The secret of succesful traders

[MarkBrown]

Thank you for disclosing your strategy. If I understand correctly you only slaughter the (weak) sheep who stray too near to the boundary of a 21 period linear regression channel?

Length selected based on options expiration rather than the traditionally favored length=20?

i think you could put me in a room full of quants and ask me how to design an algorithm to find the largest palindrome in a given string. i could not only show you 10 ways in 10 languages to program it, i could show you most importantly the 100 ways it would not work.

i could stand in front a room full professional traders and trade successfully without any charts, computers, indicators, systems or even a paper bag and pencil as a crutch to all's amazement. likewise someone could pick a market and a tool give to me to use and i would outperform anyone with it.

i have the ability to trade options, futures, stocks and yes eggs, manipulate markets at my whim, make the market come to me, can show you a commercial trade on a chart that seemingly looks void of any such revelation and know from that block trade what the direction of the outcome will be.

lot of i's going on there so i will stop cause you're all boring me now...

I have read your other posts , your personality from your hundreds of your other posts ,on similar claims , forums are full of people like you.

Are you a narcissist?.Narcissists don't make good traders ,because they are all talk and no trousers.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Are you attacking The Main Man ?
For his hairstyle perhaps
or his looks ?
" Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. "

Maybe he is a bit confused. I know I am with his babble. But at least he isn't another boring politician - reading what his script writers have written for him.

hey i admit i am probably the biggest loser on this entire forum, there is no one here unless niederhoff is on this pathetic forum which even he would not stoop so low as to be here. anyway i am a realist knowing where i come from and a hard core beliver in my abilities.

i dare say none of you will ever know the lows and highs i have simply because you have long run out of funds before even getting close. i traded commercially on a percentage basis, i am also one of the few here who actually has a independently audited track record of over 25% returns for the only two years i was on my own. i traded commercially for a fund that never failed to outperform the sp and also never had a losing year for over a decade.

i also traded for a fund that has to this day the largest returns on clients when viewed on a decade basis. btw that was well over 125% independently audited record in one year of that decade report. if you have access to tracking services you could figure out who that is.

ok i have too many i's going on again and i don't like that so i stop playing with the pigs because they like the mud far too much. m

Mark, it's been my experience your posts have always been very helpful no mater what you talk about. I hope you share more thoughts, ideas and experiences. Thank you

To: ...most of the rest of ET (9,999 out of 10k of you). Don't strain yourselves looking for insights. You're not clever enough to put it all together.

thank's for the kind comment - m

btw mature trader discussions are mostly on linkedin now search for
Algorithmic Traders Association

why they can't put it together.

i myself could not put it together either. i thought i could, i had tremendous success early on but what i found out was that market conditions changed and i didn't adapt. i had not experienced enough different types of market conditions to understand what to use when.

> i was going to go on but realized i didn't want to give away any more edges on this forum so i will send you where i was going in a pm. while the pigs feed on their own feces.

I wrote an email to Rande Howell , psychologist thanking him very much for his free youtube videos , and told him "The first thing an aspiring trader should be taught is psychology ".It should be top of the list.

Most trading books only cover trading i.e technical anylysis , mas ,indicators , price action etc , but no mention of psychology.Books are written by writers , most never traded , so they would not know what to write about. Pschology is ten times more important , in my view.Trading is a stressful business , during trading our minds are blocked and overcome by stress , emotions and the need to be right , all the technical is ignored or takes less priority in trader's minds.

I don't presume to know too much, but I have been (prop) trading for 10 years now. I teach courses, or used to, for my little office. The first thing I tell the newbies is that a trader sits on a three-leg stool. Remove one of them and you are going to fall so hard on your ass it won't be even funny. 1. Psychology/emotions 2. Correct risk/money management 3. Strategy/pattern

Saying any of them is more or less important than the other two is nonsense, IMHO. Correct psychology/emotional control may be the hardest to achieve, but without the other two, you are also dead. I guess learning a strategy or to recognize a pattern, especially if someone with knowledge is kind enough to explain it to you, is the easiest one. But most books stop there (even if they write about correct "strategies"). Just my few cents...
