the time?
