No hermits with fat bank accounts but live under bridge types.

What is your definition of a hermit? If someone was a millionaire from trading but still drove a Civic, would that automatically make them ineligible for your fancy pants article? Would making a million be enough to be eligible? What's the cutoff? If someone trades in their undies, would they be disqualified?

I think life style doesn't matter. What matters is the trading performance.

Marketsurfer goes out of his way to say:

...trading ONLY has enabled you to live your dreams and you do live well. Must be documented and lifestyle must be reflective of success. No hermits with fat bank accounts but live under bridge types.

Also, this is not the first time Marketsurfer has shown disdain for people who do have wealth, but do not choose to flaunt it publicly.

I feel a possible anti-discrimination lawsuit coming. How about hermits with no bank account that live under bridges? Also would a driving a Dodge dart and living under a bridge count as "living the good life" and having a "lifestyle reflective of success" if this was "living your dreams"?

no offense anyone! this is more of a "lifestyle" article than a trading article--trading is merely the vehicle to attain the lifestyle.

no disdain for anyone meant, sorry if i came across that way---this is purely journalistic intent.

thanks,

your right it doesn't.

however for the purposes of the article, its critical.

Not until I make at least $1/4M a year for two years in a row, and not all on one or two trades. It has to show consistancy over small to intermediatel time frames - no investments.

All this pressure is going to cause me to take on too much risk and blowout on an unlucky break.
