"What Is Trading?"

Have to agree with metooxx. Trading is about making money, period. You decide on risk.

The rest is mumbo-jumbo, feel-good wannabe trader speak that sounds good for an interview or book but otherwise won't help you.
 
Quote from alfonso:

Life, for the vast majority of Earth's population, is largely a matter of survival; about producing enough to be able to satisfy the basic requirements of life.

In the west, we are 'fortunate' (it wasn't really simply a matter of luck) to be able to argue about no end of life is about this's and life is about that's. In that case, do what pleases you, as long as what you do doesn't impinge on anyone else's right to do the same.

Meetoox and Dottom you guys are both pretty lame :(

You are both mechanical traders, no? Why would you expect a discretionary traders written experience to be consistent with your own? You guys program software and hardware to make your desciosions and carryout your actions. You took the human elemant out of your game...

Some don't rely on speed, commissions or volume Meetoox and d some of us dont program a computer to attempt to scalp 1/2's or 1pt from the ES dottom...

Meetoox, maybe you can serperate trading and life, but for me trading is life. This shit aint a hobby or just some 9-5 job for some...

Whatever though, to each his own...

Trader: "No."

Market: "But you expected me to, didn't you?"

Trader: "Yes."

Market: "So I fooled you, didn't I?"

Trader: "??????????.........."
