Why does no one here give detailed trading advice?

Quote from hellothere:

I've been lurking for a while, and have noticed that none of the supposed successful traders here give any detailed advice on how to trade successfully. Occasionally some people will give vague hints, but that's useless for neophytes who need more specific instructions. One has to wonder if anyone here really is successful.

It's interesting to compare this site with sites that are devoted to getting women (as money and women are the 2 things that men want the most). Do a google search for "fast seduction" or "speed seduction" and you will find plenty of sites devoted to getting women. Many of these sites have extremely detailed instructions on how to get women. They tell you how to handle various situations, and even tell you exactly what words to say to a woman, and how and when you should engage in physical contact. They spell out a lot of what you need to say and do to get a woman. There are message boards too where people post about how they approached a woman and what they said and did. It's all a very supportive environment, as guys all try to help each other become more successful getting women.

But then on this site, it seems like the supposed successful traders just post smug and condescending comments towards the novices. Occasionally they might say something vague and pass it off as advice, but they don't offer anything specific that would actually be helpful. No wonder so many people say this site is just for entertainment purposes, no one is willing to share their knowledge to help other people learn.

If guys are willing to give specific and detailed instructions on how to pick up women, then why aren't they willing to do the same when it comes to trading? Guys probably want women a little more than they want money (and one of the reasons guys want money is because they think it will help them get women, but the opposite isn't true), so it seems like if they are willing to share their knowledge on how to pick up women, then they should also be willing to share their knowledge on trading. Is anyone here really a successful trader?

Because more than 5% of male traders get laid in their lifetime. However, no more than 5% make money. You see, I will give you advice on how to bang 1 of 1,000,000 girls I would sleep with. However, I will not give you advice on how to make money in the 1 of 1 markets I am trading.
 
You could get advice, but in the end real trading needs to be learned from within yourself. I would advise you to gather as much information and resources as you can, as well as tools, and start sifting through things.

Knowledge is always taken more seriously when you realize it on your own. You can get information from others and realize they are right or wrong, but that is in now way the same thing as advice. You should be collecting information. Good luck.

Not true. I'll offer specific instructions below:

(1) Buy low - sell high

(2) Sell short high - Buy to cover low

(3) The trend is your friend (do not confuse that with "the friend is your trend")

(4) Buy higher but sell a much higher

(5) Maintain a high profit factor

(6) Let your winner run and cut your losses short

The above are detailed instructions. You follow, you are rich in about two years.

Romanus,

Thank you for the civil response, appreciate it.

My question still holds though, howcome you rarely see a blog or auto chart annotated trades from traders using SCT?

Howcome not even Spyder provides them ?

In this business, I can't help being a skeptic.

I can't help but agree with you that being a skeptic is essential for survival.

What you see, what you hear - nothing is what it seems.

You can't trust your five senses, only the little voice inside you most people don't even hear - listen to that. Trust yourself.

I am new to this forum and an avid trader. There seems to be mixed feelings across a wide spectrum concerning this subject.

On one hand if you worked hard to develope a system that brings great profits to your portfolio then why just give away your long hours of hard work? Maybe a book is in the offing.

This guy is SSSSlloowwwwwwwwww. We all know what "WORKS FOR YOU" is nothing more than taking the ingredients from a book, from a GOOGLE site, from an exchange site, from the stars, from gurus (HA), etc , etc and mixing it all up and finally after many flops get a cake out of the oven that has not flopped.

This is what would happen if Aunt Jemima and Mrs Butterworth each posted in ET. The usual deal about trying to go lower than the other person.

I told you freaks that you cannot controll yourselves. I knew that this thread would end up here or in the garbage can. How do you expect a serious trader to take this site for real when instead of getting rid of the riff raff you get rid of the thread.

Now you all know why this website is the joke of the trading forums.

You are all a bunch of hillbillies ya all come back now ya hear..:p
