Why do skilled traders teach/train write books?

[neil]

Neil but wasn't he outed as a scammer a while back.

The Pin Bar crap that has been spouted by god knows how many people new and old on this site and others.

NO- that was JACKO who royally ripped off many people.
James16 thread is still going strong and a good read


The Jacko thread is here-he had a good run, then took money off investors and seemed to disappear:whistling

Well - scammers aside, why would anyone write a book?

Why would a succesful pilot, doctor, actor, politician , businessman write a book?

Why does Steven King even bother? I reckon the guys not really a proper writer myself - he's just scamming people into thinking he is. If he was really a successful writer, he wouldn't need to write books.[/QUOTE]

Erm....writers write..and...traders trade:whistling

 

[isatrader]

Diversification maybe. i.e. the ones that aren't scammers could probably argue that it's sensible to have multiple sources of unrelated income however good they are at trading, to protect themselves from that black swan moment or a large drawdown period where they underperform for a while? So royalties and passive income from books etc would give them an additional low risk income safety net that could feasibly help to pay the day to day bills when they can't afford to take earnings out of their trading account.

Traders that write books or become vendors normally want recognition. They want to feel wanted. They want to feel special. They want you to say "wow, you're such a great trader".

...... they want to be in market wizards.....

The ego has to go somewhere. If you are suppressing it in the main whilst trading, human behaviour will assert itself somewhere else. It's like emotional whack-a-mole.

Firstly skilled traders do not write , they trade ...they size up and compound their weekly profits of 5 to 10 % a week and make additional 200 % a year from compounding their weekly sized up profits.Buffet was an investor , not a trader and he has benefited mainly from money printing of the governments and breakaway from gold standard since Nixon defaulted in 1972.

There are ways of sweeping everything under the carpet , the sticky vegas threads , the vegas signal services scams and trading education and systems.Short memory some of us have , maybe deep guilty conscience of sweeping everything under the carpet with deleted threads , banned members who exposed the scams of their accomplices .

Snake oil is still being sold with illusions of price action training on randomness or what appears to be patterns but are random formations.

I was refering to James16 thread( The free bit). If you think this is a scam please show us proof?
Agreed there were scams over at FF -the biggest being the Jacko thread but James and a few others continue to give good discussion on trading. The problem is sorting out the scammers from genuine discussion-a difficult task both here on t2w, I suspect, and on FF (they need a PBoyle on FF as well maybe)

95% are scammers, the other 5% want to:

Promote themselves as individual experts in their field
Get hired as hedgerow fund managers or investment consultants
They are ugly and want to get laid by some rich birch.
Probably other reasons but wanting to "give something back" is not one of them.
