@kulturdesken I'm starting to think that next time there is fear, they're just going to run the same trade again dxy/btc,gld,tlt. Midterm seasonality helping that trade in all aspects

[Forte @ForteCharts]

Long paragraphs on some trading truth.

Cult-like behaviours in the trading community need to end. There isn't a single book you read that will magically turn you into a profitable trader. They're likely there trying to sell you something: their subscription service or some indicators.

Don't follow a single person as if he/she were Lord Jesus himself. We're all just tools that YOU can use. If we're useless, then stop using us. You're likely never going to meet me, so in reality I am not a real person. So don't ever think anything too deep. And you should start gaining consciousness this way.

Most importantly, if someone you suspect is not a real trader and is posting retarded tickers all the time, chances are that person is retarded. Doesn't matter their follower count. Just because something or someone is popular doesn't mean it will work; heck that's the whole business. The least popular type shit will be the ones that work.

Ever heard a trader saying something like "All you need is a few trades a year, and you'll be able to make a living?"
Yeah, maybe it works for THAT person. Or maybe he's bullshitting you. See if it works for you; if it doesn't, the chances are he's bullshitting you. Doesn't matter if he is or not; if YOU'RE not making money, you're getting bullshitted on.

Personally, I have to take like 50,000 trades a year to make a living. First thought that comes to your mind? "Wow, he's overtrading"
And I'll ask you this: are you profitable? If not, what is there for you to say that I am overtrading? It's the same as how a 400lbs person have 0 rights on saying what is healthy to eat or not. Wake up!
