I recently read a thread over a BMT-- a guy was asking if there was any proof of small at-home daytraders who grew their account into something...
In my opinion--- NO. Even if you can get into the 1% who are profitable, you will have to make a LOT of money to compensate yourself for all...
Sadly, indextrader7 only serves to prove Surf's points. He seems like a nice guy, well intentioned and very hard working, but thusfar trading has...
For all the time and effort it must take to become profitable, and all the work and stress that must go along with staying profitable--- it's hard...
Agree, let's give it some more time to see how it plays out. A few weeks of breakeven trading is nothing to worry about. The "educators" and...
Cornix can still beat the 20% figure--- he must be a little below breakeven at this point. Hardly an insurmountable hole to dig out of in the...
Exactly. That is the conclusion I had come to after clearing my head of all the hype and misinformation that exists around trading.
Going by the account shown on Surf's journal he was on pace for 40% in a year. I hope he can make it happen!
Perhaps the reason why Cornix is dreaming is that he is being fed lies by his TA comrades--- it's quite possible that he believes the claims of TA...
Saw this news story today and made me think of this thread. LOL! "Man admits electrocuted alien story was a hoax"...
Agreed, many things thought impossible in the past have been proven very possible. Perhaps one day someone will succeed in achieving the kind...
I think boundaries are there, not strictly defined but still there. For example, a human can train as a runner but there are still boundaries to...
My problem isn't with TA necessarily, but rather the grossly inaccurate portrayals of what is possible with it that abound on the internet. I do...
Yes, I agree. Sure there will be outlier performances from time to time, but those kind of returns are not sustainable. An average 20%...
I don't know how anyone can still buy this guy and his TA tales--- just goes to show how desperate some are to believe. Amazing how he kept...
So far no claims of stratospheric returns or no losing days-- looks legit so far and nothing yet to trip the BS-o-meter. He acknowledges there...
LOL :D
I don't think it's too much for Surf to ask that posters in his journal refrain from mentioning/advertising their services on the surf report....
If I had to guess, i would say the concerns here stem from a case of guilt by association--- referring in this case to the 'TA Expurt' who has...
So far no TopStep success stories of the caliber you are looking for. They reportedly do have some profitable traders--- but none yet in the six...
