Quote from Zr1Trader:

Kensho, you're on year 5 of trading right?

Takes 5+years to become a surgeon.

I'd say you might just be at graduation? Why give up now?

Thats like getting a masters and then going to be a garbage man.

What a waste of time and money.

I know some people who did trading/investing for over 20 years, and still have no clue about trading.

If you don't want to trade, quit NOW. You save yourself a lot of money and headache.

Simply doing this for 5 years doesn't mean you will succeed. Yes, this business takes time, spending time is necessary, but time alone is not sufficient. There are other factors involved.

I suggest you quit NOW. Forget trading, It's a nightmare, treat it as it is, nothing but a nightmare.

The sooner you wake up, the better.

I will be a firefighter.

Quote from blowingup2012:

Its not hard to find the gurus real home address and then find a picture of that home using Google Streetview. If they are really that good at trading then I think we would see some impressive digs, but I think you will find something more humble most of the time.

As usual, wrong ass u mption in ET

Do you know this man? He can easily buy, sell and burn every individual trader who ever registered in the whole history of this entire website since day one launched, all combined.

He resides in a converted double-wide mobile home to this very day.

Quote from Lights:

They start subscription based E-mini and stock advice websites with colorful charts on market direction and hundreds pay for it and lose $.

Is that the type of colorful you mean? The unfamiliar shade to all of the grumbling losers here would be what we call "green"

Anyone who decides to figure out how it's really done and works hard enough to make that happen, can damn sure do it themselves.

Wow that's a shame for them...

I guess I know of people who have been playing slot machines at the casino for 20+ years . entertainment is the value they seek, the same for traders who have lost for years yet kept going .

Guys here like Lescor and RedInk and others have openly stated they struggled for years and years before finally putting all the pieces together for themselves. Whereupon they made six and/or seven figures yearly afterwards.

There is zero shame in trying this profession and moving on to something else if it doesn't suit. The world is full of many other noble professions besides the j.o.b. of trading.

But for those who haven't created their own success yet and still strive to, the results you seek are possible. Others have struggled long & hard before you that inevitably found success, and others will to come.

Can I ask why someone who has supposedly been trading profitably for over a decade, is trading all of five e-mini contracts?

Not to mention running a fee-based room and education service.
