I am gonna reply you because you have one logical point that is really important: Why A winning trader should give away his/her edge, when in the worst case scenario he risk to lose this edge.

There are more and more motivations:
but PLEASE CONSIDER that IS A FACT that there are books written by traders with certified high returns.
1) They are financially independent and they like to share, because trade is a way to freedom for people that have some nice soft skills. In other words I will explain a "winning" system, only few people with merit will pick it up
2) A book can be an extension of personal notes, that mean that explaining a concept make it clearer also to you. Getting feedback, questions, but also find the way to explain can give you better idea about your own system
3)really important. A wife divorce from you, your children are bad, you did not sleep, you lose a lot and get frustrated because you did not diversify your investments, so you want to write a book to have a steady income source
4) Ego. Most of the greatest traders, the legends have more o less systematized their own system. Are you worthy less with 200 per cent returns
5) Some strategies will never stop to work. Take NVDA theme, and his technical characteristics, in 1980 was MSFT, tomorrow Quantum PC, the day after tomorow will be "BackToNatureAfterArtificialIntelligence LTD"
6)The offer of books from Wiley, good luck on the plethora to find what you like, Not too mention the guru that are everywhere. Writing a book on trading and making money on seminars is not easy with all the concurrency, so one need to have something more than just being legit
7) Giving and taking. You learned from a book, you give back
8) Nothing new. Writing a trading book that teaches new concepts innovative that are not been written before? Really difficult, so why not to try to make money on it, and freshen up things from my perspective? Sucessful traders as far as I know do not get assumptions, they battle test and adapt, reinterpret, and could love to see this as their own system.
9) Personally. Everybody ask me always the same question, investment advice, I would write a book just to avoid to reply every week to the same question, to explain them why copytrading is not a winning strategy
10) other reasons (to long to read). One wants to save the humanity from the 9 to 5 jobs, one want to teach the most amazing subject in the world that is predicting the future, one think trading is good for the progress of the humanity because people without ego listen the market, one need to justify to his wife and mother in law that is travelling in every spot of the world making conferences to conceal is asking for escorts and finally nice meals and cannot say "dear I am a nerd screen timer, I go to Spain to trade better", one need to show to himself that has the best system in the world, one is competitive and love to confront himself in the reality. One is a day trader and his eyes are getting tired to be a discretional trader and wants to stay more away from a pc giving workshops. One like human contact and like to see audience that lean to listen. One wanted to become an university professor but life gave him a place in unknown market wizards(is a book) and to take some air. Other consideration why one should not read books, because get idea, because a strategy needs to adapt as time change, chatgpt, algotrading, cartel of companies, new future ES manipulations despite liquidity, everybody can write code, everybody can read charts and whales move the market in another direction and so on. Last reason I read books: Knowledge is power, and i have the power to select the source I want. and yes for an organic reasoning I prefer someone that write a book to an half baked sarcastic elitetrader or reddit poster

Good Afternoon Ivano,

I have NEVER EVER been scammed by no man or woman in my life.

No Man or Woman have ever taking my money by selling me lies and scams.

@Ivano , please think about what I just wrong above in blue. Do you understand how that makes me feel to say that? I feel beyond powerful and extremely intelligent. It makes no sense for me to read anything about trading when I know how to program and make money trading manually already. It is VERY hard to scam a programmer (me) in the trading industry. VERY HARD.

I think we have different back grounds. I been knowing about Pimps, Hustlers, Smooth talkers, Liars, and Scammers since I was 10 years old. So it is VERY difficult to scam me in any way of life when it pertains to money making. It is the old saying of "You can not bullshit a bullshitter". I can never see myself paying for any trading knowledge in the trading industry.

"I see better than I hear and read, you have 3 minutes to show me or you are a liar and a scammer" SimpleMeLike

"Do not tell me nothing, show me everything within 3 minutes or you are a liar and a scammer " SimpleMeLike

"If you can not show me within 3 minutes, you are a liar and a scammer" SimpleMeLike

"I like VERY quick (within 3 minutes trading examples), not trading theory, show me in 3 minutes or you are a liar and a scammer" SimpleMeLike

These are the trading rules or making money rules I live by, and this why I listen to no-one unless they can not show me EVERYTHING in 3 minutes. My time, energy, and effort for anyone is only 3 minutes.

3 minutes, is why I am a Master ES trader, and I never ever been scammed or lie to or pimped or ANY man take money from me, ever in life.

I think trading is easy, once the trader devotes into him/herself, and not other belief in trading.

Good Morning Frederick Foresight,

Why do I need to show you "proof" of anything?
Do I know you from somewhere?
Who are you?
Do I owe you something?
Are you a criminal?
If I show you "proof", what will you give me in return?
How much money do you have to PayPal me today if I show you "proof"?

Thank you,

Because you made the claim. You don’t “have” to show us anything, but your claim falls flat if unsupported.

Hello Frederick Foresight,

Who needs to support my claim? I did not ask anyone to support my claim?
Why is it important for you to support my claim?
What good is my claim going to do for you?
Why should I care that you care that my claim will "falls flat if unsupported"?
Why do I care if someone support my claims?
Why would I show someone on the internet anything about me especially about money?
Do I know you, to be showing you my money?
Are you a robber, jacker, thief, scammer?
Why are asking to see my claims for?
Why are you not focused on your own claim?

You don't necessaily need to be the first in line, but you don't wanna be the last. Likewise, you don't need to be the smartest in the room as long as there's someone who's dumber than you (and there are plenty here).
