where have all the traders gone?

Quote from Steve Tvardek:

Most people only look for the bad things on here instead of seeking out things that could make them a better trader. I guess thats why so many fail at this business!:D

Nice hypothesis but I suspect the failing is more likely to lead to the negativity rather than the other way around.

Not that I wish to imply that negativity implies that one is an unsuccessful trader - I think that this game attracts social misfits etc and we see them all at T2W and ET. I got into trading because I like numbers and patterns and got sick of having bosses - which is not a sign of someone who's good at sucking up to everyone and making them feel good :)

Jasmine, I suspect that the above thoughts may have a lot to do with he way these places degenerate. I also think there is a pattern/cycle where people ask or help and then gradually find it all tedious (or get insulted once or twice) and the way they use this particular toilet deteriorates.

Yuck! Time I took a break again.

steve - would you point out a day as an example from the recent past - thx in advance.

I work a system that keeps me out until the market shows me a significant intraday move to trade.

From what I have seen, it shouldn't be 1%. That is too much. Try .1%. That is more realistic.

you got to watch those decimal places
 
IMHO, the most vocal here are the most inexperienced - -those with something to offer simply get drowned out.

A great example is when I asked who had read all the terms & conditions imposed by the retail fx broker/dealers and was told nobody ever has problems with them and its all cool.
 
Quote from ozzy:

I find it amusing how some of you trash ET, yet you keep coming back to it.

I enjoy sifting through ET threads looking for information. I find people who are knowledgeable and attempt to learn from them. If possible I try to incorporate their ideas onto my overall system/strategy (or at least keep their ideas in mind for a later date when I will be able to make use of it). There is a lot of information here.

I wanted to apologize for calling you a punk!

I was having a bad day...

I wish you lots of success in your trading endeavors. :)
 
Hey Samson.

No problem. The reason I was rude was because I found your response a little condescending. My comment was general and I agree with your view point that experience in trading is very important.

Take care and Good Luck as well.
 
Seems that there are a new generation here once again.

I note that ripley made the second post ... which is interesting given his current theme :)
