i agree - don't waste your time studying the wisdom of those who have succeeded and taken the time to share their experience..complete mistake.
Again that's linear thinking. You don't actually know factually how some of those people were successful and some of them may not even be aware of why they were successful themselves. All it takes is one of those ingredients to be missing (and one could just be an X factor, something that can't be teached) and everything you've learned from them, even if you do it correctly could still turn out to where you won't be profitable. Now if you have a mentor working directly with you, that's different and I would completely agree with you(even then the same problem can arise)
Hey, you're the one that made a smart ass comment. I am sure there's information you can learn from them, but your comment implies that you take what you said, more seriously than what I said. I'll take watching someone trading live for over a years worth of sessions more seriously, than you telling me to go read a book or buy a product by a market legend any day. If your opinion differs, that is fine.
i won't go down the rabbit hole and watch you sacrifice your life for b1, all i will say is that the successful live traders i've met, and they are from, schonfeld, first new york, guggenheim to name a few...gave me a list of books...and i'm never in a million years going to be like those guys...but wtf do i know.
I take it you didn't see my other comment? I already stated that if it is true that B1 has been saying the same things since the highs and hasn't posted PnL to clear things up that what he is doing is indeed working, than I stand corrected regarding him. That doesn't change the fact of the other trader that I have witnessed live trade a similar style with amazing results. Not sure how I can be more clear.
This is such a waste of time and I apologize for my part in starting something like this. It isn't even worth my time or likely anyone else's. Have a great evening all.
