Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Quote from DrEvil:

It's unrealistic to expect to never lose. The best you can do in this regards is to be a great loser and not give much away when your position is not correct.

So did the guy ever tell us the obvious answer? This was one of the most annoying threads I've ever read on ET.

Even more annoying was the fact that he would end all of his sentences with an exclamation point ! ! ! Felt like bashing his head in with a rock.
 
Quote from stopnlimits:

The most obvious thing is that most people will lose money. Many newbies fail to understand this fact.

you can blame on the 3rd party educational vendors and books for promoting "get rich quick"

The obvious path to become a successful trader is to join the house (HFT firms, prop firms, brokerages, and banks)if one knows how to play workplace politics.

The obvious not so obvious is small traders pursued to self learn on how to trade by subcribing 3rd party educational vendors and read books WILL lose. They are doomed!

Sinse the thread was started under ''trade management'' section,the obvious answer should be,that you should make a little bit more than you lose.And don`t forget that when you are trading - you are gambling.
 
And that is what is all about.


Quote from jnbadger:

Well, in context of that example, it would have to be a setup I rarely see, which I am willing to bet big money on, because I've seen it work so many times before.

But that goes against our unstated agreement that stated probabilities are not always applicable.

Or does it?

I have to admit, you have me thinking in ways I'm not used to.

This is fun.

the first real step to progression is the ability to differentiate between what is real and what is not real. for most this awareness will never happen and the reason why it will never happen is entirely down to the individual's self expression.

for those in the know the obvious is very obvious. for those who do not know the obvious is not so obvious.

how do you know if you are a good trader?

easy

check your bank account

why is the obvious not so obvious?
 
Why is the obvious not so obvious?

Why is the obscure not so obscure?

Why are my stocks the only ones going down in a rising market?

Why me?
