Everything is relative ftrade. Obviously you have a superiority complex - which in case you don't know what that means here is a definition for you: If you have '$$$' you shouldn't need to ask for advice on a forum. Go and have a chat to your financial advisor, your CTA, stockbroker, accountant or whatever professional advice you surely must have. Then with your '$$$' you can buy a 10 LCD monitor setup with streaming Reuters and Bloomberg, rent flash offices in Miami with water views, and a seat on the CME, then you can laugh at the 'losers' on this forum - at your own expense. Because the market punishes those who know not what they do.
With his '$$$' he should seek professional advice before he even posts on a forum - a life coach could be in order
haha i was just wondering why John Merchant hadn't weighed in w/ some of these newbie posts. I see he's made an appearance and doled out some advice for young ft.
You make some very valid points ftrade. I don't know anybody personally who is making big figures trading futures, but I think I won't be wrong if I say, they don't spend much time on internet message boards venting out their frustrations and seeking to alleviate physcological pain. Because they don't have any. Instead they enjoy their pofits in much healthier ways, rather than in front of a monitor, be it tube or lcd.
John47. Thank you kindly. I think that it is important for the community to know that trading failure is not exclusively the purview of the young. And that it is quite possible for one to be highly accomplished in one's field (as I am) and still be an idiot at trading. But my best advice (oft given), is to treat trading as a lark, as one's hobby, less expensive, perhaps, than loose women. If you risk an infinitesimal fraction of your net worth (not your self-worth, that is altogether a different matter) as I do, why, you cannot help but be a success, because nothing is at stake. I follow this same philosophy with women, where I specialize in lonely middle-aged fat girls. They are the sexual equivalent of entering an NQ position in a two-tick twenty minute low liquidity consolidation at midday. My fat girls, like those fools I trade against mid-day, always wind up on their backs.
this is why ET is so lame, a thread about someone seeking advice turns into a flame fest, then further deginerates into a guy bragging about fucking fatties !! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
John So why do you focus only on fat women? Why work hard to be successful to score with fat chicks? You can be a loser and screw fat chicks too. You focus on lonely middle aged fat chicks my god John you donât even need to buy them dinner to get laid. I bet you can get them to buy you dinner then massage you with a happy ending. So John I must tell you to use your wealth in better ways. A pretty girl in your bed is so much better and will improve your trading. A pretty girl gives you reason to work harder were a fat girl makes you just want to work longer so you donât need to see them.
