Ummm correction: your mechanical trading is bull****.

I've been using mechanical systems for years, and wouldn't have it any other way.

Which group you will eventually be in remains to be seen. It is largely irrelevant whether any individual trader has blown up and consequently made it.

You blow up through excessive risk, which you may or may not have been aware of.

It's not a particularly smart thing to do. People that do it claim to have learnt their lesson. Usually the lesson is - "don't go all in". It's all down to risk appetite & greed.

I'll admit to being a plodder when it comes to trading. I do not aspire to becoming the next George Soros.

of course it was excessive risk. i have 100% tolerance to risk. it does not bother me..which is obviously a very bad trait to have.

When I've built up a big enough pot to have a go I'll find out.

you dont even trade lol, yet you spout out bs like your the messiah.

i may say alot of outrageous things on here, but i do actually have a couple of feathers in my cap.

I started off barely risking anything when I traded. Should I have a big draw, then I will go back to barely risking anything and only size up if I got my confidence back.

So there's no reason, you just don't think you will, fair enough.

Messiah? I've been chatting with a few people on a message board about things I've experienced and studied. If you want to continue to use this place to measure your c*ck (small I'm assuming given the degree of compensatory blabber you put forth) in between blowing up accounts then that's your business. I'm here to learn from people.

You saying I spout BS is rich. You were Mugabe's doctor last week weren't you? And going to LSE for a £60k masters before that?

Actually the only thing you say that has any discernible substance is that you've blown high five/low six figure accounts that your dad or someone boxed off for you.

The feathers in your cap are worth about as much as the sh1tty ones on a chickens ar5e.

Maybe it wasn't so stupid after all.

you clearly cant read can you.

because i wanted to study economics ages ago means i said i was going to do a 60k masters at lse?

i have never denied blowing up. but a) it wasnt a high 5 figure account and b) my daddy had nothing to do with it.

i have debated studying medicine for years, so that means i said i am Mugabe's doctor?

no wonder you dont understand markets if the facts get so badly fudged in your brain.
