The best traders in ET

I want to know what makes a winning trade...

For me, what makes a winning trade is any trade with an entry and exit made according to my business plan, which is quite precise.

I'm pretty sure everyone whose trading plan I've reviewed will ask me to define "precise" :cool:
 
its downright scary how many people bs nonsense over here; although i consider the time spent building themselves up would be better served actually building edge instead...but still as mentioned through the years it seems some really decent traders have showed up around here.

in my case through trader p/l i post weekly, monthly and yearly marks to eliminate the cherry picking that is possible. my reasons as stated many times before is to show guys it is indeed possible to excel in this field given hard work,brains and luck. i don't aspire to be the best here; just to be happy and financially secure.
If my words are indeed nonsense, then what else would you use to measure who's the so-called best besides results?
 
That's really what it comes down to. Lots of people can talk the talk, but who's actually getting results is what determines the best trader.

you misunderstood me. i am agreeing with your post.

what i was trying to say is i find it amazing guys spend time building up their persona here but could not trade themselves any real profit. not referring to you as guilty party.
 
On ET and in the Real world , it doesent mather if u are a profitable trader. Or an awesome analyst or a good doctor , Lawyer etc U dont Even have to be right .. Most
Of the time , its all just a mather of how good you can sell yourselve!
 
I know you have no idea
Says the person who is still asking who is the best trader after over 550 replies to this thread. At this point even a slow-witted child would have figured out the answer is entirely subjective. And if you spent time actually following the names you've been given, you wouldn't need to keep coming back to this thread asking the same inane question over and over.

I Just ask for fun, while you take it so seriously. I hope you can get out of your own mental trap.
