I trade to fuck the world like I owned them. How about that Ronda? Does it sound like a good motivation?

{quote} Trading is not a real job. It's a pie in the sky, piped dream, fantasy that some work on to try to solve a real problem in heir lives. As an escape from their current condition to something they think will be better... It's total delusion. So you hate your boss, your real job and all the crap that comes with it. Retail Forex is not the solution. ... let's see.. with a real job when shit happens in your life you can take sick days or vacation or work out something with the boss and still get paid ! Imagine in trading when shit happens and...
A job is doing a set tasks in a manner that is set forth by your employer, right?

If you a trader you do a set of task that is set forth by youself. Now if those tasks do not give you the desired results, do not blame the industry, blame yourself. That is like blaming the construction industry because you bought a terrible house at a terrible price, and now you are upside down in it. That is simply dumb, Ming.

{quote} Here's mine... Consistency by definition is a measurement of quality of ___??_____ that does not decay over time (or stays within an acceptable margin of +/- variance) __?__ could be monthly income, average loss/win, profit factor, winrate, application of trading plan/rules, etc etc Why trade if we cannot have some concrete expectation of a possible outcome from this endeavor ?
Sorry man, I don't know what any of that means....

{quote} Consistency is hard to achieve however it is a requirement to succeed in trading. You can have shit day at work and still get paid. You can be sick at work and still get paid. But if you have a shit day at trading you get wiped out.
tru dat.

on the flip side, i have to be somewhat presentable and act decent while at work. but in trading, i can jack off to ebony porn in bed and still pull off thousands

You don't get wiped out if you have ANY kind of clue as to what you are doing. No, you do not get paid every day. But you will get paid at some point. Do you know any commission based real estate agents?

{quote} Good Video. My son is a rock star in mario brothers.. rules are still static (although a large variation, they are all known and could be learnt from). The obstables and challenges are also all known and programmed and more importantly, they are TIMED. The unknown factor of time when something can happen in FX is a challenge
I was wondering if we;re able to make such FX machine learning algo that can learn particular trading strategy. How could we test it and store the mistakes it learned of the past so it can give the best trade decision?

What is fuck is wrong with this picture?
I have to admit that Oanda really solidified my confidence after the CHF fiasco. They guaranteed all of the stops in that pair.

Any way you look at it. Don't call it a job if you want. I don't. Is playing at the black jack table a real job ?
Complete garbage because it does not work is correct.
Pay the rent with a real job, lose money in Retail Forex as a hobby..
Some people like gardening, so they will buy 50 dollars worth of supply to grow 2 tomatoes worth 50 cents. They enjoy gardening ... but better I think, to be the one who gets the 50 bucks (:

Let every one trade for what ever reason.
Why should I care about your reason or his reason or her reason or their reason why do trading.
In the end, we in this to make money.
So why the pointless argument?
