    The most successful traders on here:
    1. Are relentless about finding edges.
    2. Very aggressive at maximizing the monetization of those edges (to the point of psychopathy)
    3. Are very flexible in their thinking about their risk and positions.
    4. generally very intelligent to identify the subtleties above.

    you are missing out. There’s quite a few smart successful traders on here (and a lot of derelicts)

    I didn't see don't use stops on there so it's all a moot point. But anything that exposes Guru culture is better than nothing.
