'If it were that simple then why do two people using the same "System" never get the same results ?'
The answer is quite simple really, firstly you say 'never get the same results..' which is nonsense,
sometimes you may get two people getting the same results and sometimes not, the answer cannot be 'never'.
When two people do not get the same results then it is normally because of one of a few reasons, either emotion,
bad money management, or maybe one punter has understood the system in a different way to the other.
Let's get one thing straight, whether you are a system hater or not you cannot change certain variables and human
beings by nature vary and so do their personalities which means you will indeed get different results.
But one thing is absolutely certain, if a system is clear and concise and the people who operate it work it
exactly as laid out, without emotion and methodically with the information given then you will definitley
get the same results, period. There is no argument about this even if you hate systems.
The appropriate word incidently is not necessarily 'method'. If you look up 'system' in the dictionary it means
'method' but again I detect this 'I refuse to use the word system in my vocabulary because I am a professional trader..'
type attitude ;-) (just joking guys)
'you cannot have an emotional system because the context is out of place'
It is not the system that is emotional, it is the user. How can a system on its own possibly be emotional ? It is
the human factor that creats emotion.
Yes you are correct there are traders that are successful by instinct but they are few, the majority of successful
traders use the many tools available and they combine these tools to creat their own system, sorry 'method'
as you prefer this terminology ;-)
'If success were down to systems then we would all use the same one'
If we were all robots without individual personalities then yes. But we are human beings and all different which
means we all have different opinions and ideas of success and how we achieve it. We do not have access to the same
information or may not even want to have access and also put the work in to discover what is available.
It is just like saying that we should all be driving the same car, the car may do exactly the same miles per gallon,
is just as comfortable, the same guarantees, the same price, the same spec etc etc etc but we as individuals choose
our own things based on our tastes and personality. It is exactly the same with systems or methods or teachers,
we choose our own guru, we choose our own software, we choose our own system, whatever we think works best for us.
The possibilities are endless.
