I like Sonic, in my view he's a good bloke, but I'm gonna politely disagree with him here.

I think tar is correct in his earlier post. Trading is not about promoting unrealistic rates of return or focusing on ego as jessi was doing. Rather it's about finding an edge(s), and being able to trade that edge.

Just my 2c. No offense to anyone intended.

Matey, i never take offence, i didn't mean that kind of gambling made sense, i just said its possible, and i didn't see why there had to be a witch hunt if he made a genuine mistake....anyway its all become boring......C'ya.

I don't think he was actually "promoting unrealistic rates of return" even if he was daft enough make the claim. Nor, as you read through his posts, did he seem to be on the oft seen ego trip. If you offered constructive criticism about the sort of set ups (see his new thread) he uses or his trade management then it'd be much better in my view.

Nice on on U.S. equities btw :)
 
the dust of that cannon shell has not settled yet... and I am sure ashes will fly for some time and irritate the few peoples health.... :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
 
on that note....

Bonds are less risky than equities...
equities are less risky than derivatives ....
Swing is less risky than day trading...


what you choose depends on you guts and personality....

Having said that any abnormal return requires significant risk taking.... speculation is not same as gambling....

Now whether you should take that risk on your normal trading practice is a separate question...

The thing is... traders risk appetite varies some time they go beyond the limit....

Of course if you deposit money in account or buy bond you are safer and is right way to make money... you still go and take risk... do day trading and scalping which is way too risky...

Many legendry investor always advise not to indulge in day trading...


Now to still choose risk .... which is speculation... and apply method... if you stick to 1:2 R/R , no way you can do that...

Many people in the past have achieve extraordinary return and they took extraordinary risk... once or twice in life....

making 1000s of trades for many weeks in a row and winning ... of course you got to be lucky and take extraordinary risks.... not to mention is not a ideal way to trade...

But that is not same as lottery and gambling IMHO....
 
I firmly believe that those members who have been trading for some time are well aware of many pitfalls, learning curves, joys and pains and many frustrations mainly related to ourselves.
I personally pay attention to posts which promote the overall positive things we are all learning, or have learned and desire to share it.
Other posts are not the centre of my attention, though by their nature they might be funny, useless or injurious.
There are some really good traders here posting charts and content which has taken them time and effort to work out. I am grateful to them.
Let that positive nature long live even on this thread.
Good trading to all,

I guess I don't have guts or personality, or a love of porkies!
 
Daxy has had a good run recently but is lagging today-dow and ftse doing well.
I would be careful about buying the dax on dips today due to this weakness.

Seems it lasted most of 1 day only, posted fake statements for the 30quid to 20k and when people pointed out the errors he pulled them.
So yes guys it is my fault and sorry about that but if you want to listen to bs peddlars no doubt there will be another one along soon.

2926 posts and silly old me pointed a little slip and the porkies got bigger and now poof he's gone, attention seekers like that will be back and no doubt look at any new mar 2015 accounts and one will be him or god knows maybe more.
Some people like internet porn and dating sites and some like trading for pretend.
Oh well gg.

Why why why Jessi?:-0

you'd contribute to this forum a lot more by posting your own charts and allowing us all to learn from each other, bringing the quality of the thread up rather than bringing it down. go...

We spent a long time convincing LexCorp to stop shorting and go long and he never looked back. He's now known as LongOnlyLex and he beat yours truly in the TradeToWin S&P competition. It came down to the last 3 minutes of the close before it was clear who was going to win. :mad:

Dont fight it.
 
With the bad result of retail sales, influenced by the decrease in sales of cars and bad weather that plagued the US East Coast, are given less reason the Fed to raise interest rates in the coming months and the markets feel some relief.
