Pro or Amateur?

[William Waller]

Got it the wrong way round mate, it's far more fun getting plastred.

I disagree with Mr. Rothschild in at least one obvious respect - for me my primary aim is not to maximise my return, my primary aim is to not blow up.

A good lesson to learn AN. Capital preservation is paramount, as after all capital is the only indispensable tool. When one realises this, one has gone a long way to curing that curse of the newbie, the "need to trade".

Yes but you have several hundred thousand pounds cash money on deposit.

 

[N Rothschild]

You make a powerful argument in a most elegant style. I congratulate you.

Sir William

Why thankyou.

Also im not sure what this fantasy land is that you refer to?

 

[N Rothschild]

I regret that I do not understand you - why would a former banned member require an alias? Surely, once reinstated, he would return as himself?

Understand this, N Rothschild (if that is your real name) - I am THE EXPERT. What makes me THE EXPERT? I have THE EXPERTISE.

I jest, of course. To answer your question, I am none of them, for I have never been banned. I am however enjoying my stay in your fantasy land immensely.

Sir William

So, your a new member yet know all about TEH EXPERT. Intresting..

Aliases/Multi nicks are for mincers.

My aim with a £250 spread betting account would not be capital preservation.

But as far as I'm concerned I want to keep this job indefinitely*, for the lifestyle if for no other reason, and that requires not blowing up.

*Maybe one day I'll become a criminal barrister or pilot. They look fun.

Alas! Logic is not your forte - may I suggest that you stick to dreaming up an imaginary past for yourself?

It is not necessary to be a member of this forum to view it. It is therefore possible to know a little (who would claim to know all there is to know about the enigma that is THE EXPERT?) about him without having been a member during his all too brief time here.

Your reference to "mincers" is thoroughly charming - you should be proud of yourself.

It is when your Dante and thats your last 250 bonus on a new spread bet account

Imaginary past, i like it.

The lifestyle point is well made. Leaving aside the absurd question of what makes a professional trader, the question of what makes a successful trader is far more interesting.

Money is of course a big part of it, but lifestyle, if not equally important, is highly significant nonetheless.

I am delighted to hear it.

Now young Rothschild, I feel that you have been indulged sufficiently on my thread. I must ask you therefore to vacate it and allow more serious persons to make their contributions.

Sir William

Go to another thread if you want to talk about that. Stop hijacking this one. Nobody wants to hear you. We are here to have a laugh.

 

[luckyd1976]

lol Sir William you crack me up

Quite, this william character seems to have a rather high opinion of himself. do one.

You'd fit in well. You already have the vices

and as for how long this will continue I'd guess McQ is already warming up the eraser

Participation probably prohibits me, otherwise I would gladly take a piece of that action.

Great quote. Didn't know Cicero spoke English.

 

[William Waller]

Great quote. Didn't know Cicero spoke English.

A devastating riposte - I am humbled.

I had not considered that it should be necessary to speak foreign tongues in order to benefit from the wisdom of those who are not our countrymen, given the ready availability of translators (or, in this case, translations), but clearly the idea has merit.

Sir William

 

[scose-no-doubt]

here's one for you to translate "prétentieux"
and another "bâtard"

I'm off.
