  2. I don't trade for a living. I trade to make a fortune.

    There're plenty of better ways to make a living.

    How do you define "better"?

  4. For those who don't know what I mean, you're probably trading for a living & really, only for a living.

    Yes, that's right, it's for a living (to pay bills, have some fun and add to savings).

    And a little side benefit is a lot of time for a life. When I hear about people commuting to work two or more hours a day, or watching TV four hours a day because they're so stressed or depressed, working from home 6 hours a day (or less) seems "better" to me.

    Do you remember the guys in the past that showed up at ET that said if you're not making at least 5 million a year...you ain't a profitable trader and not making enough to be noticed. :D

  8. I see a lot of people complain about low volatility. Instead of complain about it why not profit off it? there's tons of ways to profit off low volatility..

    Some do profit from it but that doesn't mean the "low volatility" goes away. Thus, some folks just like to complain. Today its low volatility, tomorrow its the new exchange fees...something to complain about.

    Others just move on to something else that has decent volatility.
