Of course, one could also use the following metric ... People who describe profitability as something out of a Tom Clancy Novel or Hollywood Movie don't trade for a living. - Spydertrader
Seek-Id, could you perhaps enlighten us as to the best Way to trade, preferably not an Eight-Fold one? I agree with you that the anagrammatic thread snorter is full of excrement of the sacred cow.
Spy-der-Trader, do you remember us? When you came to visit Jack? And had a little too much peach schnapps? And Jack took you out into the back yard? And I (Kokomo) knocked you down? And Bogart humped you? What did you learn about internet gurus then? We wouldn't have done that if you didn't always avoid the question.
That's a pretty broad statement there ... is there an "unnatural way" to make money trading? ... ... and if so, I'm 100% sure that DM will find it.
well as you know many ways to skin the cat (except SCT ) but anyway, see here is a typical ET story, oh I came up with a method edge, I do 30-40% in 6 months or 8 months while there are traders out there making money lot of them are trading in an unnatural way that means they trade by working HARD, they make indicators, they wait for setups, they make many trades with small profits -------------------------------- now to trade in a natural way, you work LESS not MORE, you don't use indicators, you keep your size BIG, because you want to do 100% in 3.5 months the latest you use a free flowing method that is SAFE, safe enough to keep the size big
Duref, Firstly, might I take a moment to commend you on the strength of this thread. You are obviously filling a great need here in our little ET community. Secondly, I would like to put forward a suggestion for the coming week if I may. Following on from your fine work with "Pissbreak" I would like to work with you in developing "Peter Pan" also to be known as "away with the fairies" This system will have the broadest appeal to our ET community with a reach beyond PissBreak and eventually I would expect it to even outsell "Frontal Lobotomy" The first group to pay good money for "away with the fairies" will be all those Posters providing live calls after the event. Anyway take your time Duref and think about my suggestion. But it does seem to meet the criteria and high standards you have set for this excellent thread cheers -9 less abit
Thank you. I do what I can to give back to the community from which I learned to be such a great trader. And I appreciate your system development suggestion, but I am not quite grasping the concept. When you say Peter Pan and Away-With-The-Faeries, what New Trading Psychology emotion are you thinking of? (Remember that fear and greed have been banished.) Entitlement, perhaps? That cozy feeling of being in the warm embrace of a Philanthropic Market? The confidence of Communal Action?
welcome to sunday duref, Let me walk you through the concept as best I can. "away-with-the-faeries" Firstly let me assure you that this title has no geo-social links. Personnel preferences existing in such areas as LA, Santa Barbara, San Fran, Key West, never entered my mind in the creation of the title.. "Peter Pan away-with-the-faeries" is designed for those members or our little community here at ET who exhibit a natural abhorrence towards reality. Now, allow me the privilege of offering an example. Our brave young Trader is stopped out of a trade by a pullback that was not meant to happen. He/she experiences fear, fear and more fear culminating in a pissbreak only to return to the screen to see that their system triggered a buy signal into the best and only good trade of the day. It is 3:45pm and they have been screen watching all day and there were no decent trades yesterday just to add insult to injury. Well Duref, just ask yourself. You would have had a tit full of reality as well if this happened to you. The bloody reality thingy is highly over rated in my opinion. "Peter Pan away-with-the-faeries" will fix all of that due it's complete non-lineal separation with reality. In other words it removes the fear/greed component completely and replaces it with pure BS. "Peter Pan away-with-the-faeries" will accurately record your entries and exits after the event and post them to the thread of your choice (yes it includes that function as well) Also it offers an add-on at the very reasonable price of 500 bucks which will automatically create another Username and respond to your chosen thread telling you just what a clever bugger you are. All this without ever touching reality at all. I tell you Duref, this is huge .... bigger than Ben-Hur cheers f9 and slipping
part two .... "Peter Pan away-with-the-faeries" As you know Duref, I am big on customer service and it is my belief that once we have a paying customer on our books it must be our sworn duty to fleece him/her in every possible way and at the same time reward them for introducing their friends. ( yes I know. I have just re-read this and I am confused as well) Anyway, on with the show. Remember the self congratulatory add-on I mentioned in my last post. Well mull this over at your leasure This is a clip-on to the add-on. There are one or two skeptical memebers here within our tight little community ... non believers as it were, who are determined to ruin things for the rest of us by trying to reintroduce this reality thingy. One low down favourite trick is to check mulitple Users through their ISP. Can you believe this ... who would stoop to such levels amongst us. Anyway .... my suggestion for a clip-on to the add-on for your learned consideration goes like this. For an extra 100 bucks we offer an anonymity programme to the self congratulatory add-on module. The fact that we have lifted this freely available programme from the net, should identify our paying customer as an bona fide ET member. "a mug born every day" is a name that is rolling around inside my head, but of course as always the final decision lies with you. cheers f9 and slipping further
