Why is trading so difficult?

but again the conversation veers form the topic

if traders lose everything that's because they never ever learn how to trade or maybe got sick

and this conversation is not even about traders its about wannabe traders - people who try to figure out how to play the game

and they never figure out

when they do , then they can teach the monkey how to be a trader (that's why I skeptical about all those teachers who never are able to produce a viable trader - they never became the traders themselves), but you can not teach monkey to be a poker player :)
 
What if a good setup comes infrequently. Good means the only way ONE can make money.
It is nonsense to bet very large each time it appears because IT can lose multiple times in a row. You cant be a trader under these conditions. So find a frequent, mediocre setup and bring ONES flaws to the table see what happens. Now I am a trader who does not make money.
This is just me of course.
 
A good setup which comes infrequently, then it has to be something you are sure of, so therefore you must bet large. Nothing wrong in that but your backtesting or experience has to have proven that such a setup has a high reward to risk profile.
Edit: a large bet should not probably be bigger than maybe 5 to 10% of capital.
Also, it would not want to be a speculative type share.
Edit again: Currently I'm holding (scaled in) one position of 14% of trading capital, up +30% atm

Technical analysis is garbage. Why do you continue using something that doesn’t work?

You say, "TA is garbage... why use something that doesn't work?"

I say, "Price TA" is the very best way to trade the market!

So.... one of us is FULL OF SHIT! (I've made $Millions. Have you made $Millions?)

Please.... tell us how you trade the markets if not with TA.

(You've run your mouth and put yourself on the spot. You need to come with something strong now... or risk having to change your name to "Stupid Bobby" or "Head Up My Ass Bobby".)

The ball is in your court.

OK... I'll let you off the hook. All you have to do is admit you really don't understand TA and apologize for running your mouth. We will all understand.
