Confessions of a successful trader

The profitable trader has a mind like a jedi and unprofitable trader has the mind of a roger roger droid. The jedi-like traders all know who they are, the roger roger droids are everyone else

 

profitable jedi-like traders shall be humbled in time

 

one does not attain jedi status w/o already being humble and being humbled again on a regular basis

 

Yeah, and if they are ever in doubt, they could just check their p/l too huh?

 

You are wise, but roger roger droids are not, they feel as if they are jedi in training, or jedi w/bad luck. They refuse to let a negative PnL get in the way of their rosy optimism.

 

He wonders whether or not you intend to reconcile the implied contradiction you have presented.

 

The difference lies b/t what some think/feel and what others know.

 

The truth is no one will ever really know if he is a real trader or not. Even an account statement could simple be from a sim account.

I'm not going to judge. I will say probably 5% or less of the people on ET trade for a living, and less than that make it known to the public.

Louis, are you a swing trader or day trader?

One way to confirm if he is a real trader if for him to make live market calls during the trading day posting entry and exit prices along with the time. The time he claims he made the trade should correspond to the time he made the post, as all posts are time stamped

If he is for real, he wont mind doing this, for he has already made the claim he is successfull and many here dout his creditability.

I mainly day trade. I did make some live calls during a painful drawdown, so i decided not to mix trading and posting on ET

 

Would you say "no" if I made a request on the behalf of everyone else on this thread to put down the critics and show them that you can really trade?
