I don't want to beat a dead horse because I know most of the people here
are traders or trying to be traders because they enjoy the activity of
trading, and anyone who suggests they stop for any reason will be
ignored. But that is kind of my whole point. As a recent thread
suggests, good trading is boring. Those who are in it for the
excitement are probably not going to succeed.
So as to your statement of being a trader without trading, is that
better than being a trader without profits?
The egotistic need to be "traders" comes with a cost.
Good Luck,
Eric
