Quote from Mike805:
Man, there is just no way to get through that attitude of yours is there? I never called you a loser pal. You keep calling yourself one, you seem to have been doing it so long I think you actually believe it at this point.
Do you see the irony in your past statement wrt MP? You are critizing a method that sets the framework for my trading while you yourself do not trade successfully.
At this point, I give up.
Please don't give up mike.. Never Give Up.
When I refer to myself as LOSER, I am referring to the charateristic FUTURES trader. I can do it because I have ENOUGH (a little too much at times) CONFIDENCE in myself and my trading prowress that it doesn't affect me.
But, I applaud you for sticking up for the poster here. Where I told him, it would be better for him to QUIT, that he can WIN by QUITTING, you say there is a WINNING method, and there is a way to WIN when you full well know that 95% of the time, he or someone else will not find it.
Mike, let him get on with his LIFE. Good God.

Yeah, definitely read my above post, and realize your on a track to a head on collision with another train.
I've seen this on ET, I've studied it, I've done hours of research to try and understand it. It would be very wise to seek help, maybe some people on ET can help you if you seek it, or couselors, family....
Got to man-up and accept that you suffer from something that is difficult to break.

Cheese,
Since you, too, have used the term addiction, I pose the question to you as well: Are all thus-far-unsucessful traders who tenaciously persevere addicts by default?
What do you think it is that makes you (I ask this in all seriousness) so innately "suited to the art of taking money out of the markets as a professional activity?" Are you exceptionally smart? Disciplined? Confident? Risk-conscious/averse/loving? Do you feel you're either born to trade or not, and if you don't make it right away, you're a sado-massochistic addict?
Quote from Cheese:
Well Oddtrader do you read every such awful and unnecessary mess with pleasure? I don't. Its an addiction. It is also a question of the culprits facing up to the self damage & presumably damage to their families of such irresponsibility when clearly so many are not suited to the art of taking money out of the markets as a professional activity.

best advice i can offer since u couldn't do it alone is to join a prop firm, put down 5k and get 1-to-1 mentorship...u'll be on a sim for months and then will start small under supervision...haircut, low commish, office environment and mentorship will give u enormous advantage over retails...this is the best chance u got imo, take it or leave the biz.

Ripley, you are right. I sincerely do not want to give false hope to those struggling and failing. Unfortunately, trading can be addictive and destructive to individuals and their families. I now see where you are coming from.
The name of the thread does say it all: Desperation.
