Are we referring to how societies must work?
I.e., the rich will always be rich, and the poor will always be poor.
The market operates in a way, where the wealth flows from the majority to the minority, for if this were not the case, there would be no point to it. It is why nobody in their right mind would post exactly how to take money from other traders on the internet... as it would defeat the purpose of the market.
Is this the general idea that you are speaking of? That wealth generally flows from the majority to the minority?
Haven't been here for a while but I see folks are still struggling to get it.
The obvious prerequisite to successful trading is obvious when you think about it. You need a method that actually works.
Imagine if you were cooking steaks for the first time. No matter how good the beef is, or how good your kitchen equipment is, if you don't use a method of cooking which produces good results, you'll end up with rubbish steaks. Do you think if you keep using the same method the steaks will eventually get better?
Will you find a good method for cooking steak in cookery books? Almost certainly. Will you find a good method for trading in trading books? Hmm.
How many people start out trading with a method that they know actually works? Which if they repeat over and over, day in day out, week in week out, month in month out, will deliver a positive P&L?
What use is all of this, I hear you ask? Well, being aware of this will save you wasting a lot of time and money on stuff that doesn't work. And by heck, there's a lot of it out there.

Respectfully, I wouldn't consider this proof of anything.
it doesn't matter what you think in relation to what i do..and it certainly doesn't affect me one little bit..if you need proof of anything from anyone that means you still haven't sussed it out yet..or are you just trying to help others see the way
it really doesn't matter to most..but to some..it matters a lot..
if people want to believe in something..then so be it..that is entirely their own business..if someone wants to jump off a bridge then that is their decision..but is definitely a waste of precious time..as every person born comes into this world having defeated many many obstacles..and then..to throw it all away..for whatever reasons..is..just plain damn stupidity..
better life..independence..no debt..no worries..easier mind..clearer thinking..more rational decisions..better results..better life..
if someone is unable to make sense of it all..then..the only way to really understand is to look at what actually happened..and..once it is understood what has transpired..things begin to make sense
i don't read or post anywhere else on this site..why..simple..because i know that it is just a pure waste of that precious time..and..i don't really care what others say or do about trading..i am only interested in one thing..and one thing only..and that is to hold on to the money that i make..

I didn't suggest what I think would matter or affect you one little bit. In fact, my post wasn't adressed specifically towards you at all.
My question was simply if there was any proof that the riddle-makers in this thread actually held the answers themselves.
As for myself, I'm not really looking for anything, nor am I sure if I have (or want to) anything to show anyone else. What I know is that I have found answers to some of the questions I myself have asked and that they have helped me, but I'm not sure if it relates in any way to what's spoken of in this thread.
well..i know that one riddle maker does hold the answer for himself..and as regards proof..he couldn't care one little bit..as the only person he had to prove it to..was himself
some people ask questions looking for specific answers..in other words..they want to be shown how to make some easy money..
The Obvious has stated that the obvious is having a valid method..whist this is actually obvious..a valid method in itself will not allow one to hold on to the money that is made..most lose it back..and in a very short time compared to how long it took to make it..
so..maybe the obvious is not that obvious at all
well..if one had put their money into managed funds 5 years ago..it would be worth a good bit more now..but only if it is cashed in now!
we are back to good old Time again..how important that good old Time turns out to be..it is definitely proven that stock markets go up over time..just look at where we are now..but where will we be in 6 months time..or 9..or 12 even!
T = M
LR x AO = EM
i prefer the second one over the first..as the riddles have shown me how to understand what matters most..and not what others want me to think what matters most
the odds are such
if risk too much
then price be high
like pie in sky
for eyes to see
what really be
a clear mind must
be true and just
the golden rule
must be first tool
and one that's twice
take no advice
for most who try
the well runs dry
it ends in bliss
well..so Obvious
Low Risk x AO = Easy Money
Haven't worked out what AO is yet.
Just to clarify, it's LR times AO, right?
