we’re all such different people.

Hello

almost 1 year in trading now and i have met and spoke with many people about trading. and i must say that everyone is different and uniqiue in the way they think. not saying which is bad or which is good but surely everyone is different. here are some that i can think of now.

The "Guru" wannabe
These are snake oil salesman, forex course trainers. "win $5000 in 1 hour!" "my account had grown 200%" this is just a false dream they are advertising. in the real money world, the most evil ppl are those that appears to be nice and helpful and steal your money from behind and we willingly give it to them coz they seems so logical and correct in what they says.

their course information are all freely available. of coz they say they got the "magic bullet" but when you are in the game long enough you will realised that there is no magic number or bullet in indicators or technical trading

paying 2k for some "guru" to feed you those free information, sell you a couple of MA, MACD, stochcastic, fibo, S/R which is also free. profitable or not thats questionable. Did we ever check the “good fx course” trading history or statement? We never question "good fx course" coz they appear so knowledgeable, well dressed, honest, helpful and nice. A fast expanding fx school can even appoint their “full time traders” with just 1 year experience to teach overseas as their forex trainer. It really is a cruel money world.

The Economist
These are people that had eaten more salt then i had eat rice. they know more then me. they had been studying economics and finance througout their students days. surely they know much more then this navie IT young kid rite? these are "mr know it all" and can explain why everything is happening they are keen to forecast and predict what is going to happen and where the market is heading. "i expect this is going to take 2-3 years to recover. growth is going to be slow this year, we will see improvement in the later part of 2009" these people not only sound good,they bullshit even better. did they put in their money? No! Never!

The Skeptics
These are people that thinks that trading is gambling and can never make it as a living. common sentences spoken by them are "please come back down to earth" "you need to put both your feet back to ground" "please wake up" these people never even tried trading or maybe just trade a little, lose a bit then gave up. or they known or seen ppl who had lost everything in trading. They concluded that they seen and know it all. that trading can never make it and i will sure doom to fail if i continue to trade. i will just be falling further and further into the black hole. i got to say that my father is one of the skeptics and he constantly look down on me. which is sad i got to admit. i used to be easily angry by these ppl looking down on me, i can handle it much better now haha. i do agree that in a way trading is gambling

The Leecher
These are people that never do anything, they never bring any added value and just wait and leech on the information that is feeded to them. lucky for me i only have 1 leecher hahah LOL you know who you are! but she is great listening ear for me. she agrees everything i say sometimes even when i am wrong she also agree with me ahha so funny. anyway nice to have someone to check on you and make you going the right direction.
