I did not say the did not existed, I said they never lived (as traders) As for the possibilities outside of my realm of imagination show me the trader who was taught to trade for the living.... I may not know all the facts but I know the principles and that is a fare substitution, at least for me.
are you trading for a living because you hate your job or love trading? There are some people who have become disabled to the point where trading is the only option left to them, aside from the welfare queue. Some people would LOVE to work, but they are not able to any longer in every field they are qualified for. You understand that, yes?
Should the disabled trade? What chance of success do the physically disabled have at success in trading? Not advisable for them to be in this risky game because if they fail, they have no fall-back plan. Most people will fail at trading but they will turn out to be ok because they can go back to work. Not the disabled people. If they are truly disabled, society has a duty to look after them assuming taxpayers can afford. These are not lazy people. They simply happen to be unlucky.
There's a current thread that has the names of many. Tons of generously available material here in the archives. Just follow your inspiration.
Check EliteTrader's "Hall of Fame" thread. It's located at the bottom of the Forums section although an odd place management put it.
A very useful way to search for gold in the ET archives is to do as wrbtrader suggested previously. Search on a member and search through threads they were active within. Using time as a variable helps but more so when you have an active question to which you are seeking a solution. Different search engines post different results. Keywords do function as keys.
