  1. I'm not trying to give you a hard time or be sarcastic, but wouldn't this be the perfect time to suggest buying a copy of Beat The Machines? I'm just trying to help you get your sales up. You paid for vendor status, start plugging. ABC=Always Be Closing.

    Someone mentioned time wasting trolls.....why would they even bother, what do they get out of it?

  4. This "RichTrader" kid has blown thousands of dollars in bad trades. Go buy a copy of Beat The Machines. If you can't even buy a single copy of Beat The Machines then why should anyone believe you?

  5. These trolls get a laugh out of people spending their time to give them a serious response to a stupid question. Kinda like how trolls would prank call Pizza Hut and ask the employee to spell "Pizza Hut" with a foreigner soundboard.

  6. I can't personally recommend anyone. Last trading class I took was over 10 years ago which is so long ago, I can't even say if they'd be teaching the same stuff. You're just going to have to google reviews and see who's happy with what they learned and who's not and judge from them.

    That's an odd thing to waste time on.

  8. Unfortunately there are a few people on this site that keep making new profiles every other day to troll the folks who have had a profile here for years. There was a guy named "PoorBoy" that was starting a ton of new threads a day. Now this could be just a really excited newbie or it could be a troll flooding the site.

    Maybe RichTrader98 is a teenager who really messed up and I am just being paranoid. Or, it could be a troll. Time will tell.

    Like a few others said before, I think 20k is enough to recoup your losses BUT if you don't change you won't see your results change with the exception of some good luck here and there. Spend your time searching and testing a new strategy and figure out a way to remain systemactic (even if manually trading) and follow your rules to a T, zero deviation to a system that has been tested as net positive. Pay attention to historical drawdown and be sure not to lever up where a normal drawdown will take you out.

    It's definitely a troll. I can't believe you guys are trying to give serious responses to intentional stupid questions coming from an obvious troll... I guess the older generation doesn't really understand the concept of trolls or have enough common sense to identify one.

    Elitradarer - An easy target for even the most transparent and obvious of trolls.
