Why do newbies lose?

[Sprout]

Good Evening Sprout,

Why do I need to listen to audio books of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca or a primer by Ryan Holiday? Who are these people? And are they trading 50-100 ES contracts?

Starring at the ES charts every day and clicking Buy or Sell button at +100ES contracts is all the value I need.

Another value option is watching +300 Real Time trades of someone or something trading 50-100ES contracts.

Until then, I do it myself and show everyone as I said above.

Your circular logic fails.

The definition of insanity fits here.

You don’t need to do anything.

With your mindset, watching those trades in that size wouldn’t make much sense to you.

The market isn’t linear. One can go weeks/mths without everything aligned to justify putting on that type of size.

This thread illustrates all to well why newbies fail. I could use a big hit of black tar to feel good after having read some of the comments on here.

"I already watch trading training videos on how to trade the ES market and the person in the video teaching was good enough for me."

Wow...I mean WOW!!

At least read about the 1987 stock market crash. Read about the 2000/2001 dot.com bubble. Read about the 2008 financial crisis. That is history dude...You can learn from history can't you?? You could even look them up on Wikipedia...Very little reading.

You are a market maker's dream come true...

Good Evening Cabin111,

Why do I need to read or watch videos about the 1987, 2000/2001 or 2008 finical crisis for?

A simple look at the ES or SP500 chart shows price goes clearly ONE way the past 10 decades. So, what is there to google about or waste time on Wikipedia. It should be a no-brainer what to do long term for the SP 500 chart. No need to read about anything, just buy.

Good Evening Sprout,

Your circular logic fails.

The definition of sanity fits with me. I am trading my own way with my own mind. I am at peace with that and happy with it. And better yet, having fun trading the ES market everyday. I am not complaining about anything.

Correct, I do not need to do anything, I am not doing anything.

I have clearly told you nearly 50 times what I was doing, but you seem to not be acceptance of that for whatever reason. If you want to go read books, go ahead, I respect your decision. I just told you and several others I am not reading no trading book. I see no value in trading books when I can be doing other things more valuable.

Not sure what the big fuss is about.

All this talk because I posted I do not believe in reading trading books. That is my belief, let me run with it.

One more time, why do I need a trading book when the ES chart, Buy Button, Sell Button, and Back test button has all the answers already?

Sir/Ma'am/Ms,

I believe (just me), either you are delusional or joking with us.

How do most people gain insight to an issue or problem? By not only talking, but by reading about that issue or problem.

I don't want to turn this spiritual...But many considered Solomon the wisest man ever. He said...Proverbs 4:7

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.

I'll leave it at that...

Good Evening Cabin111,

I am very curious why you think I am delusional or just joking with you or anyone?

I have stated that I do not read trading books or watch trading training videos. Why does that bother you so much?

Right now, I am listening to SukiHana and Sexy Redd video below and playing Xbox Madden. Does that bother you as well?

FYI, I am very excited to see Sexy Redd in concert in November. Many sexy women will be there too!

Thank you,

Good Eveing Sprout,

I respect your comment. I personal do not see that way. Per my calculations, putting on that type of size has nothing to do with market alignment to me. I can do it everyday.
