What are you on about? I don’t care what problems new traders have, they’re not my problems, nor are they my responsibility. If I’ve helped any with anything I’ve said, great, but I’m not bloody Mother Teresa. The real problem is there is no bar to entry. Any damn fool can open a spot FX account with a few hundred. And they do. No knowledge, no experience, no training, no idea really. That’s not my fault. Do you know of any other commercial enterprise where you can expect to get up and running with no overheads, capital, knowledge, experience or training? Yet they do. I re-read several times your bit about ‘what gets posted here’ and it hit me - if the microcosm this site is, is an accurate representation of the whole, then I understand the problem. An almost indignant expectation that someone should show them the magic indicator they can slap on a chart and treat FX like an ATM. No need to study, research, think. No need for even basic levels of intelligence let alone smarts. Need a few quid? Then just pull up a chart wait for the arrow to blink buy or sell and grab the winnings. They might just as well take their few hundred down the bookies. I genuinely believe the majority have no idea that you need to understand The Market as a whole, all the inter-related parts and aspects – you can’t just get away with spot FX and maybe a bit of technical analysis. I thought you knew this, but maybe you’re not a trader which is why I get this rubbish that you appear feel I should be apologising for my inability to understand their plight.
Your problem son is that you don’t know what your point is. You get as far as you need to into one of my posts to give you something that you think you can take issue with (erroneously) and fail to read any further. Or if you do read it, you clearly fail to comprehend it. You then decide what impressions I have formed based on your failure to read or understand what I’ve said. Again, not my problem. If new traders have fear, greed, lack of discipline, over-leverage and under-capitalise – that’s their problem. They’re numbnuts. I didn’t take you for one, but I’ve been wrong before.
In your previous post you raised points which I addressed. I suggested the probable primary reasons for those negative emotions you mentioned and even possible solutions which could be attempted by way of resolution. Did you read any of that? I might not be adding anything to the store of knowledge which could assist a new trader, but if the problem now is the same as it was when you joined this site, clearly your efforts in this area have been no more successful than mine. The difference is, I’m not in your face the whole time talking snipes at everything you post. And don’t worry about appearing to be rude: “P!ss poor people skills, out of touch, totally and completely missed the point” are what I have for breakfast each morning. Doesn’t faze me at all, but makes you look like a bit of a stalker.
I'm likely wasting my time.
