Disliked{quote} Yet the overall majority fail, so your statement is a contradiction. There are many reasons why so few succeed, but one of them is not because trading is easy.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Which is the hard part, and which most fail to do. Listen, enough of this ' trading is easy ' nonsense. Despite the odd person who claims otherwise, I and thousands of other traders out there know it is one of the most difficult skills they have ever attempted to master, if not the most difficult. There are a great many reasons why trading is so hard, and there have been many valid discussions concerning this on this forum over the years. I cannot however ever remember seeing a discussion on why trading was so easy! In my opinion anyone...Ignored
DislikedMy "secret/edge" is simple: 1. I AVOIDED seemingly intelligent, but unprofitable traders -- the MAJORITY here with "so much to say" with so little results -- like the plague. 2. I sought out ONE real multi-millionaire trader who could PROVE his results and was equally as good an instructor as he is a trader (difficult, rare find). So "few" profitable, teach. I knew if I wanted to be a millionaire, ONLY listen to millionaires, and keep THEIR company, not losers who frequent forums giving their version "sage" advice. The secret is to actually cease...Ignored
Disliked{quote} When did I say I didn't accept that most traders lose? I mention it several times. Since you also do not know what I do, I respectfully dismiss your criticism too. As for quants, is that some kind of science for people trying to be correct? I trade zones. The day I stopped trying to be precise was the day I started making successful trades, over and over.

Disliked{quote} Sir... ...THANK YOU! You're one of the FEW who actually get it. And, "no", what I shared was no "copy n' paste" job. It came straight from the heart. If there are a some similarities in what I said others have said, so be it, but I have not seen anyone really tell the TRUTH... ...and that is NO ONE in this forum (99%) is qualified to give their "wisdom" because they're failures. Point. Blank. Period. It's a bitter pill to swallow and reality few so-called traders accept because of EGO. But the first step I had to take before winning in trading...Ignored
