People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want something, go get it period... You will come across losers on a weekly basis, don't bother trying to re shape how they view things. If they viewed things right, they wouldn't be losers in the first place
I appreciate you spent a lot of time and effort to post your views and responded to our comments. There may be a lot of other better trades, but, most of us here are just following our passion, like a moth flying into flame. You don't have to tell us this is not a good trade, we already knew when we started, that it is not a good trade, for the other guys. It would be helpful if you can shine a light on how to improve our odds, like some of the regulars who spent their time doing. Then you will be valued by this community. Have a good day.
I believe Cityboy to be either Anton Kreil or one of his associates or one of his students. The language and comments are very similar to writings and videos of Mr Kreil. Please prove me wrong*. I want evidence. *I refer you once more to the title of the thread.
Maybe. I only did not meet in Anton's videos the type of snobbery Cityboy has towards self-directed traders. Returning to our outrageous and unbelievable for many, even here story, which is sadly true [ https://letsmaketheworldfairer.wordpress.com/2019/02/27/27-february-2019/], I contacted Anton Kreil and asked his support in terms of opinion. Silence. "Traders help traders" And there are many real examples of that in Mr. Leo Melamed book "Escape to the futures" I don't believe that a sincere and real successful trader, who is really willing to help others to rise through the wilds of own weakness and cruelty of unscrupulous brokers, would not be moved to help us. If one has at heart the self-directed trading then, the path is made of two core parts: - help novices to understand that it is work, burning, learning and exercising. It is easy and will become such when you will release your in first your two "little" friends - ego and any type of beliefs about money, combined with hard work and martial arts like attention; and here city-boy's two categories are in the same wave; - trying to clean up space from all type of sharks, to help the rules and standards to be respected, to stop the ongoing party of dishonest brokers who are taking illegal profits from genuine novices or to breaking all laws in hope to hide behind "trading is risky and 99% are losers". No, we are not 99% losers. And for me Anton's silence makes me understand that all his affirmations of having at heart to help traders are to say less, not true.
I dont think anyone has mentioned the obvious, that some people win by failing, some people win by not participating in the game. Or that some people try trading and discover a different kind of livelihood, one to which they are more suited. Some people seem to even enjoy analyzing the game with no apparent intention.
Someone mentioned old Seinfeld episodes in this thread. After recently watching a few, it's fairly obvious that much of the humor comes from the fact that the characters are all pathetic and never learn.
