What was that 70s song - it went sort of -

Don't trust the man who spreads the burning sand with water, cool clear water

might have been talking about trading or maybe a fore-warning of that phoenix Tony B liar ?

i haven't properly traded with real money yet but the fact is that nothing out of a book has helped me. sure they can give you rules and methods which make you money in the mean time, but don't markets change? what happens if something stops working? fine for the guy who made the rules, maybe he created them from a deep understanding of markets and so he can adapt, but for the sheep they can't figure out how to adapt because they haven't learnt anything from real experience but just from a book and so they don't understand how markets work and can't create rules from their own observations

The sheep will need to buy another book, or course, or system, or room subscription or better still stop being sheep

The scammers will plagiarize books , make clones of books, rename them and rebrand them.The sites like scamazon will delete bad reviews and only publish the lies.

The system scammers will plagiarise systems,make clones ,rename systems and rebrand freely available systems.They will appear on Zulucollective system sellers sites.

The training scammers will hang around the net offering training education.If only how they knew how to trade themselves.Why not give them a book with the game plan?

Who's that little chappy looking all happy with his lollipop? Did his Bollingers work for once?

I remember my voiced changing and deepening when my Bollingers dropped.

oildaytrader started this thread There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great trader and writer.

When asked to elaborate, he said, "I want to write stuff that traders will read, stuff that traders will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"

He trades failed trends .failed breakouts and failed strategies waiting for the day indicators stop lying.
