Beau, how nice to meet again. Your first post was quite coherent, in good English, with punctuation, which is quite remarkable for you. Unfortunately, things slipped a bit after, but we all know why. Keep your shirt on sunshine. I have no issue with what you do. People were suggesting he become a trading coach and sell trading courses a.k.a snake oil, with some saying those who can't do, teach. You could at least have read the whole thread before having a beef with me. Cheers.
bowo ---- you have been replying to posts that were not directed to you and you have done it more than once in this thread itself. Is this a conscious tactic that you want to respond to posts that are not directed at you in a personal manner? Because I think it hurts you rather than helps you gain more customers. As a sidenote, just curious --- did you ever manage to get clients from among your ET contacts? If so, how many? Please share only if you are ok with it. And please note I am not attacking you or your trading prowess in this comment. So, please don't come after me attacking me
It's probably a fairly good suggestion for the OP as he'll know lots of lingo that will impress newbies, although I think it would be best as a part time/side business as opposed to attempting to gain his sole income from it.
It's pretty fucked up that some of you losers are suggesting this. "hey man you should become a con artist" "ya, go do it, would be cool, newbies will dig you" Sick stuff.
I have no problem with someone who can deliver genuine value. All too often that is not the case. When I first wanted to trade I asked on another forum about paying for a course. A senior member suggested I save my money and spend a fraction of it on books, and then start trading small. It was the best advice I have ever been given about trading in general. From that I formed my 50 buck rule. The average book on trading costs 50 bucks. If it can get your mind going (NOT blindly copy an idea) and you can put on a trade and get 50 bucks out of it, everything after is free. Thus, I can never understand why people complain about the cost of books.
Um, I don't see how that isn't an attack... but anyway, mods are the only ones who PM me. Occasionally you'll get deranged psychos claiming to have big bucks and how you know nothing. Quite common, and why I don't do journals anymore. There's nobody in my buds list that doesn't know how to trade so I don't market to them. On the part of my customers they go and come at the wrong time, just like a stock I'd like to have on my stock exchange would. But as far as snakeoil I don't like seeing that word because the notion that it differentiates the group of people mentioned here offends me because it's in such close proximity to an obvious troll OP. Daytrading is definitely an irregular thing for me, so even with him making out like his Economics degree would hold water to mine is why it's more than likely him that should be seeking advice since he's the one who wants to quit. If he knew what he was doing, he'd never quit, but when I see snakeoil followed after with no reply in the response I get testy because that word should not come to mind if there is legitimate business effort going on somehow for him to suddenly promote himself as being a "guru" guru to me has more flavor for somebody that tries to educate with what should be and what was. What is clear here is that maybe it's been a long time since I read this thread completely through but I'm getting testy that there's no professional guidance to seek help. I don't see where a talk about economics and a degree of such makes the same range of notional probabilistic scale to income as what's offered by me, personally. I know it wasn't directed at me but the topic isn't about him becoming some guru for Christ's sake the guy wants to quit! Now I had 119% in 12, and -9% in 13, but I'm up over 30% this month so I don't really care to commentate on some of the swings I've had in my subscriber count because you can pretty much only count on a very limited number of people who are actually capitalized well enough to be able to actually trade my strategies. The issue I've had mostly in here is that you can't ever quit daytrading. It's not possible because some part of the psyche will always be there for me and I'm sure for the OP but he's not at all qualified just from a self-esteem issue as a trader from ever being on a C2, covestor, or worldcup. If he's quiting, it's time for him to hand it to somebody else, because the market's going to keep going up for a very long time.
