Hmm you re attempting to divert attention away from the subject at hand. This forum has gone to shit over the years...
you accused him of being a liar. I said he wasn’t and that he was so honest about things that others could learn from him. And what’s the purpose of your righteous remark at the end when you have only contributed 200 posts and the last two actually diverted from the point of the OP’s post.
I wouldn't bet on it....or invest any funds with him. The odds are that he's just mean reverting for a bit. Bezos, Musk, et. al. aren't traders and are such outliers that it's an apples and orange comparison.
7/30/2021 +$669 Was waiting for NG's fall for over a week and yesterday I was scared it may not move as I expected so I decided to exit my positions and just go in again during market open hours. NG started the day much lower and I couldn't capitalize on the massive overnight drop. Sigh.. I guess I should be happy I didn't have a losing day but it is very disappointing.
@MKTrader did you have a day job that allowed you to day trade? DURING COLLEGE WORKED PART TIME JOBS. USED SOME OF LEFTOVER SCHOOL LOANS TO FUND MYSELF Or were you a trust fund kid? NOPE Or lived like a pauper on gov't assistance while trading? PAUPER, YES. GOVT ASSISTANCE, NO. WORKED LIKE A SLAVE FOR MULTIPLE YEARS @Overnight You have been trading NG futures 11 years, and are finally profitable trading them. Now you wish to switch to stocks? How does that work? TRADED STOCKS. FUTURES ONLY LAST 3(?) YEARS. SWITCHED TO FUTURES BECAUSE I HAD LESS THAN $25000 AND WANTED TO AVOID PDT RULES. ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF ILL GO BACK TO STOCKS ONCE I REACH OVER $25000 AND IT TOOK ME OVER 3 YEARS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. AND YES, JOURNALING ISN'T MY SPECIALTY. @virtusa THANKS, I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT. @greejan IM SO FAR FROM BEING OVERCONFIDENT. JUST HOPING TO KEEP A STEADY RECORD THIS TIME INSTEAD OF GETTING BLOWN UP AFTER A MONTH OR TWO AGAIN. @newwurldmn WAS HOPING NO ONE REMEMBERS ME SO I GET A CLEAN SLATE TO WORK OFF OF. DON'T MENTION THE PREVIOUS ONES TOO MUCH. commissions shouldn’t be a reason to switch asset classes. I ALWAYS PLANNED TO GO BACK TO STOCKS. FUTURES IS TOO HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD EVEN FOR ME, AND I SEE MYSELF AS COMFORTABLE WITH HIGH RISK. FYI I POST THE SAME INFO ON A DIFFERENT TRADING SITE TO GET MORE FEEDBACK AND GOT ZERO RESPONSES THERE. IM SURPRISED AT THE MANY NOTIFICATIONS I GOT, SO THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION! I WOULD JUST APPRECIATE IF WE TRY OUR BEST NOT TO ARGUE WITH EACH OTHER AND KEEP THE MOOD POSITIVE. IT WILL HELP WITH THE PAGES NOT HAVING TO GO TO NUMBER 20,30 AND WHEN I LOOK THROUGH IT HALF OF IT IS PEOPLE JUST RANTING/ARGUING; TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING OFF TOPIC. I THINK A POSITIVE MOOD WILL ALSO HELP WITH NEWER PEOPLE ASKING QUESTIONS THEY ARE CURIOUS ABOUT. ILL TRY TO GET BACK TO EVERYONE THAT GIVES ME A QUESTION BUT IF THE WORK GETS TO BE TOO MUCH, IT'LL BE HARD TO GET BACK TO YOU. (I TALK FROM EXPERIENCE) AND I KNOW BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE MY PAST DECISIONS WERE NOT SMART. IM THE ONE THAT LIVED THROUGH THE CONSEQUENCES, NOT YOU. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A POSITIVE THING TO SAY, I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU DON'T SAY IT AT ALL. HOWEVER, ADVICE ON HOW I COULD TRADE BETTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED
Because he wouldn't be considered a trader, and that hurts the ego. He'd just become another Overnight asshole who realizes that there is no glory trying to bust your ass daytrading, when buying and holding works 5x better for 1/5th the work.
