Agree with all that, basically be careful in the trading world of taking people at face value, and you have written it a few times already, but the question above by Deaddog was "If you were to mentor someone what advise would you give them?"
You say you weren't profitable day trading, but are swing trading, so as Bob said, perhaps you could expand on why you think that has been, what you have learnt swing trading and any suggestions based on your experiences that you are happy to pass on here.
That would be good to read and be helpful to people.
You do not win as a trader, you just get to play again the next day. If that game doesn’t appeal to you then you should not trade. Gary Norden
Hi Matthew, the advice I am giving is to be careful of others and if you find someone who you think is reputable make sure they can do what they say with their real money in their real account.
As for specific trading. Trade your personality whether you are a day, swing or trend trader find what works best for you. As for swing specific, I have to laugh sometimes how much fundamental data works. People don’t want to think either that or business wants everything like clockwork with little regard for people I might add. For example, hogs have a life cycle of 18 months born, grow and slaughtered and in that 18 months the cost of raising them is influenced by their feed, weather and insurance. With this in mind the commodity market is the only place where a businessman brings their product to market without knowing the price!! What are you pay for hogs? $2. I can’t afford that. Tough! So the producer must be able to guarantee that he will be able to lock in a certain price through timing. Just another note. The God given markets or natural markets is where wealth is created. Corn is planted, harvested and sold for money. The man made or abstract markets have no need other than the need generated by man. Wealth is exchanged.
I was replying to Matthew, not sure you realized that. Why would you critique an answer to a question that wasn’t asked by you? I’m really not sure why you would do that. Especially when the final remark is a judgment. How do you hold yourself to judge an answer that you didn’t ask? If the receiver doesn’t get the answer I will try to make it clear for that person. Understand we are not conversing face to face and if there’s a need for clarity it belongs to the people in that conversation.
Anything stated in a public forum is subject to public scrutiny. If I made a false claim to someone, do you think you'd have no right to call me out on it?
I think it is fair that people ask you about specifics (again, in a public forum) whether you address them directly or not. Besides, since you never actually address to whom you are directing your answers, how are we supposed to know? Try quoting or actually @chipwitch (for example) so we know who you are addressing. Using the @ symbol before their name actually sends them an email to let the member know that someone has addressed them directly.
@Amstaff, if you want to make it clear whom you are answering, you should use the "Quote" button, as I just did, to quote the post you are responding to. You can also use their username, preceded by the "@" sign, as I just did with your name.
It is easy enough to avoid those misunderstandings if you make the effort to be clear.

For those not familiar with the idea, a "Turing test" is a conversation where one of the participants is a machine, and the test is whether anyone can tell that it is or not.
I doubt it, but it is not a completely irrelevant question.
@Amstaff, the question was asked because, in over three pages of this thread now, you have not once replied in any meaningful way to any of the questions asked of you, and have not engaged in the conversation except by repetition. People keep trying to get you to respond in some way that is relevant to the concerns of traders, but get no answers.
If you do have something to contribute, please take the opportunity to do so now. There have been plenty of topics that people have tried to address -- you could just pick one, or add whatever else you wish to say.
At this point, things have just gone around in circles, and this thread is soaking up people's attention with no discernible outcome.
If you are unwilling to respond meaningfully, this thread will simply be closed so people can move on.
Bob.
