There are some really screwed up people that post an awful lot, and start a lot of threads on this site. This led me to study personality disorders, wikipedia is fine for that, they definitions are there and clear. I don't try to distance diagnose people but the general idea that there are a large and growing number of people out there with major brain and personality problems is a good thing to keep in mind. I researched the idea of factory farmed food vs brain nutrition loss and was really surprised. That is a big part of our problems nowadays.. I hit every supplement I can find that is for the brain and take a nootropic or three or four and really, it's one of the best things I ever did....

You have 411 posts to your name in two months.

At that pace, in three years, you will have 14,796 posts.

Keep doing that 'food research!' Maybe if you hit upon the right formula, your logic and math skills will improve!

G_d, I love this ad:

It's so appropriate for real traders. Real traders admit the inherent manic-depressive nature of the beast.

Posers try and deny it.

 

[CET]

Those people you see constantly posting are not traders but are posting in volume to help maintain interest in the site. It is clear that few of them actually trade or have ever attempted to trade. The Ignore feature works well.

Not necessarily true.


A TV show once tried the following-they sent a man out into a crowded public place with a sign around his neck saying "FREE MONEY TODAY".

How many of the public do you think approached the man and asked him for some of the "FREE MONEY"?

The General

The problem is, there are already thousands offering "Free Money Today" Smart people know it is 99.9% of the time it's a scam.

Try 'Gorilla Trades' or 'Vector Vest.'

They almost guarantee you'll make money.

They even have enough money to hire Davy Jones, that megastar and phenom, in their ads:

This board is purely entertainment, if you are searching for something other than that you are in the wrong place.

Unless you are a snake oil salesman searching for victims then it is useful for that too.

I concur! And, it's free...

SusanaDT-

I beg to differ with you.

When people post their thoughts it is usually in relation to their own experiences.

To post negative thoughts implies that the poster has had negative experiences-or-not successful at trading.

If people listen to such rubbish then they will also end up in the same boat.

Now-Ken is a small time trader by his own admission-and if he is not the real Ken-I can tell you now that the real Ken is even a smaller time trader.






His so called "Professional Trading Techniques" are nothing short of "Professional Marketing"-this is known to all of us that trade the markets for many years.

To think that an entry is good above / below an even number, at an arbitrary number of 30/35 cent-is nothing short of ridiculous. And then-add in slow stochastics-another fable-and this person shows that he knows absolutely nothing about trading.

Not to mention the famous 2 day x 2 min cup and handle formation-need I repeat myself.

Close your eyes and you will not see anything-open them and you have a chance of seeing great things.

You don't know me because I don't know anyone here. What I do know is you're an idiot if you think Susan's premise isn't valid, imo.

ZERO emotions are required to be successful. Everybody wants to quit their 6 figure jobs and trade ES but don't have a clue how to do it.

In all honestly, I would never trade based on anything I read here but there have been kernels and it is a diversion after all.

Should come with a warning.
