Joe, you are really overestimating the significance of having Ph.D. )) But I like your encouragement. :thumbsup:

Teaching kittens to swim by soaking them into the water? :D

Yes, I am aware of the emotional side when trading. That's why an ability to stick to a system (even if it's not universal) seems very important. You mean that the chances to lose are (much) greater than the chances to win? But that's simply the probability theory. ;)

Not really, I barely soaked my feet into it. )

Thank you. I realise that scientific education is not necessarily an advantage when it comes to trading, but I suppose it shouldn't be much of a drawback eithier, should it?.. :) The rest of your points are taken.

Too late NVP, I have already been thoroughly scared off of Forex :D

I don't think so :D If it were, most of you here would be millionaires and wouldn't even talk to a simple guy like me ))) I can't agree more with you on that. But I am not looking for shortcuts but rather for an accelerated learning if possible.

jabba917, thanks for your thoughts - these are obvious things but we do need to be reminded of them now and then.

It depends. If the system is not easily scalelable meaning that you can only do that much unless you outsource some jobs or hire and train others to do them for you, there comes a point when selling the system can become more profitable than using it yourself. Often the amount of money you can...

Not my cup of team, I can't stand bull****ting people. Got the flavour! :D Makes perfect sense to me. :)

Aesop20, thanks for the advice. This gives me a better feel of what time frames are involved to start real trading. Might consider futures, thank you. I am not fulled by promises of easy riches, I can clearly see through all this BS. What I am after instead is making living from home working...

Well, al least to some degree where there is a consistency? Say if a strategy works 1 time out of 10, it's still better than complete randomness. Thanks, I will consider these.

Shakone, Aesop20, pboyles - thanks very much guys for you helpful replies and comments, they have indeed been very helpful to me. I will not go into forex.

If they are both pure gambling, why you gamble on Forex not roulette? You don't have any strategies up your sleeve at all? :rolleyes:

Is that what you are doing in your spare time?
