I'm perfectly fine with that. I didn't say that people don't make consistent money trading. There are poker players who make consistent money... just the idea that it is gambling doesn't automatically mean that you can't make money doing it. My ...

I completely agree with you man. After many years of believing that there was a way to predict outcome, and being frustrated over and over, I realized that for a small fish such as myself, its nothing more than a fancy gambling game with the odds ...

Haha I knew it! Excellent post man. Rock on!

Not saying that this isnt real... (cuz I subscribed myself) but... March 31st is the day before which day boys and girls?

Very interesting thread and conversation going on here... I really appreciate you sharing your experience and information here hanover. More traders need to empty their cups and read/absorb posts like these. In my experience, trading is a ...

Awesome thread idea cat! I know exactly what you speak of and totally support your efforts! This thread could help many people. And not just to to get sympathy, but also to directly confront the trauma that they have brought on themselves, and ...
