Planet Earth's ultimate Short side game began Nov 2021

Discussion in 'Trading' started by margin_gamble, Jul 13, 2022.

  1. I have read as much as I can of ET

    skin in the game is close to zero. Not zero exactly, but close to it. Meaning that trading is so much a distant memory. Its mostly all coffeeshop talk now. Can't lean nothing that way.

    Another thing I have found out is that the vast majority are super small account holders. These individuals are sooo undercapitalized that they should defo not be in this game. There e is no room for error.

  2. My apologies. Your profile says 2010. That's a minm 12 years. But I'll take your word for it with the 4/5 years. YOU are still waaaaay ahead of me in terms of time/experience. I have only this BEAR as of Nov 22, 2021. Before that I was just a dumbphuck buy and hold player on the daily chart with positions for long periods of time. Zippo trading experience. Totally zippo.

    Therefore my actual real trading experience is 10 months.

    I am so new to trading my greenpeaness shines like a friggin beacon and neon sign.

    But that's the way it is

    Trying to predict which way the overall market is going to go is a sucker's game,I quit doing that long ago. Find a couple of strategies that work in ANY market and optimize them.

  4. I did well as a dumbphuck buy and holder and got the direction right. But the money is much much bigger if I can add trading to that. Buy and hold just has gobs of money locked away for loads of time and let the trend do its thing. I have that as an advantage. I can see the trend. Now is where I got s to add trading skills. then I have the complete package.

    Appreciate the advice but I've got to try to get better. There is no doubt in my mine that Trading will work for me. I just have to be willing to pay the price of tuition. And I am willing.

    Review your trades. See how you varied from your plan. Maybe you might learn something.

  6. For deaddog .................. I will not bring this up again as its badluck as I have stated before so do not ask me any more on this subject ...........


    you were trying to figure out account size, poisiton size and all sorts of stuff like this .....

    Like the others here you don't read. It was already mentioned in the first or 2nd page.

    $400k per entry equivalent in #shares.

    End of discussion

    Now go play with the level of losses I had during the fiasco and then see why I was distraught. And note that I have 4 other trades ongoing like eurUsd simultaneously. But these are not part of BEAR thread.

    End of finances discussion. Door is closed. :)

    So you already know every thing and don't really want to learn.

    I agree the door is closed

  9. Its really a weird thing that those who don't trade and therfore have no skin in the game will be soooo willing to shoot downone of their own who does have the balls to put his c**k on the line.

    Would never have thought this about ET. But its loud and clear. Clear as a bell. THEY will shoot you down and destroy you because you are doing what you are supposed to do but they cannot and have not been doing for decades - so they have to destroy you
