looking back my life, i have same sadness as Al Pacino elaborated in Scent of Women.
i don't remember clearly though i love that scene very much. the colonel said: everytime in my life, when i face a cross road. one way is hard, and the other is easy. i always chose the easy one....... and now i regret......
something like that, i don't care if i remember right, but i do more and more realise the meaning of it.
but this is trading forum, this is about trading, why this hard easy crap???
i feel it is same now. when a man(or lady) approaches this business, it needs same hard/easy attitude to make it. i have to always select the 'hard' way to finally make it in this game.
i never bothered to post to warn so-called newbies NOT to do this or that as i have been a rookie too. but i feel a newbie trying to be successful here must understand the "hard" way is the way to go, NEVER take the easy way.
so don't just drag a fancy EA from a forum and expect to be rich. Even if the EA is really a great profitable system, you still cannot make money. right, that's because it is an 'easy' way. and one more observation: you can easily become/find a competent coder, but not so true for a profitable trader.
don't try to beat the market without analysis and plan but with a grid/martingale system. right, you'll lose, since it is an 'easy' way.
don't try to follow some bigshots' big shouts of buy xxx sell yyy now. you'll lose, since it is also an "easy" way.
and the "hard" way is all the things you run away from by doing "easy" crap above.
I get deeper and deeper understanding of this 'hard' and 'easy' after hundreds of hours testing in trading simulators. Ultimately, it has to be you to trade.
