Why the F...would anyone care about proving anything to you in a first place? It's YOUR job as a trader to be able to decipher amongst the fake and real. If you can’t tell the difference between the scam and real after you spend some time in someone’s trading room than you have no reason to be trading in a first place.
People that make money trading don’t need to prove anything to anyone unless they trying to market their service. And if you can’t tell by looking at their service if they real or not, then you have bigger issues….
I obviously did. And I am simply amazed by a level of immaturity on most of the answers and question on it. This place has really become a dump...most of the people advising or posting have very little understanding as to what it takes to be a consistent trader. And the worst part of that, they are not being prevented from doing so....
Then you havent looked hard enough..Brian Watts trades live several times a week with full viewing of REAL account, trades taken and discussion and is consistently Very profitable..oh and he does it on MES on top of that and os NOT selling anything..he is a scale trader and while not my style ..he is very consistent AND profitable!
I think the pandemic has brought out some people that might otherwise not be trading.
My approach is complete dedication. My wife and I work as a team in that she helps me to keep a rigid schedule. We wake and drink freshly squeezed cucumber, citrus juice with added magnesium. We then eat 1 egg and rye toast. An hour later we go on a 1-2 hour run in the forest. For lunch I make a large super-food green shake followed by a hearty macro-biotic mostly vegan meal (i like eggs and meat). After lunch, I spend the day researching historical data for when every dip larger than 20 points occurred in the last 10 years. I study the math and logic and technical aspect of every known strategy, indicator, etc. to improve my overall grasp in order to improve my personal strategy. I have also spent a great deal of energy and time on risk reduction with small details such as multiple accounts with multiple brokers. I even coded in python a web-based risk to reward margin tracker that connects to Das Trader and NinjaTrader and this week I am working on a connection to TradingView. My strategy was almost entirely scalping and now has morphed into trend flow, hold for 10 min to 2 hours with very WIDE tick stop-loss to prevent getting stopped out of the trade. I go to sleep reading abut trading strategies and I even dream about trading. This is my way, I give my entire focus to trading. I was a Buddhist Tibetan monk for 8 years and I find Buddhist practice very similar to trading. Frankly speaking, I think to earn a real income that totally supports your family you need this kind of dedication. So when people half-ass trading and come to the conclusion that it does not work or they get tripped up from listening to so-called "guru's", this is why they do not see a steady income.
So you see, in my opinion, trading is very easy to succeed with total dedication and focus. Most will not want to give this trade the attention it deserves.
I am working on releasing my strategy and journey by posting an Elite Journal. I think people will be astonished by how much money you can earn if you give your complete focus to this craft.
Persistence! Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not ... nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not ... Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not ... The world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent! Calvin Coolidge
If there's gold in the mountains it makes sense to ask the miners, not the guys selling the tools. I don't understand why people are being so aggressive towards me (not you), but I do now understand how it came across. Since then I've learnt a lot and I'm not in the same frame of mind. Thanks for you help, I really appreciate it.
If there's gold in the mountains it makes sense to ask the miners, not the guys selling the tools. I don't understand why you were so aggressive towards me. If I was in your situation I'd help a young man out. Maybe brokerage statements might be too far, but I definitely wouldn't have responded like you did.
I understand how it came across but it was written out of frustration because of lack of information. Since then I've learnt a lot and I'm not in the same frame of mind.
