    I see quite a few traders that outright lie about their income. Doctors, engineers, and mechanics dont lie, why do many traders lie?

    To hide their failure.

    You must be born yesterday.

    Traders, doctors, engineers, and mechanics ALL lie.

    Some are very good at lying.
    Some lie in broad daylight.
    Some lie during the dark night.

    remember when NY_HOOD lost all his money and he sat in a parking lot crying like a little baby?

    Yes, I remember that story about @NY_HOOD. Feels like it was only yesterday.

    Are you talking about traders who try to pass as gurus to sell courses? I wouldn't be surprised.

    I don't think anyone on Elite Trader is lying about their income since no one is trying to sell you anything here.

    A what? I've heard people talk about that before but never had one myself. Unless you count someone you care about dying or something like that other than that I never lost a damn penny in the market well I did once back in 1999 but that doesn't count
