Thread: How many consistently profitable traders around?

I've never seen a unicorn.
But I've noticed a flying pig

And particularly from people who actually makes some money... in the conclusion of day this is an internet forum. For sake of what, someone who worked hard to create his way profitable would a) announce that left and right and b) share some details and shows with a few strangers? They would not, so automatically any response, whatever statistically quasi-valid has been skewed already. Do you show your other assets or income on another public forums? Why not?

Btw, those 4.7 millions... had been pesos... or not

And you never asked about contemporary unicorns. You asked to prove if unicorns do exists. We could argue about grammar and usage of more proper tenses, but then, English is not the only language and also in many different languages the question would seem the exact same in either context. And btw, Siberia is very big, undiscovered area, I wouldn't...

Okay, how about this:
When a creature does exist it surely suggests it cannot be extinct.
Siberia might be a large undiscovered area however lack of proof is not evidence of presence.
And English is a really precise language.

Your question: is the price trending up, trending down or consolidating?
To me the answer is: neither
there is absolutely not any trend up or down or consolidation as an absolute. They're all those things or any one of these things or none of these things, all in precisely the same time.

True. But additionally lack of proof isn't evidence of non-existence I already understand what contr-argument you may want to bring. But. . .as I mentioned in the other thread, it's difficult to, if not impossible, to establish anything fundamentally. Because, any egy, logic, science, anything, if you dig deep enough, needs to be based of kind of dogma - which ultimately means religion.

With this egy you throw out of windows a) all methods based on trend (supposedly sacred grail) and b) all methods on fading consolidation edges. Obviously if price is all of those at the same time, none of these methods should functions, because functional execution of each, contradict each other...

if lack of proof isn't evidence of non-existence AND lack of proof isn't evidence of presence then the only conclusion is: we do not know. And that's the correct answer.
Religion isn't needed and not vital. How can digging deep enough (finding a bigger problem or even more questions) suggest faith ?

With this egy you throw out of ....
Yes indeed. That's just right, and good ride (:

I utilize faith for lack of more appropriate description, in a really wide sense of the word, not mandatory religious.

Faith for a certainty of chosen dogmas being fundamental by definition. There's not any other way round, regardless of a topic in question. Keyword here is chosen. And individual has to make decision if certain assumptions are okay and may eventually become dogmas, before moving forward with additional investigations and decision on a topic. Dogmas aren't questionable (otherwise they wouldn't be dogmas) and they're topic of faith.

There is no other way round... for us humans

I have a serious issue with anything that's not questionable, or instead with anything we are not permitted to questioned.
Atheists don't have a Simple life

1 from 10.000 will create it.
Your level of experience and ability has to be extremely high, or you will be eaten alive.
If you're just good or average, the chance of surviving is very small.

I'm referring to building a real living from trading, over several decades!
