  2. I have to be honest with you porgie. I don't think you trade with real money. But, you do talk a good game though. I suppose you were an order filler for a rich trader once. Then he fired you when you fucked up an order. You telling us that he went broke and then died might probablly be a lie and it might be a way of you getting back at him for firing you.

    Most people who make any money (and I am not taking about $50,000/yr working chimps) wouldn't claim to be making any, and if questioned.. they wouldn't mind proving it because they could care less about what they disclose to others or what they think etc etc..

  4. Perhaps, but that 1% can still be fairly potent and should be administered and handled with care. For example, acid absorbs 47 times its own weight in excess reality, as several posters here can readily attest.

  8. The thing is, the same effort, lets say selling junk of one kind or another to the public would be less stressful and more profitable.


    Trading is hard work. Win lose or draw.

  10. <b>stock777</b>, I agree with you that <i>learning</i> how to trade is really hard work. The time spent inside that curve is usually much longer and much tougher than anyone ever imagines. Once the curve is negotiated, successful trading is a lot easier than most other professions by <u>relative comparison</u>.

    For example, my girlfriend just had surgery to repair a serious break to her upper humorus. The orthopedic specialist spent 5+ hours in operation, plus the follow-ups to come. That (in my opinion) is a hard way to make several $thousand directly compared to trading 10-lots in the ES.

    Yes, a number of very successful traders sell "junk" to the public. Why? I guess we should ask someone like Linda Bradske and Constance Brown that very same question. Both of those ladies trade the S&P with size, both of them are very public in the educational circuits. Do they find selling high-dollar seminars, chatrooms, etc easier money than trading? Worth asking them, if one wishes.

    **

    Successful trading, i.e. correct contract size per working capital (once the game is mastered) with the right approach is far less stressful than many other professions. That is probably why doctors, lawyers, CPAs and pro athletes are highly attracted to our field.
