I am new here too. I appreciate your comment but there are a few worthwhile posts here and there, just for the sake of showing me something I didn't think about. Mostly though this is entertainment, I know better than to think I can just log into a trader forum and become some sort of super trader.
I don't think that any of the 50 best traders in the world is on ET, and they surely don't need to "take" anything here. Their level of knowledge is away beyond what you can catch on ET. And they don't contribute as they keep their knowledge for themselves.
"And they don't contribute as they keep their knowledge for themselves." And there you have it. But they all learnt and started somewhere too.
To the OP: find a failed trader who is a consistent loser and do the opposite of them when they are getting the most emotional and confident. Usually the best moment to act is after they get real loud, then quiet, like when a fight breaks out and someone gets smacked. One or two of them may already be on your list!
Yea...they started with degrees in finance and mathematics. Then went to work in an environment where they were surrounded by people in the industry and were required to rise to that level to survive. Destriero is prime example...yea he's the fucking man no doubt...but look at his career history (he posted in one of his older journals I believe Maybe under Atticus). Retails get fucked. Book after book after book you think you've found that last number to the combination to unlock alpha but in the end they are just words. Trading has made me an absurdist unfortunately...
Haha. That's what I've heard elsewhere. People go quiet, disappear after a bad run. Probably reassessing and replanning.
