Hello taowave, If I am committed to getting to +100 ES contract by end of the year or before and as humanly fast as possible, then I am committed to my craft.
Hello taowave, What bases do you mean? The base is the base of +100ES contracts shown in the DOM contracts user input by end of the year, when I click buy and sell button.
Arent you in the Red as of yesterday?? I commend you on your honesty,but you arent commited,you are dreaming.. Or looking to go the way of the dinosaur
The day you're going to take this $$$ off your eyelashes, and start enjoying the art of developing an edge on boring charts, and even more boring - backtesting the edge, and all this while not touching the buy button a single time, not thinking about ferrari or aston martin or girls -> will be the day you will start to see success (and $$$)
He's a very basic guy.Likeable enough,but very basic. Comprehension not very good so hasn't been able to extract the information from books and videos that a normal person would. From my peripheral observation of him on this forum,I think he loses about 4 or 5 thousand dollars per year 'trading' just for the privilege of being a part of it all. I believe,in real money terms,Padu was more successful.Simply by understanding that he never quite 'got it' and staying on sim.
Trading is contrary to conventional wisdom… completely counter intuitive! Premium set ups only … less is more. It’s a game of observation & extremely boring when exercised properly. Experience is your only teacher, unfortunately, very expensive…. Your weaknesses as a decision maker are quickly exposed in this racket … the quicker you can convert yourself into something you’re not is better served!
That is highly doubtful. Most people go down the path you are describing. SimpleMeLike has it right: the best path is to get taught by someone who knows what he is doing. Short of that, the rational thing to do for an unskilled person is to not trade. But life would be unbearably dull if everyone acted rationally all of the time. Reaching for the stars comes at the risk of crashing and burning. In trading, it’s just money he’s risking. It’s gambling entertainment and unlike going to the casino or the racetrack he gets a tax write-off to offset other gains and income. What a deal. Keeping the dream alive is worth something.
SimpleMeLike comes from an extended Family. Has a good Education and Job in I.T. he has previously said. How many Black Americans have that. He's a spoilt Brat. He says he plays the Race Card at every opportunity to get ahead. He wants the American Government to give him $2 million due to African Americans being treated poorly, hundreds of years ago. Even though SimpleMeLIke wasn't even born in America and is an Immigrant to the U.S. He spends his Weekend trying to be the Gangstar. He says if he deals Drugs he'll go to Jail, so he trades the E.S. He hunts Deer and owns attack Dogs and Guns. Why doesn't he do Boxing or MMA or something where he might get hurt? He has posted some pretty vile crap ("You want me to *uck you up the Ass" etc" repeatedley to Seikyo) which has quickly been deleted. He talks about chasing Pussy. Yet claims to be a Christian. He won't "pay the price" for anything. He won't read a Trading Book and ruins every trading Thread. Why people help a person of such poor character is a wonder.
