But, what I would win, if I would fool others, and much more worse myself?

Anyway within my transition to real trades again,
I have not even scratched the potential I see within my current charts.

Call me a fool, I don't care!


Time will tell.

Well, it's good that you are making money in sim. No sense going live if you can't make it in sim.

There is a huge difference between sim and real trading. Then and only then will you deal with your personal demons. In addition, you become a part of the order flow instead of trading off of prices that never leave your computer. Do not think for a moment that adding your 1 contract to the order flow won't make a difference.

Most day traders I know take a lot of small losses trying to get positioned and these guys are survivors who are making money.

I am not accusing any individual specifically of making up thier results, but seeing back to back to back winning days without a loss puts my BS radar on alert.

And, if you are supposed to be learning from all this, seeing bs is not going to help you. In fact, it will hurt you since you may think that you are lacking or not good if you can't consistently achieve the same results.

Thanks,

I am bored of this discussion about sim vs. real,

I still go in line with Pimind on this issue.

Sim to prepare (as long as necessary),
then real (as soon as possible).

Well, also Thales seems to be right once more.


Regards,

Hal


P.S.: As I said, I don't care.

You can add when you are properly capitalized to that list.

But as traders aren't we enemies? Why help eachother out and make our enemy stronger, when the point of trading is to win?

I am missing Brown!

Please, come back and join us again!

But maybe because I am usually more analytic, I am becoming so emotional.

You know the old saying, "Birds of feather ..."

and of course that other old saw that "Misery loves company." Seems to me you'd fit in better over there.

No need to bring your miserable suspicions here. I have not seen one person posting here in this thread attempt to sell anyone anything. If someone were to do so, then we'd react. You, on the other hand, assume us guilty until proven innocent. Again, that is the ET mentality, not TL.

The fact that you, and apparently all the day traders whom you profess to know have yet to learn to trade consistently is no fault of ours. Don't expect us to wear your black eyes.

You don't really believe that, do you?

The only person you have to beat as a trader is yourself.

If a trader helps other traders out on how to make money then there is too many people doing the same thing, and the method won't work anymore. For every winner there is a loser in the market, so helping other traders out is helping your enemy. That's the way I see it. I hope I'm wrong.
