Jaytrade: Lucky, yes, aren't we all at times? Of course, but running up so much so quickly is luckier than most. He made 1/3 of it all...
If he was a natural, he wouldn't have risked so much. He obviously got very lucky. He certainly wasn't profitable (even if the trades were good,...
Not a single one? In your post you show what you think is proper risk management and that a retail trader can practise it, yet you claim none do?...
If there's only a few, then they're not normal, they would be exceptional. We're all animals and most of us are capable of anything. To deny this...
There is a point which when passed most of us would kill, although it will seem distant and extreme. Also, few people are innocent. There are...
GDP per capita is hardly a sensible comparison to the standard of life for the majority. The gap between rich and poor is greater in the US than...
And if they have a better standard of living? They're hardly third world, and Belgium in particular is a higher standard than the US. They're...
You did say it was enough to make a living from, and I wouldn't disagree if it's by someone young with low expenses. I'm not that much older than...
How many succeeded in their second shot the following year? :p Literally yes, but a profitable, level-headed trader who practises sensible...
Maybe for someone young and minimal expenses like yourself. A man with a family and mortgage will need much, much more. The number varies greatly...
That's just silly. The amount is different for everyone, and many traders need nowhere near that amount.
The stat would be a guess, but the vast majority wouldn't succeed, simply because they won't see it through. The ones who "fail" those who didn't...
No. I'd suggest the flipside and say you haven't lived until you've been down and out, as it puts things in perspective and should make people...
Allow me to edit your post: You don't like it, then don't go to the casino. By the same logic, if you don't like the way credit card companies...
I am the market.
Then don't get a credit card, or at least keep expenses well within means. Falling behind is just financially irresponsible, and the person has...
I'm not excusing them, but spanish89 admitted to doing it nearly a year ago, and seemed to imply that it was intentional (didn't make one...
You actually make sense here, but I expect this is just an anomaly.
Again, I expect your just posting rubbish to get a rise from some posters, but if it did in fact take you three years, then I would suggest that...
So, basically you stole a reasonable amount of money?
