Many of them are trolls. Some really ask for help. They post details of what happened to them and exactly are the information or the help that they are looking for. Those, I do respond to provide any help I can. For those that expect to be spoon-fed with those general questions in the title of the thread like that, I feed them whatever I can give and many times I don't even read them. I can't give them too much info. anyway I won't even know where to begin cuz their questions are so general. You give whatever you can, they ask whatever they want.

Sit there every day, follow the market without any gimmicks, and sooner or later you have to figure it out. Or with the words of Tom Baldwin: “It's perseverance” declares Tom Baldwin who started with $25,000 and made untold millions trading upwards of $2 billion dollars a day in T-Bond futures. "It's perseverance. You don't need any education at all to do it … because it is like any job. If you stand there long enough, you have to pick it up."
