Last Words of a Trader

Recommended Posts

I sometimes look at the last words of traders. Unfortunately, most are merely standard conversation, not at all what I would have thought last words would be.

 

Try it next time you're reading an old thread. When you come across a member who you don't know, click his name and select "View public profile". See when he was last on Traders Laboratory. If it's over a year ago, the chances are he isn't coming back. Select Statistics - "Find all posts by (trader)" and then have at look.

 

Most people seem to disappear after posting relatively normal unremarkable posts.

 

I do wonder what happens to them. I like to think that they have discovered their own holy grail of life and are living happily ever after.

 

 

Maybe they just get tiered of the the same old conversations that just go round the houses? Especially when half the stuff is just reiterated 'trading for dummies' that one sees everywhere else eg, 2% risk, TA, blah blah blah.....

 

A wannabe trader either comes to realise it's all crap and becomes a trader, or he learns all this stuff until he can recite it in his sleep, spouts it all over the internet, becomes a guru, but still a wannabe trader.

We are all whatever we want to be.

 

Not many people seem to say goodbye. It's nice when they do.

 

If they're a master and say that they're leaving because they don't want to be here anymore, then that's nice because at least we don't find ourselves wondering what happened to them. Sometimes they leave for another board and we can go to that new board to see them. When we do that it's like meeting an old friend.

 

If they're a novice and have decided that trading is not for them, then it's nice if they say goodbye because we can then wish them all the very best, in the hope that they leave trading to go on to do something that makes them happy.

dont see whats wrong with this. i know a couple of small hedge fund managers that trade nothing but technicals and theyre all successful.

 

yea same here, I just trade technicals. Only pay attention to catalysts that can overturn any technical.

I think we are missing the point here - this thread is meant to be a light-hearted laugh at ourselves and others ...

who make statements just before they are wiped out.

 

... FUN ...

 

I am surprised that people can not understand a light-hearted thread when they see one.

 

The issue has nothing to do with whether TA works or does not work - the majority of people on

the forum are committed TA traders.

Technical Analysis is giving you a huge edge....just think for a second

for all losers that are using it....:2c:

Now that's not funny, Mr_Black!

 

Now I AM worried!

 

If we are all losing, then it's because of the TA ... ?

 

Maybe those supply/demand level traders are correct.

 

If so, then your quote: "Technical Analysis is giving you a huge edge" puts the joke on us!

 

That really WOULD be the last words of a trader!

 

"I am currently looking at another approach ... "

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
