If it's such a simple question, why haven't you answered it genius? Just because people trade doesn't mean they are chopping away all day and scalping, some traders look for opportunities and don't need to sit at their screen all day. Others don't even need to do that because they are setting position trades for a longer period and do research and study chart patterns. You clearly have no idea what it's like to be a trader and what traders do so don't try to assume anything about any of us when you probably don't even own stocks. You just registered on here today and you insult the intelligence and aptitude of the traders here when you are still a shmuck kid in college. You wouldn't know a proper chart pattern if it face fucked you. So don't come on here with your pompus attitude and think you're better than anyone. Talk all your gibberish with your hack professors about theories and pyscholgies of economies and giving yourself handjobs at night and do everyone a favor and stop posting. your time is better spent watching porn and giving yourself rugburn. You offer no insight or intelligence on here, and lack any self thought. If you want to regurgitate that horeshit your teachers give you, grab a cup and hang around penn station and preach economics in front of dunkin donuts. Your aggression on here shows your immaturity and naievity. Maybe you should sign up for one of those reality shows like TOOL academy, or maybe a new one, college hacks. You're a moron, take it deep.
Oh, you must be one of those baboons that the previous poster was referring to. Can you please speak up a little louder because I can't hear you while you're banging your cage so loudly. And when you finally evolve and do things like grow thumbs and learn how to read, you can go back and read my original post and realize that I did answer the question. Its not my fault that you can't understand what you read. And nice try trying to pass yourself off as a trader -- although I guess technically the correct term would be trade monkey in your case. I don't think you're fooling too many people, but its entertaining to see you try. Make sure to reward yourself with a banana at some point before you go take your nap.
NYU 1) can you garauntee that the outcome of 500,000 consecutive trades over the course of many years will be a positive outcome?? when you are done answering that...print it and shove it up your professor's ass....good day
Do you even really go to NYU or is that as much horeshit as you being involved in equity markets? What makes you the expert? You come on here insulting people and babbling on about this and that because your professor let you get a mouthful of his nuts, but you know nothing about the markets, and even less knowledge about trading. So since you are resorting to such childish insults, you show even more how little you know and how naive you are. It's ok kiddo, dont worry. I'm sure your mommy will wipe your ass for you some more. But when you grow up and you want to actually think for yourself and get involved in things like trading, try contributing something real before being a douchebag.
Good point. So what keeps you going? Do you just ride your luck as long as it will go? What will be the sign the one should stop trading? I got 20% in my trading account for January and 28% on my IRA account for January. Is this luck? How do I know?
