A non-trader, hands-down. Because if you have no skin in the game, you have ZERO RIGHT TO COMMENT on the plight people who actually trade face. You think I am a terrible trader, that is fine. But at least my balls are to the wall. I would never claim ANYONE to be a terrible trader if I did not have real money in the market, because I would have no validity. That would be armchair QB stuff. If you are a terrible trader, like me, then hell yeah, I would be your best friend, because at least you are really trading! If you are just a non-trader spewing shit? I'd want you out of the discussion, because your input would be invalid, because you never actually traded. For real. I'd rather speak with losing real traders than winning sim traders.
hm... I don't think it's possible for a sim trader to give the kind of insight I have been giving, on psychology, sentiment, pro boy manipulation, economic background, path of least resistance to financial freedom etc.
Really. Take it from a real AND sim trader... Your insights do not serve us well. So you are admitting you are a non-trader. This validates @destriero insights about you. *clucks*
There are other places where you can get tons of trading ideas and what they use on their charts to trade or view the market and if you google it hard enough you will find those websites. That's where I got ideas and improving my trading skills. I read tons of trading magazine before and received no benefits at all. That was just me.
magazines, or any 'published' sites for that matter, all tend to 'bloggerize', i.e. writing stuff for the sake of writing stuff..... you get the sense that a lot of times they are just making shit up.
