Why Do We Trade? For Real.

Discussion in 'Psychology' started by cornix, Mar 10, 2015.

  1. The thing is people need to start somewhere.
    And, as every approach actually works - in the right hands ( important)- it is to
    the person to make it work for oneself.
    If they can discuss with someone trading a certain way, then may be, the discussion
    will allow the person to understand how to make it work quicker.

    And no wonder yours betray so much ignorance.

  4. My logic is impeccable, therefore you must attack the messeger. How trite.

    There is nothing logical about your argument, partly because you are unable to define your terms properly and partly because it's anecdotal. And there is the entire cognitive bias issue. No need to go there.

  6. LOL. You defined your issue to the T. 100% of your evidence is anecdotal. Time for me to get back to work.

    So it's down to Am Not, Are Too? Not surprised you're quitting the field.

    "Live and let live" is not in MS' vocabulary.

  10. it's still a great thread. I have seen the damage done by the naive yet very seductive "sellers of the dream" Its not a pretty sight. When I see obvious nonsense, i call it out and try to explain why it isn't reality. Heck, even Cornix was nearly seduced by marketing for god's sake! imagine the damage had it been a "mentor" who befriended him first OR if he didn't posess the reasoning ability to see the folly before too much was lost. These gurus only exist on the internet (price action)--- the real world fails to show any evidence. surf
