A compliment, of course!

If you don't mind, extra income from royalties are not too bad.

Amateurs love books & there're tons of them.

Thanks, but there's no value to putting yourself out there and allowing people you would abhor, know something about you. Plus, someone might figure out how I keep an edge, then my edge would disappear as has happened to guys i know who gave it away and lost their edge.

Bored, I guess? I'm not in the market right now. I really don't know why I post here but haven't made that many posts in the 5 years or whatever I've had a presence here.

Yeah, I think that's why the majority post here. It does break up the boredom and every so often there's a bit of actionable info.

Of all the stories you get an experience, I think that traders always win, because the losses are also a way to learn and improve. although there are traders who never recover from a loss.

Wouldn't it be of great interest if experienced traders would post a description of their most successful trading strategy? What they trade, when they trade and how they trade? Is this not the reason everyone is here?

Even better, why don't they trade your account for you too?
