Started off just by being very interesting in trading. Buying and selling trading cards when I was a kid. Practicing trading strategies, studying finance, then finally working as a trader. You are in effect, a product of where you spend your time. So I guess it's just a passion of mine.

100% the "Turtle Traders".

Richard Dennis writings. Podcasts with Jerry Parker, Michael Covel etc. Ed Seykota is really cool too - he's a real expert who kind just did his own trading, but he stuck to a winning system.

Look up trading strategies. Long term systematic approaches. Trading uncorrelated markets. Position sizing, stoploss management etc. Look for assymetric payoff always but systematise things. Do not trade randomly or without rules. That's why I tort the Turtle Traders. It's really easy to read and their rules are public, and they're still very practical and effective to this day!

does money get bitches looks or money?
Looks, Money and Status = ultimate freedom and access, looks alone or status alone or Money alone leaves that freedom unachieved

Well my opinion is you'll 99.99999% lose ALL your money if you start trading regularly. So would anyone. It's all about risk controls, probabilities/payoffs and acceptance of the COMPLETE unpredictability of the markets. The markets only move based of the collective psychologies+actions of ALL its participants at any given time, and that can't be reverse engineered since its collective human behaviour. So I'd say spend years refining trading rules and risk parameters into a system that makes money in the long term. Backtesting with lots of historical data across as many markets as possible is very helpful.

LMS is true, but if you dont have the looks - money and status is useless

So looks is imo still the most important part.

I see and as for learning from scratch u recommended learning from turtle trader in above threads. I wonder did trading become easy along the days or is it as hard as it has been when you started with 0 technical or fundamental knowledge?

That's why I ranked it looks, money and then status, because M and S (money and status) are very corelated and if one increases the other does too except in certain conditions (just in agreement with you) I need to finish the looks part soon and let the remaining of 20s be a mogger and work on MS and achieve it by late 20s no matter what.

Do you ever see yourself becoming a quant?

Many people say it's based on luck

Is it true
 
Is Sol going to go any lower so I buy it at a discount?

Is the rest of the year going to be a bear or bull market ?
 
Smart guy,

How long will this crypto cycle last
I don't know. You'll be able to trade the crypto markets forever so long as they stay liquid and so long as they don't all move sideways, forever.

Also, is it true that world events affect the market , like the war in Ukraine has a tool in the market.

Hypothetically, if there were no wars, would the worlds economy boost unprecedented?

What would you recommend to the average guy that wants to invest / make some money in the markets but isnt into trading / does not want to look at the charts all day (even if he would he would probably lose money in the long run) ?

Yeah it does affect them sadly, same as for gold and any other stuff that have value.

Passive investing through broad index funds with top stocks, if tax efficient.

In trading there is always a winner and a loser right? You cant make money without someone losing money right? What makes successful traders so different to the vast majority of people? I mean how can there be a few people that make a lot of money consistently over long periods of time if most people that trade lose money ?
