    A "top 5 trader" posting on Elite? Take me now, Lord.

    this must be the reason why I'm not one of the top 5% traders. I asked myself what Luke Skywalker would do, and even Captain Adama. But I have never thought of Spock. I guess I'm not smart enough

    Can we move this thing to chit chat?

    If you think talent only accounts for 10% of being an NBA player, than you have never played sports my friend. That is laughable.

  4. you are happy because you are ignorant

    even if you are ignorant by choice, I can understand that

    basically, you don't worry or think about things you can't change

    well I can't do that

    you cannot put a dollar amount on happiness...

    most people consider me an optomistic person, however deep down in side is a bottomless pit full of anger and rage (grows deeper as I become more knowledgable of the society we live in)...

    i agree, anger makes you stronger and more focused... but it will also destroy your soul

    ignorance is bliss....

  9. well as I get older I am less angry

    and then things happen like 9/11 that gets me to start foaming at the mouth

    BTW I made nice profit of 9/11

    how could you not

    but at the same time if you inform yourself about it

    YOU'LL START FOAMING :D

    Chloride, aside from your little manifesto (which I happen to like), this is all self-indulgent crap. Show us how you're a top 5% trader. Any war stories or history to share? Any P/L to download? Anything at all other than your own laughable self-asssessment? Absolutely dead certain you were home on Friday night because you broke you leg. LOL
