Is trading easy?

Handle's stuff? Yeah, I've been reading his posts for a while. He's got a weird low win rate system that pays out well, I believe.

 

I think you have that backwards. It is DAMNED easy to become a trader. It's not easy to trade WELL.

 

Yes, a clear mistake in wording on my part...

 

I was responding to Leob, not you...?

You did not type the lines I was quoting. You high again? *tsk tsk*

Or do you have Leob on /ignore, and thus did not know who I was responding to, which would again prove my idea that ignore/block should be temporarily disabled the hell out of here, see how convo flows improve.

 

Neither, if I had phrased the question better, a couple of posts could have been avoided

 

Ahh. Then I voted number 3, cunt.

 

Just a random comment here; I think your common trait to constantly wanting to improve things can sometimes hinder exploiting your already working strategy(s). So when you trade your strategy for a while you will become automatically bored and search for other methods, or search for ways to reduce drawdown/variance even more for example. If you do this too much there is a danger to deviate from your working strategy.
So the basic driving force -striving to make things better- combined with ever expanding curiosity can now become an enemy to your succes.

 

I also voted that one

 

Yes, I did go into detail, but I still think that how easy a person says that trading is, is a direction reflection of their expectancy. If its really high, of course trading is easy, if its low, then not so much. In other words, trading expectancy is directly correlated with how easy you think trading is.
