Looking back my entire life, I have despair as Al Pacino elaborated in Scent of Women.
I don't recall clearly though I really like that scene very much. The colonel said: everytime in my entire life, when I face a cross street. 1 way is tough, and the other one is easy. I always picked the easy one.... And I regret....
Something like this, I don't care if I recall , but do more and more realise the meaning of it.
But this really is trading forum, this is all about trading, why this tough easy crap???
I feel it is same today. When a guy (or woman ) approaches this business, it requires same hard/easy mindset to make it. I need to select the'hard' way to make it in this game.
I never bothered to post to warn so-called newbies NOT to perform so or that as I've been a rookie too. But I feel that a newbie trying to succeed here must understand the way is the way to go, NEVER take the easy way.
And therefore don't just haul a fancy EA out of a forum and hope to be wealthy. Even if the EA is a profitable system, you still cannot make money. That's as it is an'easy' way. And one you can easily become/find a capable coder, but not true for a profitable trader.
Do not attempt to beat the market without analysis and egy but with a grid/martingale system. Right, you'll lose, as it is an'easy' way.
Do not attempt to follow a few bigshots' big shouts of buy xxx sell yyy now. You'll lose, as it is also a simple way.
And the hard way is the situations you run away from by doing easy crap above.
I get deeper and deeper understanding of this'hard' and'easy' after hundreds of hours analyzing in trading simulators. It has to be you to exchange.
