Tell me, does "exaggerating" give you an appetite? (P.S. I must commend you on your candor. Most traders wouldn't readily admit to having had only three 6-figure days thus far this year. It is, after all, mid-March already!)
Hey, I was giving you some props for enlightening me on my irrational thinking. You DID help me out somewhat. I am much obliged.
Hey, don't worry about it. It's my job to provide spiritual guidance to multi-millionaire traders struggling to cope in a no-risk environment.
Like I said in a previous post on this thread, I consider you a very intelligent person based on your posts so it doesnt surprise me that you could help me see the irrationality in my thinking. I do appreciate it Thunder
Very well, then. My work here is done. And now if you'll excuse me, I must attend to other troubled souls trying to get by in the land of milk and honey.
Please come back to do the poll again in July 2008. A group of us did not get to vote this time; we have just started our SCT lessons, it won't be finished until Dec 2007. We will trade from Jan 2008 to Jun 2008 with real money. We can give you our 6 months results in July 2008.
TUMs Paper trading!!!! For how many years now? Most paper traders do it for a couple months at most. Myself i could not even do it for a single day, it just was not in my wiring to play make believe. Paper trading reminds me of little boys running around with a paper airplane and waving it all around and making sounds from a make believe motor. How about this? paper trading for girls is like baking a cake and playing house with make believe doll, advanced make believe girls put lipstick on. Is paper trading playing "GURU any different? Do you send the paper trading results to your girlfriend? Jacks so called "method" has about as much value as any technical analysis book in print now or ever has been in print. What jacks "method" is consists of nothing but simple plain vanilla channel trading, been around forever, Correct? Ok, anyone can call price moves as they occur, nothing difficult about that (especially a minute or two after the fact). Where jack and the followers fall short is quite simple. This silliness about calling trades from paper trading is out and out just a false fantasyland for new fools to hang their hat on as they enter the land of fairy tales. ACTUAL traders know the human emotions in a game of probabilities and gamesmanship can never be eliminated. Jack claims in( paraphrased ramblings) to have conquered the human mind and eliminate all self doubt and fear of loss. This is flat out wrong to make such claims because it is only possible while doing paper trades and when those that follow jack are "REPORTING" nothing more than mkt action as it is unfolding. To actually be pulling the trigger on said trades is pure bunk. We all know nothing about the next single tick, we know never for sure if a trade will be a winner or a loser..........BUT one thing we do know for certain is that not ALL will be winners. O, yes, jacks puppies will say we are selling nothing, we never claimed to paper trade, we this, we that. I care less about that, what i do care about is not feeding new people a bunch of bunk. Have a good day. BE CAREFUL out there. Some want in your pocket more than you realize. Wait and see. .. :eek:
Hopefully he has inspired you to start a journal and help the less fortunate.... I have worked at Salomon in its heyday,Merril,Nomura and Smith Barney,and I have never been exposed to more "Masters of the Universe" than here on ET..... Harold,I would assume you should have no problem sending over an audited Track record which should be able to land you 50 - 100 million dollars to start with the fund of your choice,should your returns be a fraction of what you state....
