Does anyone here use more esoteric trading strategies like Astrology or psychics?

  1. The bottom line to all of that...is he's basically an Educator, teacher, academic on trading.
    And old dinosaur Pit traders aren't traders. They are more of basic order processors, and maybe scalpers/arbitragers.

    A market trader, in the truest sense, is someone who is able to grow his own personal account into a much larger, huge, sum.

  3. I have no idea what that $3525 Market Trader Titanium program is....but I am fairly certain...96.4% sure it's complete nonsense and bs.

    All those guys who sell really expensive programs, courses and subscriptions...should have their foot or hand chopped off by a vigilante hero.
    Crooks left and right.

    Just to be clear I’m not promoting Larry or any of his trading methods. I studied his stuff back in the 90’s and to be honest It wasn’t for me.

    the book I recommended has nothing today with him or his trading style or systems and has everything to do with the mental part of the business. How one thinks is a big obstacle towards success.

    If the system required me to be in exactly in an 80 degree ocean, on the 8th day of the month, for 80 minutes. Because 8 sideways is the infinity sign indicating infinite profits, and 0 is a super special number.

    AND then I can write off the expenses as "trading system requirements".

    No, I don't use such things, but the temtation is really strong.
    I know that there were such stories with the investors who bought some shares because of their tickers. That was something like if the ticker starts with the letter N and there are four letters, then this share will definetely grow. Such stories are quite common because of the fact that people like superstitions and trading is a kind of business where people are extremely nervous and they are ready to do anything in order to improve their results.
    Surely, such strategies don't work and they are unable to bring you any sustainable consistent profits. If you talk about astrology, it is too complicated. Why don't you just flip the coin and make trading decisions accordingly?

  9. You will be surprised. I can't 100% prove that psychic abilities work to someone who is a skeptic since there is no way to quantify it. But from my experience, I have seen enough to feel there is a degree of correlation more than just sheer luck.
