It's my hunch it's the same demographic (winners vs losers) as anywhere (whatever that demographic might be). Do you sincerely believe forums are only frequented by losers? I wonder what your motivation for being here is if that's the case? Personally I don't agree, having got to know a few people behind the screen names I think you might be very surprised.
my P&L or anyone elses P&L has absolutely nothing to do with the veracity of Brooks methods or any other methods. To be honest that whole notion is absurd. Again I am not trying to be confrontational but felt it needed saying. |
I would like to clarify if i may.
Considering a fact that 95% of people attempting to trade loose money,,does make me belive that most people visiting forums are not profitable.
In my case, i mentioned before that i will be trading this methods on paper untill the end of August.
And my only reason being here, sharing and communicating with people is to make the paper trading and new method learning experience more productive and ease the learning curve, sort of a "study group" with people who have the same goal.
However, lack of motivation and cooperation from people, except a select few, simply made me change my mind. That's all.
Call it selfish, but if i'm trading 2 hours a day, making 4 digits a day, why would i bother posting charts, or sharing what im doing.
Regarding the 3 point gain today, that doesn't mean people who participate this specific forum are profitable traders and make that much every day. In fact, this question was asked in the chat room, out of 12 people i belive only 2 were trading real money.
I'm not defending what i said, simply trying to eliminate misunderstanding.
I'm spending over 8 hours a day reading, analyzing historical charts and working on other trading related issues that can improve my overall performance, and if someone could pinpoint things that i see wrong or what i don't see , that mutual effort would be very much welcomed, but lack of it,,,,....
Good luck.
I am inclined to agree with you that only 5, 10 or maybe 20% (if you buy in to the pareto principle) of people that visit forums make money. I got the impression from your first post that you thought that once people got into those upper echelons they cease to post just leaving the rest. That was what I did not buy into.
