Long & Wrong

Thoughts about trading (FX and Index Futures)

This is Why People Hate Traders…

with 17 comments

I got up late, I got up very late. I had missed all of the fun at the London open, it was obviously going to be one of those days.

If I am going to make a serious point, and not just show off my brilliance, it is that it is never too late to start making money.  There is also an eur/jpy chart that shows it is never too late to start losing money, but that makes neither a useful point or provides me with a warm, smug glow.

  2. I attempted twice to post a witty response. By not posting my witty response, WordPress refuses to acknowledge my existence. Slowly but surely my presence in the blogosphere is diminishing.

  4. If someone ends up calling me a smart ass or a know it all (which they will in the end anyway, being an INTJ and all), I would have that while making money at it (but that’s just me).

    Whereas people actually read your blog…he he…so you have an obligation to make a point, you are good at it :)

    • I’ve lowered my expectations so far that I take “smart ass” as a compliment nowadays :-)

      Really interesting point in your other recent comment. If I wasn’t typing on this stupid little keyboard (mobile phone) then I would bore you to tears with my further thoughts!

  6. Somewhere “out there” are 2 posts very similar to the following:

    OMG! You didn’t get up until 10:00am? Who sleeps in that late? WHO?!?!?

    Drunks, gamblers, and hookers, that’s who! (we can safely rule out #3 for you, i think)

    • 1. Rarely.
      2. Always.
      3. It isn’t me that works long hours overnight, I think that is another (ex-)blogger.

    • “chart whores” is a better phrase. Always pleased to do my bit to improve your English :-)
