http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/best-european-countries-to-trade-from.288687/page-5 lol Perhaps ask also his previous nicknames on ET in the last 10 years before the current one!
Mr. N doesn't destroy anything at all. His postings is not adressed to me and even posted in the wrong thread as he tells himself. His general problems apply maybe to many people but not to me. There are problems with every kind of trading, it depends of the trader if and how he can solve these problems. Problem 1: I never listen to others and make my own analysis, so does not apply to me. My profit per trade is big enough to reduce costs below 10% of my profits. Costs don't kill me at all. So does not apply to me. Problem 2: does not apply to me. I keep my positions almost always for hours, which is not very short term. So does not apply to me. Problem 3: volume in ES is always big enough to open or close my position. What he read in ET cannot be from me because I don't post entries or exits. I trade when markets are open, I am not interested in following other's signals and see if they can get a fill or not. Only people who don't trade have time for this. So does not apply to me. Problem 4: I am not interested in LT. So does not apply to me. Problem 5: I still survive, have NO debts at all and eat and drink every day. I even have a car that was paid cash. So does not apply to me. Problem 6: I NEVER followed any seminar, Never used any existing indicator. I spend ten thousands of hours in studying. Still stuy every day. So does not apply to me. Problem 7: I don't care what others think about my "career". So does not apply to me. Problem 8: First account was 50K, actual size is..... and trade already over 20 years. So no washout. So does not apply to me. Problem 9: I never took or will NEVER take any trading advice. Good advice is never shared but kept secret. So does not apply to me. Problem 10: I don't over estimate myself. Every trade is a reality check that shows if I am good or not. Sometimes I do stupid things but never with real big damage. So does not apply to me. In short not a single of these problems apply to me. What can he destroy? On top of that he does not know me, doesn't know how I trade, doesn't know how much I trade, doesn't know my track record, doesn't know my education, doesn't know my intelligence. IN FACT HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING. AS YOU. If you start to play the man and not the ball, it means you are in a very weak position and have no way out. Same remark for Oddtrader. I still wait for your answer on this posting, but that might be too difficult for you: Don't agree, I started to win because my knowledge improved. I am profitable for over 10 years now. Markets did not stay the same during this period. If it has nothing to do with me, it would mean that the market gave me over 10 years of profit now????? In most cases the markets TAKE profits from traders and present them losses.
That posting was a reaction to an aggressive posting from myself. I apologized to Ditch. I cannot say more because I respect Ditch's privacy. I could show PM's to proof you are completely wrong, but I will not because PM's are PM's and I respect other people's privacy, especially with PM's. And actually I don't care about what you write. I suggest you try to find a posting where I tell that I live or go to Monaco, that I have a private plane. I do however have Price Waterhouse as my consultant/lawyer, which I would not need if I would make losses. About the nicknames. I had in total, including this one, 2 nicknames the last +10 years on ET.
75% is not good enough, honestly; although you can still make money if you combine with a lot of other things: context reading, support/resistant levels calculation, O/N H,L points, SLA, different TF comparing, mental/psychological adjustment, money management, discipline and so on and so forth.
These statements are only a small part of my systems. I combine them with other things, I wrote this already many times on ET in different threads. I wrote als MORE than 75% but don't want to give exact figures anymore. Even with 75% i wake up all the bashers already...
Yes. It is true. If you claim 90-95% of probability of winning, then there would be much more attackers from all directions.
It's not about attacking the poster, it's about being able or unable to justify a claim. When I say I am rubbish and expect a win rate of 0.3 I can back it with real time calls, it's as simple as that.
Ok-- its hard to argue with an anonymous poster. Maybe you are an exceptional trader, you really haven't said anything to make me think you are not-- unlike many here-- there own words give them away. surf
