Seriously? Does it mean that you don't know anyone who had made it? Personally, I know a couple of guys who had made it, but since I've been working in the trading industry all my life, I might be in a better position to know those guys...
@rb7: isn't your point #2 a bit self-referring? Most important step in developing a profitable trading system is to develop a profitable trading system.
bs, we do not know anything about anyone and forget about trading industry - no one can trade for a living in that industry
%% Good points; i dont really want to be a brain or heartsurgeon , but I'm not silly enough to think no one can LOL-LOL I like what the hedge fund manager said, in answer to the question '' which one,trader or investor?? Both..... NOT a prediction or a hedge fund manager.
I agree with you, my wordings was not as good as what I intended to mean. I meant to find a good potential system/model/strategy to advance to the following validation steps.
I'm not talking about strangers on the Net. I'm talking about real people that I know. I'm sorry for you that you think that no one can trade for a living. I won't try to convince you about anything cause I don't have anything to get from that. I don't know what you do for a living, but for sure it has nothing to do with trading. No offense.
almost everyone on this forum talks about people he knows as i said, we do not know anything about anyone
