why are people so lazy?

Well,said!

maybe you two are right and there's some lazy people, but i'm not sure about that word describing this subject, the right word can be greedy, can be taking advantage of nave good guys, can be a word for other reasons but not sure about laziness as a reason, and of course from another angle saying that ppl are too lazy to understand can be an excuse for a failure or scam, and i see that always on the web specially when talking about the trading world
and when someone ask you "whats margin ?" there's only two answers for the why question "he is joking or he really don't know", i can see why you think that they are lazy to have a simple google answer or something like that its becuz u two are an advanced users thats exactly why, so u see some questions super silly, for example first time i open a facebook i open it with my real full name 2 days later my friend have a laugh at me and tell me to change my name on facebook, 8 years later i become a guy that can laugh at that advanced friend anytime if i chose to,, but i chose to thank him always for only one thing instead of loling at him on many occasions, "i become a guy who know that if u write ur real full name or a fake name on fb the right guys can know u for sure" u see how much is good sharing knowledge if u can understand what i mean exactly ofc

regards

problem with a lot of traders they see the greed before they trade and a get rich scheme want it now no time to learn and go from one disaster to another

Good stuff, that was the first book I listened to about trading. Psychology is everything, with money management.

trading is math not a psychology
hope, depression has nothing to do with ur yearly performance

but that just me, maybe i am wrong, let the ppl speech ofc

Nice thread D and a favorite topic of mine.....but there is a twist in it.

It is ALL about the brain as this is your device to interpret the reality. Maths is a tool and secondary....the brain is the real deal and primary.

Real learning occurs as the teacher....not the student. If you understand the Pareto principle and a bit about the heuristic tricks of the brain then the lightbulb clicks and you find the power of learning lies with the teacher. So while laziness of the student may be frustrating, stick with it as the benefits of the interaction actually lie with the teacher....not the student.

Learning is a non-linear exercise like most of natures tricks as the mind is a complex system. To get the necessary edge in the mind to outcompete the masses the effort needs to be first placed in the foundational stones of the subject matter....but this is not where real learning occurs, but the core assumptions of your mental model upon which you test ideas internally in your head against these benchmarks.

The best way to accelerate your learning is to progressively build on these foundational stones through question and answer which allow you to unite ideas from several disciplines or perspectives etc. to make bigger stones. You may be familiar with symmetries in complex systems as in the different ways principles can appear and express themselves but in reality they are simply different interpretations of the same underlying principle. Well by being forced to reiterate the same thing in different ways to students you are continuously revisiting your foundation stones and testing them and reshaping them and this is where the learning exponentially accelerates as you find that lurking deep within the apparent complexity is simplicity as the foundation stones connect, unify, get bigger yet simpler at the same time.

Now what I mean by learning is not simply the regurgitation of facts which any old AI can do....but the ability to take the next step and expand the knowledge base or more importantly to create new ideas. This is where you will find the edge in trading or indeed any knowledge pursuit. You need to go where the competition isn't to harvest alpha.

Don't be too pissed off with the lazy man. They ultimately achieve no higher learning....but they certainly help the teacher to achieve enlightenment :-)

Have a look at Einstein and Feynman's methods of explanation of complex topics. You would naturally think that their outputs would be complex....but in fact they are perhaps the most concise pieces of learning that you ever have read that most lay men could pick up in an instant. It has to be to gain acceptance by the masses in the uncharted waters where their minds reside. Their knowledge of the subject matter has made them excellent teachers...but the deception is in the simplicity to understand what is really going on deep down within their brains.

So the next time you hear the expression....those who can't trade teach....then have a good laugh and realise who has the last laugh. The learning occurs as the teacher....not the student. The learning is magnified by applied teaching methods...not the simple absorption of information which is the necessary prelude to real learning.

Build those foundational stones across an array of disciplines and you will then have a glimpse of the real power of non-linear learning as applied to this universe. Specialisation is not the answer as it leads to dead ends where learning stops...diversification is....to all non-linear systems :-)

I know, right?

thank you for posting, great post!

psychology has a 100% to do with trading, you could have the holy grail system, but if you cant get your "mind right"
you will lose.
'

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying don't help anyone.
I like helping people and sharing indicators.
people have helped me and shared their knowledge and indicators.
with me. what I am saying is this when a thread has clear rules
on how to trade the system whatever it may be and gives you the tools to trade it. and the OP shows you how to trade his or her system,
is it so hard to read the thread to find the answers for your self. .

i can say every thing you say is true , my other saying is """lifes a bitch but i keep moving forward""""

thank you for posting! very well said.

Yes I am a very lazy trader and my reasons are:-

1. I don't want to waste my times reading all the stupid posts and all the thousands of 20/20 charts and useless indicators and EA.
2. I refuse to believe all those misleading false gurus with red diamonds telling you how successful they are and getting banned after they are exposed.
3. I don't find much useful posts except the trading calendars section.
4. Some post are so ludicrous and bombastic that I develop a natural aversion just reading them.
5. I love to see how scammers set up their traps and baits hooking up unsuspecting traders.
6. Watching all the boot-lickers cheering and flattering the false gurus then disappear after learning they are fooled.
7. Passing my time while watching my trade play out.
8. There nothing for me to learn which I don't already know.

That's why I am so so lazy. Oh btw it's my last post in this .'....... thread becos again I m so lazy.

Hehe

Here's one now, lol. He wants to code a lame strategy and force me to trade it against him, lol. Not sure why? Egomaniac? Really, he wants to know my tools and is really, really, really mad I won't tell him. These are the kind of people lurking in the forum. Can't talk about trading. Just come here to bully people. Imagine him trying this to my face, LOL. Funny. Oh well. I got him on Ignore so he can't infect my stuff, but that doesn't stop him from trashing other people's threads. Sorry he followed me here. Psycho.

LOL. Sound just like dukas. No means no. Wasn't interested before. Not interested now. Won't be interested in the future. Stop posting your BS on this guy's thread. Like I said, if you like the strategy, then go trade it. I really don't care. I don't like the strategy and I certainly do not like you. Go try to bully someone else to be your friend.
