Never said that. In fact, I've consistently argued the opposite -- that the trading road is tougher and longer than most folks ever expected it to be, my younger self included (not that I'm all that gray at 30). My response to you was tongue in cheek but born of real frustration. The assumptions you made -- or at least appeared to make -- were so glaringly off-base that I felt compelled to say something. You flabbergasted me. No kidding. I literally sat for five minutes trying to think of how to respond to your post -- without resorting to a laborious categorization of the whoppers within it, that is -- and came up blank. Wanted to ignore it, but I couldn't for some reason. Call it a quirk. In a last ditch effort to tear myself away, I resorted to sarcasm. Occasional bad habit I'm afraid. p.s. not posting too often is probably good form. I wholeheartedly concur that bullshit is best avoided. Doh! Sorry...
Darkhorse I apologize P.S. Regarding psychology, in a way, I get pissed off when somebody says psychology is not that relevant. From my experience I know you can know everything about the business of trading yet not being able to make a dime.
