How much do the top ET traders make?

  1. I wonder where the HF managers,
    (not the 19 year olds that advertise here - the ones with MBA's from Harvard and Wharton)
    and business journalists go online to get ideas and learn to feel the pulse of other investors.

    I know they have a staff to watch CNBC and read annual reports, but I bet that they still go online and read forums and blogs.

    On the right track. Comparative measures are on the time it takes in the doubling of capital as well as reducing risk.

    CW is not the place to be looking.

    Paradoxically, looking for the money is counterproductive vs achieving understanding and actually positioning oneself to ‘see’ the market’s system of operation.

    Very nice - previous post, informative and interesting.

    Forum name - i don't see anything silly about the name. Lentus has complained/whined in other topics as well, so him making jokes about the name was no surprise to me. (a some shape/form of victim mentality , my personal opinion & that can be cured, if one is agreeable and willing to do so)

    Statistics remain the same - 1 out of 10. If one has a chances of 10% ( even less i guess) to make it and he does (and if not, sometimes loose life savings by trying) , such individual, is an elite in specific field.

    And we do have in here, traders/investors who made it big. Professionals as well.

    Some sort of Mair Barak or SA Market forecaster shows up - gets eaten alive ;
    not because of hate, but because of bs, that the experienced ones - ain't gona tolerate.
    (for the benefit of new people)

    Maybe percentile has changed over the years tho, i don't have such data, most likely it is within the memory of elder members.

    *******

    I like how in the last add, at 0:22 they say ,, so you can strike when the time is right ''.

    Or maybe shes working at Axe Capital , that would explain things, random girl, yoga student, in metro with pigeon on shoulder, no volume, shorting/averaging up ticker that isn't listed.
    (maybe it gives access to OTC :D)

    Lentus, good questions. I was just wandering the same, but could not find logical answer. It looks to me like some sort of PAMM account rather than sole trading. What do you think?

    I am puzzled. If you are trend following, this past decade (2009-2019) the market has trended up most of the time and if you trade the trend, on average you should be profitable, so why weren't you profitable?
