What are the dumbest/most annoying things you have heard people say about trading?

[MajorDutch]

ok just for the lulz in memory of Paz & Dash. Here are my fave top 5 really dumb things I have heard people say about trading (in no particular order). Please add yours to the thread.

1. Now I am in a free trade. I fkin cringe when people say this.

2. This is just one of the ways I make money (not for beginners). :clap:

3. Never trade with a stop. aka mr 200 winning trades in a row all of a sudden gone quiet

4. Enter trades with a minimum 3.1 risk reward -

5. I commentate on oil a lot, i am shorting oil - someone actually said this at a seminar I went to in Sept 2009.

I am adding a 6th one in after watching a video in another post.

6. Only broke people sleep.:idea:

6. Double your money in 1 month

7. Make 2 million from $100, erh from $200, erh from $500, erh I mean from $900

 

[nile_croc]

1. "XYZ is looking cheap here"

2. "I told everybody XYZ was going to go up (or down) and nobody listened (or everybody laughed))"

3. One word: "Undervalued"

4. Anything that has anything to do with Warren Buffett (not that I have a problem with the guy, but everyone thinks that they're investing like him every time they buy a stock that went down).

Thanks for the advice split. Id rather think big and learn big, taking hits along the way than place £10 per point here and there. Its a big loss but the learning curve is tenfold than just learning from a £250 loss. I'll be back, and il get my money back

after losing £25k.

1. You can't trade off 5m or 1m charts
2. If I keep compounding I'll have $$$millions in a year (or 2).

1. 300% per month consistently.

2. Holy grail 100% win rate, No lose one pip, no critise until the end of may.

3. 1000:1 leverage

4. My stop is at blah so the most I can lose is blah

5. It can't go any lower

6. Anything I say

 

[robster970]

Keep out of the black and stay in the red, you get nothing in this game for 2 in a bed.

[Mr. Charts]

Everything fcta says on his for Christians only thread, for example,
"Otherwise you are missing out and ability for God to equip you His knowledge for overcoming the stock markets. It works for me, and this is what I am doing using the Bible to spot the next market crash."

Never mind the pazzies, malins, dashes, killphils of this board, the One and Only Secret Truth is that fcta is the God approved King of Lulz.

And he doesn't even know it.

"Trading isn't like gambling."



And "Investment".

People use the word "investment" or say things like it isn't gambling (when they have **** all idea of what gambling means) to make themselves sound clever, like just using the word "investment" reduces the risk to zero.

Check that gambling thread. Half the morons speak like they know what they are talking about. What they really mean is degenerate gambling... and nobody ever goes degen when they're trading, do they.

Big mouth for an amateur
