God can bite my chode. We can continue that discussion further in the mud-pit that is politics/religion. But seriously, God is a POS.
Teach them everything you know and let them watch you trade, so they know what you've taught them really works. Provide starting capital if they require it. Then... watch them fail.
that is one of the advantages of trading...only your broker knows how rich you are....you may be worth more than the top 10 in the Forbes list but no one will knowe
Friends will only do that if you've been bragging, talking about how much money you have been making, making extravagent purchases and then consistently discussing such with them and so on. Another possibility, you're with someone (spouse) that's been doing the above while you're more reserve. Seriously, if you have a friend that specifically uses the phrase "...want a few of your profitable trade signals..."...somebody has been talking to much to that friend or making grandiose statements. Regardless, now that the cat is out of the bag... Just start telling them you've been lucky so far and don't know what you're doing. If they continue to persist for trade signals...just tell them every person you've helped have lost the shirt on their back and more. They keep bothering you, tell them your trading has been poor for the past year or so, you're losing money and mention that some creditors have been sending you notices...luckily you have a savings to live on for awhile. Next, borrow some money from that friend. Also, go to the store with your friend and buy some lotto tickets. They will stop bothering you for trade advice. P.S. Donate anonymously to local charities that touch your heart...helping those locally in your community instead of far away. Only person that should know you're doing such is when you file your government taxes. wrbtrader
Prosperity not shared with family and true friends is empty and hollow. It’s pale in comparison to true prosperity. True prosperity is elevating to everyone within your circle of influence. Most likely what you are perceiving in others are a reflection of that within yourself that you do not appreciate. Making an offer of teaching how to fish rather than giving out fishes allows for self-selection and self-screening. Paying it forward provides an experience of a durable fulfillment beyond the simple accumulation of money and material possessions can offer.
Look at this situation you've gotten yoursefl into as a learning lesson... If one day you do win the lottery, if your state allows you to remain anonymous and receive your winnings thru a trust fund...take that path. Regardless, you need to look at the quality of your friends and you know darn well you can help a friend in need without giving them "trade signals" and you know you do not need to teach them how you're trading to be able to help them. wrbtrader
%% Depends on what you give them; , 200 dma could help. BUT a loan, or many specific signals can be counterproductive.Of course if one is a value investors, that so seldom works, giving some of those signals may not hurt a trading system like that LOL. Giving all you can seems to work with Bill/Melinda Gates; not giving much MSFT away, LOL , but medical missions
Keep your trading to yourself, make up a job you do, with fixed hours where they can't contact you between, unless emergency, cause you'll end up, giving them money, trying to teach them how to trade and as your home odd jobs, lifts, bla bla bla!! I need a cheap office, with good internet for peace and quite soon I think
