Well.. he needs to stop pretending like he knows everything and everyone else is an idiot.... I can tell the difference between constructive criticism and unnecessary/excessive criticism to feed the ego so I won't take too much of his bs. I got an ego myself so I am not just gonna stand aside and let him throw insults as he pleases whether he's got a point or not...
That brick photo...made me think of the Dim Mak brick breaking scene in Bloodsport 1988 movie, "Bottom one." But in all seriousness, Making Money by Trading...is not easy. there is no guarantee. very few will win, or succeed. Trading is not like doing a normal job, and expecting to get paid for your services; you need a combination of unique traits and skills and experience and wisdom and maybe luck....to pull it all off. No One will give you a profitable answer or method -- so don't go looking for it. If someone does...it's most likely just theoretical bs...that's wishy washy or just gambley/useless in real life.
Trading usually humbles the biggest egos. If you are ready to throw in the towel then consider other sorts of trading. For instance piggy backing on Zulu or Collective2.
Actually, I just started real trading a week ago /w a mini-account so it's too early still to make rash decisions rather then just seeing it as a hard lesson. Now, I know some might recommend paper trading. I've done that already and managed to build up my bankrolls every time. Real trading with a small account as I got to learn is vastly different & more difficult than trading a fictional amount of cash with no emotions attached.
You are so new at this, you cant tell right from wrong yet. In my opinion, ask questions, lower your head and listen, instead of bitching.
Everyone walks a different life and have experiences that make up who they are. You may have more experience than me in the stock market but doesn't mean you've more experience than me in other areas of life. Not every person who is new (at anything) is gonna lower his head, listen and let others run them over. If you came over to the poker forums on 2+2 and I constantly called you a noob/donk and criticized everything you did after you just blew your BR I don't think you would be able to handle it very well either. It's a matter of etiquette, that shouldn't have anything to do whether I am new on here or not.
"K-Pia" gave you outstanding advise, spent much more time with you than I would have and yet cause you not even experienced years of hardships cause by lack of knowledge in trading, you view advise as negative and then you respond with insults. You have so little experience, you can't understand basic principles of trading, chart reading, unless you know what to look to show when NOT to take setups, many of your trades might have been instead of just sitting on your hands. You want to day trade? you have to sim trade and be profitable 18 of 20 days, and if you can do this and you still lose, then you have to take care of between your ears. When you back test, did you programmed it so as to have 3,000 sample size? Unless you backtest many sample size, you are betting on the red/black at a casino. Men often do this, take the easiest path, then spend next several years trying to fix and re-fix and re-fix and re-fix till they throw up their hands and do it the right way that they knew in beginning that was the right way but took longer at the time. Since fees are too much and since you seem to lack knowledge and chase the markets, since you look for high percent trades mean you will eventually lose all of it. Get a very good chart book like Edwards and MaGee When you have charting memorized when not to enter and how to risk and when to take a trade for longer term trading, then you are ready. Forget about doing homerun trades, one good stock can go to the moon and other five will wipe you out.
Even if his advice was constructive it's obvious his words are meant out of disrespect and insult. Don't give me that nonsense that he had completely positive intent and I was just being an ignorant for not taking his advice. Just read his last statement... You've to be very dense to not recognize that as an insult. What exactly am I doing wrong here by throwing insults back at him? "What you give is what you get back!" That is what 99.9% of the population would do when faced with unwanted criticism and insults. I don't know why your trying to make it like I am the narrow-minded person who cannot take advice. It's more like you don't realize how insultive he is being because your either too dense or it's not being directed at you so you don't care!
Gotta grow a thick skin like a crocodile if you want to go on the web and exchange blow for blow. But it's fun. Wind them up some, why not if that makes your day.
