How to become a profitable or full-time trader

[Gringotts Bank]

Can't you guys tell the difference between a malicious spam/deception campaign and someone who is blathering and deceiving himself? I think you should all should stop bullying a guy who is obviously an easy target and leave that for the sophisticated spammers.

It was very obvious right from the start this was a benign blah thread. That's not a threat to anyone. Just ignore it if you don't like it.

These types of people require ridicule to deter lying and deceitfulness and oh yeah I am going to comment whenever I feel like it. Within the forum guidelines of course.

Looks like Rog's life is just never-ending drama. First it's the haters at ASF, now he's being harassed because he traded forex with someone's ex-wife.



Why Rog, why?

This guy Rog is clearly deluded and on the edge. If you wanna push him over, that's your choice. He's unstable and it's not a good idea to poke.

Yes I had a bit of a look, more than a few bumps. But if you look at his numerous meandering almost unintelligible video posts (actually I recommend only looking at them after taking an appropriate amount of mind altering substances) he brushes off the losses as his guru coach teachings of how not to trade, as usual all wins and losses are on demo accounts so he can pick and chose the ones to show.

I found it interesting that he made a 5K deposit into one of his trading accounts on 26 Jan 2018, which coincides with the date he uploaded a youtube video, in which he declared his intention to discontinue the practice of posting to youtube.

Could these two coincident events be somehow related?

Could the occurence of the 93.2% drawdown, that same month, be a contributing factor?
Is further investigation able to yield answers to these captivating questions?
This sounds like a job for the...

I suppose it could come down to the question of whether its more helpful, or hurtful, to push one to the...

According to Rog, some people did avail themselves of his services.
So I wonder if those whom, trusting in his coaching, traded throughout the periods he experienced sizable drawdowns on his accounts, would agree with your usage of the word benign.

That 93.2% drawdown would have been enough to give many an aspiring trader...

Good shot.

Sounds very much like...

Perhaps.....do.

Thanks guys, not having been here for a while I just read through the whole thread which was good for a lot of laughs. Benign? No this guy may well have caused a few naive and unsuspecting suckers to lose a lot of money.

I didn't think it was possible, but this thread might just top the Bill Stacy thread for laughs.

Rog, your LinkedIn makes for interesting reading. Direct Marketing, real estate course 2014, and
Sunshine Coast Businesses For Sale Website started in 2014 which now leads to a parked domain. Hmm...

I couldn't agree more, every so often I come across some poor sole who has wasted (or are wasting) a lot of time and money on various systems, seminars or so called trading coaches. One of them, a businessmen spent $25K on a trading system then paid huge fees for coaching, he and his wife let their business languish while they clocked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt using the system, they were so convinced by the coach that it was a winner that they kept pouring money in, even tried to get me to buy in. Eventually they gave up, luckily they were able to save what was left of their legitimate business.

Hopefully these sort of threads show up in Google searches to deter would be punters from scam coaches and get rich quick schemes. By all means have a look, a good system or coach could help in making regular stable profits and minimise losses in the markets, but always do your due diligence before parting with any of your hard earned. I always ask, "Why are you wasting your time selling your system to me for only X$ when you could be making millions using the system yourself?"

That's a good point. The title of this thread is something that people might type into Google if they were trying to become a profitable or full-time trader. It may well come up in the search results as you suggest.

To anyone who has arrived here via a Google search, you should also take the time to read the How to identify an investment scam thread. The financial services industry is filled with scammers and snake oil salesmen. Always do your due diligence before you hand over any money to anyone who promises to make you money trading financial markets.
