Yep, I was correct. Too bad padu did not see this. I guess he is back to the book of Brooks. Wonder what he will try next...Bonds? AHHAAH!
Every now and then when I visit the forum and see this thread, it reminds me of how stubborn people can be. Most people never move their asses until their balls are squeezed.........hard. It happened to me and it marked the day my journey started. Llife is such a wonderful thing, it wll strip away every misconception you have about friends, women, money, even life itself, until what remains is the truth. I also suggest googling "denial of personal reality". FFS, it took you 14 years to figure this out? I've no idea if Brooks is good or bad, but I do know that anything which takes more than 10 minutes to understand is balls. The best thing you can do now is rip out the pages from the book and keep them next to the fireplace to light a fire, or next to the shitpot to use when you run out of toilet paper. Dump the Brooks book and get on the Net, there a quite a few systems which actually work and are available for free. If you want to do even better read thru the 2 links https://www.inditraders.com/showthread.php?t=11445 https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/spanish89s-daily-trading-journal.133701/ I've said this for years, get the data and reverse engineer their trades for the next 3 months I would have posted the data but it is on some hard drive and I don't know where. Today is the first Sunday of Advent and I've no interest in getting into a long discussion so it's your choice. I don't expect you to take these suggestions since you are trading with free money, but I can say I tried. And spend a few bucks to buy this book - Decoding Greatness: How the Best in the World Reverse Engineer Success
you are right ET refuse to accept that i can be the best ever. how stubborn people are i am not saying i will be or want to be perfect. i want to be the best ..ever.....and will accept nothing else. i have almost done it...
Stop trying to sound like a cold caller asking for my credit card number and maybe people will take you more seriously
Why do you think you can be the best ever? What are you basing that on? I mean, looking at the results you have had for the past 13+ years, there is little to no evidence you will ever even be slightly profitable, let alone be close to the best ever, whatever that means to you. You are having blind faith, stupid faith, for that you will make it one day, with nothing to show for it, except losses. And the worst part is, you learned nothing from those losses. There is literally 0 improvement in your trading over the years. I really don't know why you think you can be the best ever, when you can't even slightly improve your extremely bad results. You will never be able to get better as long as you keep making the same mistakes over and over again. You need professional help before you ruin your and your family's lifes.
I FORGET TO THANK YOU.......for encouraging an 63 old idiot, who with one foot in the grave is tryin to learn to trade. people like who give such constructive advice is what makes ET great. i have told Baron to give a huge reward for such self less service
Many a truth is spoken in jest, in this case sarcasm. Yes I do, because of the hard work I've put in and the long hours spent in backtesting many ideas. Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. - George Bernard Shaw
