Honestly, you guys are so annoying. Just answer the question. It's a test! Right now the votes are 9-yes, 10-no. Technically it should be 4-yes, 15-no. Like who fucking cares about sharpe ratios and risk/reward... I do not give a shit, I just wanted to see how many of you truly believe you are better than 80% of the traders on here because you're not. Not for anything, I realized that those who try to be smart asses and deviate from the actual SIMPLEST questions and make it complicated for nothing are probably the worse traders.
Not sure the 20th percentile would be profitable. How abut what precent are profitable or what precent hAve clearned overy a mIllinois dollars on the las 10 years?
I wish instead of trading , kept buying INTC and MSFT shares for years , as I was by told some old , smart people. that"s how you grow your money . buy , don't sell....that answers your question.
Ahhh.... probally worse than that. However, maybe these forums are a subset. Maybe ET is a hotbed of incredible genius traders that would put Goldman to shame. Maybe ET is like a Florence hangout for artists during the Renaissance. (But I would bet more toward the way you are imply)
