Quoting diallistDislikedYour post per day ratio has been low lately. So you "owe" us a good one.Ignored
like i said, i have a hard time explaining it, but it has to do with the tricks the market plays on you. you can easily be tricked into thinking you have a long-run-profitable system, when in fact, you do not. i always look back on my learning experiences and say "what a fool i was". its like you are a constant fool. i look back on my trading from just a year or two ago and still think the same thing.. "what a fool i was". right now there are thousands of new traders who just had a good 3 month run, and they think they have mastered the market, but soon they will realize they did not. after this failure they will be on a new level. then they build/trade a new system and again they think they have the key to the market, and again they fail a few months later. so you go through these cycles, or levels of trading. you have to win then fail on each level. any there is no way to get to level 10 (the long-term money making level) unless you have been on level 9, 8, 7, 6.... all these levels take a long time to pass, sometimes a single level can take a year to pass. the better your system is, the longer it will take to fail, so that can extend the duration of the level.
so thats why i think it takes a long time to become sucessful, its the duration of the levels and the inability for a normal human to skip levels 2-9.
btw, these are not my ideas, i just had a long conversation with a very good friend of mine and we were talking about this very idea, and he made me realize the truth in this argument.
anyway, i know this probably makes no sense to those people who are on level 1, but you will get what im saying when you get to level 3 or 4.
now send me my damn yo-yo dial!!!!!
Relax and be happy.
