How good are you?

Discussion in 'Psychology' started by Robby Luca, Sep 18, 2017.

Are you in the top 20% most successful traders on ET?

  1. Yes

  2. No

Results are only viewable after voting.
  1. Do you believe you are in the top 20% of traders on Elite Trader that is most successful, based on realized percentage gains/losses?
     
  2. When everybody on ET posts their results I'll let you know. Until then I believe I'm number 2 on the totem pole after you.

  3. "Do you BELIEVE you are in the top 20%" ... If everyone on ET posted their results, then it wouldn't be "beliefs", it would be facts. So you can stop trying to act smart now and just answer "no".

  4. In the Top 20%...Sure. o_O

    But...If you asked for the Top 5% or 1% or even less...I wouldn't be so easily confident. or quick or sure, to bet.

    The Top 20% is relatively easy.-- that's not an elite club or category or bracket to be in.

  5. I never said that top 20% is an "elite club".

    top 20% probably doesn't make any money haha... I think @lawrence-lugar is pointing to that :)

    EDIT let me rephrase that... I think that most in the top 20% hardly make any decent money trading...

    You would have better responses if you ask "how much percent is your average annual return". Assuming people will answer honestly:)

    Actually, @Robby Luca will have better answers if he asks what's your annualized sharpe ratio. Comparing annualized percentage return on derivative markets is a proof of a lack of basic understanding of risk/rewards.

  9. I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good at once as I ever was.
