I get it but getting scammed is part of becoming a trader. We scam ourselves by thinking we already know everything. At least with a mentor there is a small chance its a real opportunity. When it comes to trading im not messing around, trading is so lucrative I dont care how many false opportunities i have to go through to find the one and learn from every experience along the way.
Being overly cautious freezes everything and you get nowhere and guarantee your failure. You already chose this path stop playing these fear based games, this business is cut throat while you are here trying to play hero on a forum there are thousands of firms enjoying consistent eod profits. There should be a subsite here of people sharing the handful of tools that when combined offer the consistency we all seek of 90%+
You have two choices when it comes to your development as a trader. Reverse engineer a system by backtesting for consistency or track down a mentor and accelerate the learning curve. Whatever issues you have to deal with when pursuing either or is part of the game
Im willing to share some things here but i guess the zero sum game concept is not understood by some. Send me a dm maybe we will be allowed to talk privately or maybe nannypips will tell us if we can work together or not
Process of elimination, there is no way around it. A mentor may improve the curve but ultimately the stuff the does not work, the inconsistencies, must be known for enhanced conviction of what works. We also track sequence and frequency of any pattern our methods exploit, or the successful applications of our methods can be counted and each count occurs at its own unique frequency.
As for online mentors, staceyburke, innercircletrader, chris lori are all giving you the real stuff you need to build a solution. When it comes to them or any real mentor its a question of how long you want to maintain your egoistic wall.
We are in the beginners questions section - the very first thing that a beginner may implant in his/her brain -watch out for the word SECRET
You may encounter that word many times - one thing - there are no secrets.
You will be tempted to impart hard earned cash to learn these supposed secrets and believe me the sellers are good at what they do - step back and think - sellers of secrets ?
I am not sure your tone has much to contribute to newcomers here. I note you joined 4 days ago and have spent the grand total of 1 hour reading. I have visited for 279 days and have spent a total of 8 days reading on this forum. I find your words “play hero” condescending. You don’t know me, nor do I care if you wish to.
I am here to advance my own knowledge and spend a considerable amount of effort posting topics that I think should be of interest to new members, but always ask if others have different views / methods or approaches.
Do you mean like the journals people maintain for their own, and others’ use?
Example:
If you truly wish to help members of this forum (because it is a large audience) then please spend another few hours familiarising yourself with both content and layout of this forum, and let members have one single source of truth.
If you create a post of such value to members I will be the first one to follow, comment and support it.
Its hard to see without believing that there is something to be found. You dont know how much insight you can get from any one pattern or tool, you think you understand something, yet it continues to crystalize as the days pass, revealing the fog in your belief or conception of that tool.
You think you know what something does or is, you think you understand its significance but the right things always offer more than you thought so stay humble and curious about what other undiscovered secrets and insights they hold, demand every resource operate at its full capacity.
What are the most consistently accurate pattern exploits, and how are you sequencing them for cohesive service under one control system
“Not known or seen or not meant to be known or seen by others”.
Thing is that in the market there are no such unknowns - it hides no secrets - a person may well think they know something yet unknown but it’s a fallacy.
There are no cliques huddled in a corner mummering the play up ahead - no hidden mic picking up their plans - no secrets to share or sell - just a market in that we all have to learn every single day that we participate.
New traders need to know that the accurate information they seek is not widely available. There are secrets that will require extraordinary time and energy to uncover. Also, unless someone is willing to mentor you and share their systems with you I would not listen to them. They tell you watch out, be afraid, dont trust anyone trying to teach you, ok so then what, give up? Its silly fear based crap, get scammed who cares, learn from it and move on. Or tip toe around on this forum for the rest of your life getting nowhere. The reward is so great that Im going to test every single thing i can get my hands on no matter the source. How badly do you want this. If its eh so so then move on, this aint for you.
To those of you attempting to discredit me, i challenge you to attempt exposing me. Pose as a student and expose my fraud once and for all. You guys talk a big game but lack in articulating trading processes and services. I see now why professional traders stay away from these forums, you guys need to grow up. You cant always have it your way, if you failed it means you did something wrong and need to adjust, dont linger around spreading fear ruining it for everyone else.
It’s very good of you to offer to mentor members. I look forward to seeing the thread that starts it all off with some useful content that attracts the interest of members. We are with you - all of us. Show us the way.
Lead us into the light.
I posted those figures on purpose to see the reaction. I love how everyone thinks they know what is and isnt possible. You want to learn and at the same time you think you can spot when something becomes unrealistic. If you were that good you would have designed a working system by now.
Hedge funds dont contend with the question of direction their issue is how to make more. That is why their profit percentages dont match the smaller higher leveraged accounts. The beezneez no one made you judge of what sounds genuine and plausible, you too are human, you too need to humble yourself and expand your perspective. To become a trader we must conquer our internals.
The problem you guys have is someone who actually knows is trying to tell you and you refuse to accept it. There is a chance im a fraud but there is also a guarantee that you dont know what you’re talking about.
As a developing trader fear itself should be your primary fear.
