When I joined T2W it was a good place to learn.

Do you read posts in the various sub forums? There are plenty of helpful threads from a year ago, 2 years ago etc etc. I bet that if you went over them you would learn a lot more now that your understanding has increased. I'm sure every question has been asked and answered before, you just need to look harder.

On the other hand, I also feel that in this game you can't be spoon fed. You can be shown winning strategies all day long but until you get a real feel for what is going on (which can only be through putting your money on the table) I don't think that you can even start to become successful.

at the end of the day what do good traders actually get out of handing over their system and calls that they sweated blood for?

not everyone has a "system" genics. as i keep saying on here there are many ways to skin a cat.

when i say system i just mean trading style in general and how to actually trade

It would probably also help if you didn't insult almost all the traders who try to help you...

As a newbie myself I completely agree about delving deeper into the past. IMO there is a huge amount of excellent information on this forum - you just have to spend some (a lot of) time looking for it. In my very limited experience all the ingredients to get a solid foundation in learning to trade are here....

I return insults arabian. Except for Mr Ch*rts. I'd rather starve and die than listen to him.
