My appalling trading history

January 29, 2006 by Trader Rich 

I received an email from a site visitor that I’m convinced was more of an attempt to sell me something than help me.  I’m still not convinced that paying someone money to help is the way to go.  There is so much information out on the internet and if collated can be quite valuable.  In addition, there is no question that forums and sites like this can assist in making us better traders.  I truly believe that if one can hang in long enough without burning through their funds can gain the experience to become successful. 

On that note, here is the email I received.  If it is a sales attempt, I’ll be sure to add the sender to my blacklist.  If not, I welcome the help because I too am appalled by some of my trades.

Subject: May I be of assistance?
Body: I came across your website and was appalled at your trading history. May I be of some assistance? I am sure I could assist you in improving these results if you are willing to accept some assistance.

Obviously if the sender had visited this site before, he would have known that I am absolutely and totally willing to accept assistance and criticism.  I just don’t want to pay for it.

    If someone wanted to offer assistance by sharing their experience they would be doing so right here in your forum.
