Oh Magnificent One, you cannot imagine how much easier it now is to w o r k and L E A R N @ ET. Sheer sybaritic pleasure This experience is similar to when I was gung-ho nailing the spanish language thru' 3-4 hrs/day intensive classes at various locations in Latin America - most of the time I was placed correctly, in small classes of no more than 4 students - but this one time at a phoney copy of Guadalajara University, I was stuck with 25 dumbasses in the same class. Within a day I noo that 3 months would be sheer torture - problem was I had already paid the entire tuition and there were no refunds. So, the following day on a whim I went to the director's ofice and flat out told him, I want to use all my funds for one-one-instruction instead of the 25-per-class deal. He hesitated but saw my determination and agreed. I was given 2 teachers, total 4h/day and the equivalent fund worked out to about 2 weeks. I finished the entire fckin course in 8 days. Then used the remaining hours for power-conversation with focus on precise grammar Same methodology, well sort of, applied here at ET. Works beautifully. The end result back then was real-life demonstrable fluency in Spanish - conversing with anyone anywhere anytime regardless of their education level; reading any newspaper with relative ease. The end result here at ET will be millions in real-time realmoney trading?

If any newbies and/or Retaildaytrader stumble/s in here, observe this significant ++++ve feature about ET for yourselves ... In the trading forum Retaildaytrader has a thread in which he launched an attack+lie against an ex-mod. This was observed by another mod and RDT was warned and things continued without incident. I'm bringing this up because RDT ought to know that there is a super large BRIT run board (99.9% Brit with only a few americans) in Thailand that is run like a Nazi camp - freedom is not only limited, its in a narrow band. Any sort of foul language or arguments are not tolerated but here's the kicker ... any "moderation" issues discussed in open forum and the axe chops heads off instantly = banned. Now review the same at ET, not just in the one mentioned thread, rather in so many .... the clear conclusion is that ET members have it real good, in fact no other board appears to come even a distant 2nd in this regard. And everyone knows how important FREEDOM is.
Thus far THE LIST contains 250 people. But only 37 are true criminals. Don't know the total # of ET members or the # of active posters on a monthly basis ..... but thus far this board is proving to be no different than real life in that most folk are decent and helpful, but the criminals by their sheer frequent activity tend to subliminally plant the idea that ALL is bad, useless, has no future ad infinitum. If there are any more additions to the LIST it does appear that it will be an infrequent trickle. Overall conclusion: ET is a wonderful board. I'm very satisfied. Peace to all.
Q.E.D. post activity from 0.000000001/day .... to infinity/day = all unsuccessful traders = all in the same boat = all trading losers. This includes YOU. The ultra-important question is .... Who or how many will graduate from here as successful and therefore by definition NEVER COME BACK?
Ongoing observation that the only experienced, successful traders at ET are sponsors, which by definition means they have a license to hunt for prey. I don't have a problem with this. Will non-sponsors, truly experienced and successful traders come to ET? If they did show up it would be for benevolent reasons and during a visit because by definition nobody hangs out at their High School after graduation, unless they want to become a teacher (= industry loser generally). So an easy elimination process of alleged successful traders is that "they stick around and continue to post" (moderators and Ivan not included in the above analysis)
Your antediluvian, perspicacious elders aka predecessors, Fu Man Chu and Fat Fong say-d .... Market = ET from a sentiment standpoint w.r.t the HERD. Therefore time here is well spent = establish what the idiots are saying and doing collectively operating as ONE CLUSTER devoid of individual thought - then when it builds to a crescendo, DO THE OPPOSITE. For this exercise ET is the ultimate Market barometer, especially NOW that I know the retards and posers by smell and name. It could never be better than this. This is as good as it gets. Another perspective .... All the schools I studied at required attendance in class for lectures, classes and tutorials - then came homework (=offline) and then the cycle repeats daily. After graduation one absconds with the treasures (= trading skills), usually NEVER to return except for one-day festivals usually once per decade. As you can clearly see ALL here at ET who claim to be experienced traders are in direct violation of this primal axiom and are therefore posers = in line with this thread = easier detective work than I've done thus far ... but hey my method improves constantly over time. Ditto for my presence at ET. I'm a student = beginner = newbie = I belong here till I graduate. Same conclusion .. time well spent.
