Its arrogant twats like you that bring et down. You and the arrogant shites that insist that someone elses simple way doesn't work. What a pack of dumb arsed wankers !@!

The interesting question: why are these people so insulted by the suggestion that trading doesn't demand great intelligence?
The title of the thread says it all.....TRADING IS FOR DUMB PEOPLE! If that isn't a condescending, arrogant remark, then what is? Then the author continues his arrogance by stating he is a microbiologist, as if we really care, and we're suppose to be impressed by that.
Here's the truth. Hedge funds have invested hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars developing their systems, and employ the best and brightest from a variety of fields. If trading were truly for dumb people, why not pick up high school drop outs, and train them to do the work, they sure could save alot on overhead?
They understand that any schmuck can have a good trade, a good week, hell even a good year, but it takes talent, real talent, to beat the markets year in and year out. So they employ the best of the best.
My guess is that africatrader will be swallowed by the plains, devoured by the lions, or chewed up by the hyenas. In the end, all that will be left will be a few nickles and dimes and a few interesting posts. Though beaten, he will not be humbled, nor give up hope. He will reincarnate himself under a fresh alias with 5k to trade, another simple trading method, and begin another thread insulting those who do what he can't do....Trade for a living.
