I honestly don’t know where the markets are heading next. I cannot predict where and when the top and bottom shall take place. But I learnt it hard way, what I should do "stay" or "quit" when price is traveling beyond my reference levels.

Naked truth!

 One of the top turtle trader Curtis Faith writes as below.

// I won’t go into specifics here, but those of us who actually trade for a living know the names of many “famous traders” who are famous as “traders” but that don’t make money as traders. They make money selling new trading systems, seminars, home study courses, etc. Most of these so called “experts” can’t trade and don’t trade the systems they sell //

Very true!. I believe in this statement as it's a common sense.

Person who is proved right in trading will never try his hand in any other mode of income.He will desparetely pump all the available capital into his trading pool and always wish to grow big. If  he starts seeing some money using his own trading strategy, he will devote all his time only in improvising his trading method and he can't even think of any other activities to earn money. Trading is such kind of game which occupies your mind completely and not allow you to peek around.

Only when a trader gets frustrated by series of loss or not able to cope up with discipline to follow his own system, he looks for other derivatives of trading business to make money. It'll mostly work well for him.I can spot the trend and reversals exactly when am not in trading but i'll miss them if i am involved in trading.

So, absolutely there is no point in looking for free trading calls, following other's trading system or listening to trading strategists in media. Only way to excel is, listen and study everything whichever comes in your way for the sake of knowledge. Never follow anything blindly. Apply your mind over everything and try to build something on your own.

I always feel that one should create his own trading system or methodology. He can learn a lot in the process of discovering something on his own. Best phase in any trader's life is this R&D phase. Experience which he gains from this R&D phase is much more superior than any trading book written so far. None of the trading expert or book can teach him well than the own experience.

Newbies should always know this logic behind "experts" and "own study" well before losing their hard earned money.

assortz,
very true ...
this is why freeloaders want blind believers ...

this reminds me of another similar stuff.

Someone asked another
"Master, How to make a million dollar ?"

Master answers
"Write a book on How to Make a Million,
give it all the hype and
Sell it.
The gullible buyers will make your million"

:)
have a good season!

ISTHAMUS

assortZ said...

Hi Isthamus,

Will try my best.

Crude - you can trade it now as a sharp and swift trend is around the corner.

Silver - Please stay away for time being as it is trading between a very tight range making quite a few whipsaw trades.

ISTHAMUS:: said...

THAN YOU so much
