DislikedAs a trader you contribute nothing to the world. If you want to believe the hype about how we add market liquidity, go right ahead. Im sure the Forex and equity mkts need more traders desperately or they will fold, right? So, to me, the beauty of this game is to share the experience with a room or at least a small group of other traders and build each other up. And then, unless you are a total ass, give 5 or 10% of what you make away to people who have nothing, or get a fellow trader who needs a stake started. Contribute something! Give something...Ignored
I read your post many times... had many angles to your thoughts...
I agree we might not be contributing anything to society i agree on that with being FX people but but we can contribute with the money we earn from this...
About ur spiritual defination i would say go for it....make some brotherood...
But what this thread is about how this alone times brings the real self in front of you....i know many people who have grown old but havent listened one time themselves clearly... in trading u have to listen to yourself and then if you stick long ago you have to confront your worst nightmares adn take them head on....
Rest brother i hope
While we are growing old i hope we all grow UP as well
