when you each finish blowing each other off, smoke a cigarette and gargle too..... FYI, my young and stupid poster - anger is not the Source..... I would tell you what the source is but I am afraid you would not get it. Just a note, the most successful traders 1) not money oriented 2) not on ET to brag 3) way passed the age of 23
I disagree about giving away strategy part.... most traders will never figure out how to use a strategy properly even though it is given away for free. Discretionary trading strategies do not hold concrete rules therefore, giving it away does not mean the trader replicating will profit from it
Listen here you older SEMI-intelligent man if you are like me, of course you won't learn shit from my thread but i guarantee you there are people here reading my post and using it as a mental stepping stone. DID IT EVER occur to you, that some of us feel the need to express our feelings related to trading and how we got started you must be some kind of a machine OR you are so old that you don't remember your beginning. maybe you are from a wealthy family in which case YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I SPEAK OF
Ill revise it to say.... nice tome Although remember, as a wise philosopher named yoda once uttered.... "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering" Think a bit beyond spock. Perhaps data who is more evolved might think, but captain, if one were to make the maximum amount of money the way my internal AI algorithms are suggesting, wouldn't that be unethical to other humans? To which riker might interject, "...and possibly land you in the brig for several United Federation violations. Nobody said climbing to the top was easy data, you've still got some work to do on your positron emiters, I see. That's why you're in engineering, so stick to fixing the warp core and let the captain and I make the big decisions." Which is why old school spock just might out trade data on any given year. But, I'd invest my money in Kirk or riker's hedge fund over spock and data's any day. Because no matter how good your analytical skills are, at the end or the day, when it comes to trading, like politics, sometimes it's who you know that gives you the edge, not what you know.
Although I understand what you have to say..... I think you're a total nutjob. Go back to your box. You're single-dimensional. Although you may be a good trader, I bet your social life and relationships with individuals are pathetic at best. You're time would probably be better spent in a closet with a computer and a wireless connection. I also noticed you called religion a lie. Im sure you also "found that out" by your "knowledge of life". But unfortunately I have to say that several top traders do not share this view. This is another problem I have with you to be perfectly honest. LASTLY, to say that your little rant about how a good trader should think is just plain dumb. You dont have to be 'better than the world' to trade. That whole "philosophy and Aristotle" bullshit is a little too old now. We're in the 20th century.....catch up.
In one post you just revealed everything about yourself I would not want to spend 1 minute with a trapped man like yourself. let me guess your life is guided by what would baby jesus do. you are not half the thinker I am
-- welcome! very welcome indeed. Just came to this thread, but, good to know an honest person. Always. I just may share my honest opinions on this board. You must not let heavy info get you angry. Anger can and will be your worst enemy. Get even. i.e. soros! Test your skills to make a man like yourself closer to world domination(take control of the prison). Good luck in your endeavors.
talent comes from love. A lover of life for instance will be excellent at many things. You would be amazed at what an overly optimistic person can accomplish. Why? because to him, anything is possible. I myself cannot be classified. YOu can try to pin me to anything you feel might be what I am best at, but if you know me, these things are just normal occurences. You may say it is genetics, however no one in my family can, or has done the same. I am different and proud of it. I never wanted to be like everyone else, or mediocre. but thats just me. Its a free world "do what thou wilt".
