    Nor do I make any claims. That's what fakers do.

    I don't try to be right, I try to be profitable.

    Posting trades requires one to be right or face eating crow. Observer effect at play. No thanks.

    The word worth is a subject for philosophers.

  5. And it's getting obvious you're just throwing stones from a glass house. Don't be talking trash if you can't step in the ring.

    Trading hasn't taught me much, am very much like who I was before trading. I live well below my means, never bought expensive cars, although once bid at an auction six figures for Auburn car from the 1930's.

    The challenge of me against me all that mattered. When other traders said something couldn't be done, that's what I worked towards.

    Being conservative helps.

  10. Good Morning ph1l,

    I do not read trading books. I Never have and I Never will.

    I do not watch any YouTube videos regarding trading. I Never have and I Never will.

    I do not read any books on anything. I have not read a book since college. I will never ever ready a book in my entire life. My bank account is the only thing I need to know.

    I do not invest any of my time and energy in learning anything new about trading from anyone who wants my money to learn something new. I think learning more about trading is a complete waste of time for me. I think trading the ES futures market is very easy and fun to do and very easy to get rich.

    For me, Day Trading is VERY EASY and SIMPLE, and produces ALOT of EASY money.
