Why trading educators talk about entries 95% of the time?

[virtusa]

I would imagine and can't know for sure. but even the best traders on the planet
if you talked about entries only, long term are never going to be better than maybe
53% if they entered, place oco order, target equal to risk and walked away.

This kind of postings have no value at all and are just a personal opinion without ANY proof at all. You wrote clearly"I would imagine...", so it is all in your imagination, has nothing to see with reality.
For reality and hard proof, you need:

• a list with names and track records of hundreds of "best traders". Hundreds because it should be statistically relevant.
• you should have a written declaration with all details for each trader that clearly shows if he fits in your statement or not. They might even lie so even then you have no hard proof.

You have neither, so it is like you said just your imagination.

I can post the following and it would have the same value as your posting:
"I would imagine and can't know for sure. but even the best traders on the planet
if you talked about entries only, long term are always going to be better than maybe
99% if they entered, place oco order, target equal to risk and walked away."

• If good entries would matter, you can probably find examples that show that this is not correct.
  
• If good exits would matter, you can probably find examples that show that this is not correct.
  
• If good entries and good exits would matter, you can never find examples that show that that is not correct. Because the combination good entries and good exits cannot be beaten.

PS: Good means the best possible. You can never beat the best possible as that would mean it was not the best possible.

The fact that they are not successful is because they don't have the skills they need.

virtusa,

Very nicely stated. Great post you wrote.

Your post has no value either, it just states that my post has no value. It doesn't disprove
my post.

Let me ask you a very logical question, if the vast majority of volume is done by
institutional traders that hire phd's, statisticians, engineers, data scientists and
they are in every market all day every day, fully automated.

What makes you believe there is a large edge to be had in the market?

My statement of small edge is all you get, is waaaay more logical than your stupid ass
post.

Lets see your stats, put up or shut up and get off my thread.

Boom, in your face.

So you agree that your posting has zero value. Why post it then? Or do you only now realize how stupid the posting was?
There is nothing to approve in your stupid posting without any value.
The way you react shows it was rather boom in your face.

Why ask a question if you already made up your mind on the answer?

Well, its a discussion forum so maybe someone can enlighten me.

Apparently you only want to discuss if people agree with you. That is not discuss, that's just being a "yes man".That blocks any enlightening.
You will stay as stupid/smart as you were born. There is no room for improvement.
I will go now, there is no reason to stay here anymore.
