[Metastockusers] A traders mindset and newbie searching

Martin isn't assuming anything. He's speaking from experience just 
like I am. If a situation doesn't fit you, don't worry about it. 
Between us, we've read thousands of posts on here and on the other 
boards. We get it. 

Once you've read a few hundred posts and answered a few hundred 
questions, some of them over and over, then you should share your 
experiences with us and show us where we've misunderstood the 
situation. 

Before I forget, here's a link to an easier way to search the MS 
archives. Just go to archive search at the bottom of the page.
