Trading is truly an inner journey, and by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. And once mastered, it gets boring believe it or not. After my mentor showed me his strategy, it still took me 3 years to understand why it worked structurally, how to make my own strategy, and how to have enough discipline and patience to repeat it on a consistent basis. All in all, there are much faster ways to earn 6 figures. I can trade 20-30 mins in the indexes and still easily pull out 6 figures. And if you don't believe me I don't really care. I'm more than willing to help anyone if they have questions about price structure, feel free to PM me, but when it comes to money and success, your motivation needs to come inward, rather than chasing somebody elses $ profits and their success. The greatest athletes aren't the greatest b/c their motivation was how much $ they could make. Find your motivations elsewhere, have iron discipline, and drive to succeed, and see yourself do well.
In his threads you will find some others who also share numbers. But, as always, you have to dig to find the gems.
The divorce rate is about 50%. And I wouldn't want to risk 50% losing 50% of my net worth to a possibly cheating woman who has been sleeping with another man/men while I am working.
One final comment to OP if you care to read, a post from sle, a real professional and a real deal: If you are looking for the second paragraph, you won't find it here and you will keep looking and will not be profitable. If you take paragraph one to heart and use it as a backbone to build your strategy, you will go far.
There are plenty of better ways for successful traders who aren't contractually bound from speaking to give back. Revealing alpha, teaching or persuading others to actually trade for a living is a very inefficient way to pay it forward. If you spend some time in proximity to success in the trading world you would understand. But i will forget the lack of incentive for a moment and ask you a serious question. What exactly makes you think that merely showing proof would help an aspiring trader in the least?
Couple of reasons, one understandable and one sad. The first is the beginner or journeyman who would like reinforcement that it can be done. The second is he or she who has failed and needs to believe that it can't be done or one who is afraid to try and wants to believe that it can't be done.
With your posting to reward "2017 performers from your own pocket"... then say, "when I get to being successful..." comes off as you being bitchy, demanding and high maintenance. Or is it just me?
