It's great to be a new member. I'm already spending much more time than I should be reading elite trader!

For traders who have become profitable -are there ever any feelings of guilt for how much money we are making? It comes off as odd for me that we have such good incomes just by adding liquidity to leveraged markets that are bigger than anything real in this world.

I don't mean to be provoking -just proposing this thought. Peace

I want to bring down the total population on Earth for sake of our beautiful planet.

Then ill build a space travel program, possibly to live on moon or etc.

Then a space travel machine, that allow us to travel at speed of light, to the other Earth-like planet in a far far away galaxy. Anyway it was discovered that we can live there, similar to Earth with trees and seas.

Finally I build a time travel machine, for ppl to move around in time. 4th dimension thingy

Before that I need about 100 trillions.

Because my conscience bothers me, I deliberately cut my winners short. I take only enough each day from Bitch Market to pay my booze bill.

No.

Traders don't have feelings

If you ever feel guilty, just take a walk outside or turn on the TV and see how other people treat each other. It will make you want to take even more of their money.

Markets being an extension of a natural ecosystem and the evolutionary processes contained therein, it would be unnatural to feel guilt, or anything similar.
