Ah yes the inevitable cry of NEWBIE with it's implied insult that because someone is recently come to the community anything they have to say is of no value. I've always seen it as the internet equivalent of the childhood playground insult "you're a stupid head!". The last refuge of someone who has nothing intelligent, reasoned, rational or even interesting to say in reply.SOCRATES said:All of you carry on arguing if you like, the fact of the matter is that traders are not successful if they do not have the right attitudes and the right aptitudes, that's it. As for those of you who complain you only come here to learn my advice to you is to get yourselves a tutor. If you carefully examine this thead, all the noise is being made by newbies. I am no longer interested in prolonging arguments with newbies. You can now continue to argue amongst yourselves like a whole bunch of naughty children, I have better things to do.

You will find one day, you will actually discover it is a futile excercise to try to impose your frame of reference on all of this. Your frame of reference is an unsuitable one. I assure you this is not a demeaning comment. It is a constructive comment, but you yourself have to experientially undergo the odessey. When you have done so, and completed it, you will see how it is that your frame of reference will change from an unsuitable one to a suitable one. I will be very pleased for you, even though we are strangers, when you are able to achieve that.PKFFW said:Ah yes the inevitable cry of NEWBIE with it's implied insult that because someone is recently come to the community anything they have to say is of no value.

I may be new to trading but I can still recognise a condescending, rude and arrogantly egotistical persona when I see it. Whether that is actually you or simply the internet persona you get some form of enjoyment from acting out I don't know. I can't help but think by your reply that it is the former and the self reflection I suggested touched a nerve. Don't worry though, if you turn your reputed self awareness in trading to every aspect of your personality then I'm sure you could change that persona. Of course that is if you can pin what it is you need to do.
Finally, If you truyly have better things to do than prolong arguments with "newbies", why have you replied to this thread a number of times more after the above quoted post?
Cheerio,

Yes, and you need to work on your pdf for Barjon, or have you conveniently forgotten ?dbphoenix said:You really need to work on your exits, Bertie . . .
For one who seems to so often berate others for a lack of comprehension, your comprehension skills could use some work.SOCRATES said:You will find one day, you will actually discover it is a futile excercise to try to impose your frame of reference on all of this.

I'm sure I can't be the only one that thoroughly enjoys reading his posts?

Bigbusiness said:I am sure that there are others that enjoy reading his posts. If he stopped having a go at new posters, inexperienced traders and anyone who doesn't agree with him, he would probably not have to waste so much time posting rubbish. These endless spats ruin threads and make this site look like a joke. I am as guilty as anyone for posting junk, so I am not having a go. The response to some of his posts are over the top but if he didn't use "polite rudeness" and stuck to what he knows, instead of making things up, he might not have to post 40 times a day. It is probably too late for this situation to change now but I do hope I am proved wrong again

Why, you would laugh at him and say he 'is quite a character' and, at best, ignore him down at Tesco's. The thing about the internet is people are taken seriously even when they are being silly and rather boring.

dbphoenix said:Depends on the situation. If in a public place and trying to conduct a reasonably serious conversation, we'd move to another table. If he continued to pester us, we'd ask the proprietor to show him the door. Or give him that table for one by the kitchen.
If at a private party, most likely the host would simply hand him his hat and escort him to his car.

This place is really entertaining, eh? Socrates is such a joker, isn't he? Whenever someone says they have a 'bespoke' software for trading, you know they are talking c**p.
