Of course there are traders on this board who have an extensive education and make a tremendous amount of money.

Look up a guy named atticus, he's instutitional level who trades for himself.

There are also traders who, with no applicable college, or formal training, applied themselves and 2 or 3 years later broke a million.

The point of all this is:

Do you need a degree to succeed at this game?

Hell no.

Does a degreee make a difference if you never had what it took to succeed as a trader anyway?

Hell no.

Will most of the guys/girls who try their hand at this game really succeed at it (become self sustaining purely from their own trading) whether they have a college degree or not?

Hell no

But seriously ... whats with the smug?

Dude, you introduced yourself to this thread with misnomers of who was who (while my alias is obvious to those who know my writing style), you want to turn a discussion about the necessity of a college degree into a competition (yep, boys will be boys) and then you went to talk having someone teach you something.

You're the one with the website, LOL, I would think you would have plenty to say.

I was told so long as I kept it clean, I could stay.

So I try not to curse out the idiots like timbo anymore (though it's very, very tempting), and everything is cool.

What is your game plan if trading doesn't work out ?

It's under control.

I don't fail. Period.

Make fun of that if you want to. But if it's humanly possible and I want to do it, then I will.

I can tell deep things bother you.

So very insightful of you to offer your diagnosis Dr Timbo.

What a homo. LOL Clowns like you crack me up. You seriously just jump on the thread to troll. That's it. That's cool with me, trust me. I'm bored anyway.

Oh come on -- let it out.

I was wondering how many m's you would lose.

Funny the same thing was asked to me about my dream to be a classical dance artist.

That was my same reply, and I kept at it until I did ... and the obstacles I had to face were substantially greater than what a trader has to deal with.

Yeah, that's pretty much the level he's capable of operating on. He doesn't really appear to have a strong opinion of the topic matter either one way or the other.

He just wants some company, so lets crack a beer and crack some jokes.
