the BEST traders i know

[d08]

Some flourish in high volatility, others in low volatility.
This is sort of like arguing "red cars are best" - "no, blue cars are better".
It all comes down to the type of strategy being used, daytraders should be considered as trading systems (in that they apply certain methodology consistently) - some should be sitting on their hands, others shouldn't.

I hope new traders don't listen to this BS. Seriously, how narrow-minded can you be?

What does "doing things on the side" mean? Delivering pizzas until the new bull market starts?

Quote from NY_HOOD:

the best traders i know are making great money..know how? they are not trading in this environment and doing things on the side. its that simple and if you think i am exaggerating,i am not.

I have no idea "who" the TRADERS that you "know" are, but the fact of the matter is that people that specialize in trading one specific sector, day-in and day-out . . . such as the Oil Service issues (OIH) are cleaning-up.

The best traders you know suck at trading. The best traders I know make $100-500k/day in this environment without blinking.

If you can't make money in this market then you may want to reconsider trading as a profession.

yes and Roger Federer plays better in grand slam finals, so fucking what?
this is just common sense, in times of high volatility and noise, discipline and risk management became more important so the marginal winning trader start to lose
