  6. It is quite apparent this fool couldn't trade out of a paper bag. He epitomizes the ignoble stupidity that has become the hallmark of ET of late.

    Next thing he'll be a ET "sponser" selling $299/month subscriptions to his trading site.

    that's the beautiful thing about human preception, its like water, it can be anything

  9. I understand that mastering trading is very difficult and expensive: I've spent two full years trying and another 9 working on it part-tme.

    Between losses, books, software, seminars, courses, quotes, and lost opportunity income I would say that I am 200K in the hole. I am lucky in that I have no debts and make very good money as a consultant and view this as an nvestment in my business. Through all of that, I can throughly understand why somebody who has learned how to make a living by trading would never disclose his/her secret to anybody except maybe a son or daughter (or other very close person).

    I have just ONE question for those that have 'made it' trading (and I doubt the OP qualifies): is there a way to MECHANICALLY trade the S&P (or ES) profitably? I have paper-trader umpteen strategies & have more to test but still have not found one that provides more than a 48/52% advantage. The original thesis does not pan out but the nverse does not either. So to help those of us truly interested and without giving your secrets away:

    1) do you use a totally mechanical system sucessfully?

    2) if some discretion is involved is it in the entry, exit or both?

    3) if discretion is used, how much is used in comparison to the mechanical parts?

    4) what is the % of winners or losers and what do you expect for a win/loss ratio?

    Any answers would be appreciated by all.

  10. I agree. Your edge is your ability to stick to your system and apply it to the market 100 % of the time.

    It was once said that you can publish your trading system in the newspaper, and people will still lose money simply because they fail to apply all the rules of the trading system.

    control your emotions and master your trades.
