So how does he generate his signals? Forgive me, I know it's greedy to ask, but your post begs the question
Than you must be richer than God? You probably are God as you can see that the signals don't come from my system without even having seen the system. If i would post in realtime you probably would find another excuse if the postings would be successful.
1/ Definitely. God is most likely broke, just look at the way he runs The World. 2/ You have said that you have posted your system here on ET so how can you be sure I did not see it ? I said that I am sure that majority of these signals did not come from any system you have posted on ET . They were too good to be given away. 3/ I have no doubt that you are successful and wish you the best in trading and in life . I think that my use of english might have been confusing to you.
Spike: I don't normally get into this, but I am being forced. I believe it is an insult to your own intelligence to have worked so hard for so many years putting your flawless system together and have given up the idea of one day becoming the richest guy on earth. If you are not interested in the money your system can produce then give it away to the so many organizations that help the poor and hungry. Now, if you don't care about them, then do it for us, you could pay all of our mortgages and credit card debt for starters.... Thanks for the entertainment !! Cord
This is what i already posted earlier: After losing a (for me at least) huge amount, i promised myself to limit my investments in trading if i would ever survive it. At the actual returns i don't have to invest big amounts anymore to get a very decent income. After my misadventure in the beginning i don't feel the need anymore to become the richest man in the world. I daytrade the ES so i cannot invest millionsof dollars in it. The market is to small to handle it. This means that the calculations that i could be the richest man on the world don't fit. But you need to know the ES futures to understand that. Professionals know what i'm talking about. My intelligence says that from a certain level of money, living becomes more important than earning more money. But to understand that you first need to have enough money. For poor people money is the only and most important thing in the world.
Spike: So you can understand me better, I'll give you a simple example. When baby elephants are born, they are tied to big wooden posts so they can't move around. As the elephant grows older the wooden post used are always smaller, to the point that a full grown elephant can be tied to a very small wooden post and will not move. This is called conditioning. I believe you have conditioned yourself to accepting less that you can achieve, only because you had a bad experience at the beginning. Simple food for thought..... Good luck. Cord
Spike, You might want to atleast mention the basis of your system, Elliot Wave, Oscillator, Support Resistence etc. This will help us in taking further interest or seeking other familiar grounds. I do not like EW or Gann although they work nicely after the fact, so if you are EW based then..........thanks for the charts anyways!
Indeed, i know that story, but that's only half of what my story is. My system makes me take position in general when evereybody else is running the other side. So confidence in the system is vital. I feel good with what and how i trade , if i change this situation by increasing size it might be possible that i will get more psychological pressure and i will not always follow the system anymore. So by increasing the size the returns might decrease severely. With how i trade now i can make a good living and still have left over enough money to give it later to my children. If my children would like to trade later, they will not have to work for a living, just trade. And on top of that i only trade the ES, so size is limited, i don't want to follow more than 1 item. It is so relaxing and comfortable that i don't want to give that up, even not for some (more) money. Sometimes on has to say NO to (more) money.
