Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

trading knowledge can be easily acquired
trading skills can be easily learned
mentally you can think it is easy, then it is easy, just like self-prophesy.
from those points, you see it is damn easy.
the problem here is: knowing or having or talking is totally different from doing
the hardest thing in trading is: doing. in doing, you find you are beaten up by the market or you may be the hero or the market center
you know if you jump off a cliff, you may still live with no major injury,but ask you to do it in reality, will you do it?even you know it is just a jump, it posts no harm, but you could not do it!

Yes ok, we are stating that a trader can reach profitability a lot faster if they are given certain information that goes unoticed to the average struggling trader. Isn't that obvious in almost any endeavour? Is it right to give out that information on an ET thread? I'm not so sure. That is a slap in the face to those that have paid for that information with years of hard hard work. Just a thought.
Quote from MrCharts:
You know exactly how I think RN, as some others do as well.
99.99999% of what is put out there is pure and utter rubbish.
Mentors, prop firms, leverage of 400:1, advanced screening programmes, black boxes, etc, etc, etc - they are all done for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to satisfy a market demand, like most products that sell.
Trading is as simple as ABC, or 123, if a trader will just give it the time to be so, instead of trying to copy what others do.
There was never a more true saying than,
"If only I knew then what I know know"
So, what most people don't know is that you can "know now before you knew then", if you get the drift?
I would really enjoy to see a newbie start of with no past experience of trading whatsoever, just follow some very simple basic Laws (rules), and see what he/she can actually do if the consciously decide to not care about what others do.
I know, for a fact, that any person who will do this, will make money trading, and how much they will eventually make will depend on how serious they are about what they do, and how practical they are about the situations they find themselves in.
Not too many will do this, actually, I would even go as far as saying, not even one person in 1 trillion, and I will show you later on, just for amusement, how big 1 trillion $ is
All righty obviously we need a box â but where to begin
Letâs see
I believe this box must define
What weâre doing
Why weâre doing it
When we should do it
When we would be wrong / How much weâre risking
And âpossiblyâ how much we could gain
I say âpossiblyâ â because I would submit if one could limit (control) losers â then winners are almost assured â and inconsequential.....
Now tell me that doesnât simply boggle the mindâ¦. If you allow itâ¦your choice as always
Btw â no pithy (herd mentality) comments about â Look now RNâs guaranteeing 100% winners â I never said that, but it is logical that if one can control one thing (a loser) then the other (a winner) is bound to happen â frequently
So am I missing anything here with respect to what this box must doâ¦..
And more importantly of course â what could I possibly use, that the many are not already using, to build this boxâ¦â¦I just wonder
Btw â I am NOT asking MC (he already knows) â So please jump in and help meâ otherwise whatâs the use
Remember â Trading is a thinking manâs / womanâs game
Feel free to join the manyâ¦. or work (think) your way through this â your choice â as it always isâ¦

To be honest, NO!
To be truthful, I ended up where my initial thoughts had led me, but having falling for the marketing material, I like many spent thousands and wasted endless hours trying to find that perfect combination of this and that, that was supposed to let me win, boy what a dumb ass trader I was!
It is only when you make some good money, and then give it back, and then repeate this about 2 more times, then, and only then does the heavy stone drop on your big toe!
As you can see, I am no different to most, it is just that I had the cop on from day one to not lose it all in a very short time, and I set out to learn, not to win, but on my journey I was led astry by mentors, guru's, professionals, yuppies, and what ever else you want to call them, but I can honestlly tell you now that they are all fools, and the only real thing that they thought me was that I was a bigger fool.
It took the 7 year cycle of life for me to cop on, and eventually I siad to myself, what the fuk am I doing, these shit heads know sweet fuck all about me and how I think, so how the fuk are they going to help me make money?
Suddenly, I saw the market for what it really was, and instead of having to get the trade on, I had to wait until it was time to put my money at risk, so that the odds of me losing was very small, and the odds of me winning were much better than me losing.
Its a mugs game, really, but only if you are a mug!
