    You know what they say: if you think probability theory is easy - you don't understand probability theory. Exact same thing applies to trading, I really doubt any seasoned trader will ever tell you trading is easy.

  2. Not accurate at all. It's far from easy. Why do you think there is more vendors than successful traders?

  3. like Yogi [may have] said - it's 90% work, and the other half is skill

    i think some people Do have a gift for certain things,
    whether it be sports, chess, music [certainly not me] etc etc etc

    Some consistently make the correct and strategical steps, while others hesitate to do it.

    Good idea, as no good leaving all that money behind you for others to spend, when you are 6 foot under and pushing up daisies :D

    I have to disagree, but, coming from one who openly states he knows nothing, it does not really mean much.

    Trading is very easy, once you know what you have to do, and then, the hard bit, actually do it!

    By the way most people talk on these sites, one would be led to believe that they are some kind of experts, or, an even dumber word, a "professional trader" :rolleyes:

    WTF, all you need to make money trading, is, a bit of cop on, acess to adequate capital, and be smart enough to know that when you are wrong, you are in fact, wrong!

    Wishy washy thinking leads to wishy washy actions - trading is not for wishy washey people!

    There is nothing "easy" about trading modern exchange-cleared markets. Especially if the goal is success over a protracted period of time.
