True that, and you left out psychopaths. Our industry is full to the gills with narcissistic psychopaths and other deplorables.

But that is irrelevant to my point. Without some industry experience and/or academic background, a would-be independent trader has little chance of success.

Yes because they traded against you and made up for the commissions. They even had trading softwares that had plug-in's that helped them do it. Ask anybody who's ever traded forex. If you haven't, you have no idea what you are talking about. I will just dismiss this as a pathetic troll comment.

Comparing Forex with stock trading is like comparing apple to orange.
Comparing free comm in Forex with free comm in stock is like comparing apple to orange.

Only been here a while so not sure who's who in the Zoo. I've got the following added to my follow list:

@Scataphagos
@KCalhoun
@easymon1
@Handle123
@comagnum
@deaddog
@Overnight

There's obviously a lot of others like @destriero (so long as you don't take the abuse to heart lol).

Who are the experienced Traders with a wealth of knowledge worth listening to please?

Hello Darc,

You have asked a very very good question.

I honestly have no answer for you.

I am against giving trading advice as I have no real money track record of +1 years to validate what I say will mean you any good.

I honestly wish I worked on the ES trading floor with actually floor traders back in the day.

Yes you are right. I was employed by some tycoon at an institution for a while. I didn't like how everyone worshipped one guy on the desk and the office was way too expensive and NYC isn't even a nice place to be
