    MrCharts,

    how many years did you wander in the trading wilderness before you found the light (as I understand, your light was shown to you by the strange people).? Also, do you think you would have gotten there eventually on your own?

  2. trading knowledge can be easily acquired
    trading skills can be easily learned

    mentally you can think it is easy, then it is easy, just like self-prophesy.

    from those points, you see it is damn easy.

    the problem here is: knowing or having or talking is totally different from doing

    the hardest thing in trading is: doing. in doing, you find you are beaten up by the market or you may be the hero or the market center

    you know if you jump off a cliff, you may still live with no major injury,but ask you to do it in reality, will you do it?even you know it is just a jump, it posts no harm, but you could not do it!

    Possibly - But doing (what you must) is the "only" thing that matters Sir


    eta - If one completely accepts that fact - then possibly doing becomes easier - or not...

    Totally one's choice - as it is in all matters

    Yes ok, we are stating that a trader can reach profitability a lot faster if they are given certain information that goes unoticed to the average struggling trader. Isn't that obvious in almost any endeavour? Is it right to give out that information on an ET thread? I'm not so sure. That is a slap in the face to those that have paid for that information with years of hard hard work. Just a thought.

    Hey Dr. E

    I would pose - You could place it on a silver platter and most would turn their back anyway

    I believe MC is trying to help those - who care enough to make the effort to help themselves Sir

    But as one person cannot possibly know another's mind - anything is possible

    regards

    All righty obviously we need a box – but where to begin


    Let’s see

    I believe this box must define

    What we’re doing

    Why we’re doing it

    When we should do it

    When we would be wrong / How much we’re risking

    And “possibly” how much we could gain

    I say “possibly” – because I would submit if one could limit (control) losers – then winners are almost assured – and inconsequential.....

    Now tell me that doesn’t simply boggle the mind…. If you allow it…your choice as always

    Btw – no pithy (herd mentality) comments about – Look now RN’s guaranteeing 100% winners – I never said that, but it is logical that if one can control one thing (a loser) then the other (a winner) is bound to happen – frequently :)


    So am I missing anything here with respect to what this box must do…..

    And more importantly of course – what could I possibly use, that the many are not already using, to build this box……I just wonder


    Btw – I am NOT asking MC (he already knows) – So please jump in and help me– otherwise what’s the use



    Remember – Trading is a thinking man’s / woman’s game

    Feel free to join the many…. or work (think) your way through this – your choice – as it always is…

  9. To be honest, NO!

    To be truthful, I ended up where my initial thoughts had led me, but having falling for the marketing material, I like many spent thousands and wasted endless hours trying to find that perfect combination of this and that, that was supposed to let me win, boy what a dumb ass trader I was!

    It is only when you make some good money, and then give it back, and then repeate this about 2 more times, then, and only then does the heavy stone drop on your big toe!

    As you can see, I am no different to most, it is just that I had the cop on from day one to not lose it all in a very short time, and I set out to learn, not to win, but on my journey I was led astry by mentors, guru's, professionals, yuppies, and what ever else you want to call them, but I can honestlly tell you now that they are all fools, and the only real thing that they thought me was that I was a bigger fool.

    It took the 7 year cycle of life for me to cop on, and eventually I siad to myself, what the fuk am I doing, these shit heads know sweet fuck all about me and how I think, so how the fuk are they going to help me make money?

    Suddenly, I saw the market for what it really was, and instead of having to get the trade on, I had to wait until it was time to put my money at risk, so that the odds of me losing was very small, and the odds of me winning were much better than me losing.

    Its a mugs game, really, but only if you are a mug!
