Seriously to be successful just anticipate catalysts

[poopeetr]

Take a few years, study financial statements of hundreds of companies, find out what catalysts make markets move and simply anticipate those moves.

This is what successful traders do, at least the ones that are consistently successful do....

This might be the germ of something fundamental - would you want to be more specific about what you have done?

I lurk these forums and all I see are lazy tards always looking for a easy way to make money trading, however there is none.

the only way is to spend 12 -14+ hours a day reading financial statements, looking at charts, looking at news reports, studys, trends, etc.

I agree that we see lots of people arriving here who think you can make big money quickly and easily, and they are sadly very mistaken. I am sure many are told this can't be done but blow their accounts as they cannot accept the truth.

But the fact that they are wrong about their way does not mean your way is the only way. The game can be played and won in many ways and yours is just one. Credit to you if you are consistently profitable but I detect an implication that you feel you deserve to win and be acknowledged because of the effort you put in. In trading, the idea that reward should be proportionate to effort is not just wrong but dangerously wrong.

Trust me studying catalysts and anticipating them is a solid trading strategy that might not work 100% of the time, it will and does work about 75 -82%.

I won't give anymore info, however I have access to research on successful traders from a bulge bracket firm and catalysts and anticipating them sums up the study. It isn't as easy as just reading Financial statements, however that is where to begin.
