>Are you being serious right now? Pretty sure 99% of traders will tell you consistency determines long term profitability, not inconsistency. @Scaredycatguide @forexbrokr

pretty sure 99% of traders lose money mate. exactly my point. 

>See my point above, Soros doesn't need to fool people. He enters large, market moving positions and people follow him, creating a self-reinforcing prediction.

whales are whales because people believe they are consistent. humans are beings of habits. this is their biggest vulnerability. something that you fail to understand. 

>I never claimed to have ultimate knowledge. Though yeah, I am a professional markets writer with 6 years trading experience. I've also actually read one of the guy's books and ridden some of his trades to great success. So yeah I'd say say those factors qualify me to discuss the topic with a little authority.

This tells me nothing. I am much older than you and have seen this mantra countless times. meaning absolutely nothing. A monkey can become a trader in a month. not something that anyone should be proud of. 

>You are such a rebel. You are so different and unique. Did you get your anarchy badge from a Good Charlotte concert?

I managed to retire 3 years ago. after being in the market for 4. do the math. anarchist? sure. but more of an opportunist. I am also an anthropologist and i can spot 101 rookie assumptions about human nature..especially when it comes to trading where most of them are compulsive gamblers that got a boner from popular hollywood movies trying to live the dream. (mainly americans suffer from this delusion.)

>Alright so do you want to stake something on this? Friendly little wager. I'm happy to stake a couple hundred SBD on the result, or we could both simultaneously enter into positions on the SPX - I'll go long, you go short. I'll leave the time frame up to you, as I think you are at a slight handicap. If SPX is higher at the end of x months I win, if it is lower you win.

>This is very easy, I'm not requiring an actual crash like you are predicting, just for SPX to be lower than it is today. My only condition is the time frame shouldn't be more than 12 months, as you have specifically predicted an impending crash signalled by this donation. Look forward to hearing from you.

I don't need to wager anything. I could be wrong about this one and you could be right but that would not indicate whether you are always right or that I am always wrong. Again, this kind of mentality is of the rookie, the one I see on twitter between gamblers waving dicks with each other. 

The point here is that charities are the red pill for those who want to secure value in turbulent times. Everyone is doing it and rather aggressively since the panama papers debacle. 

There are also a few other indicators that reinforce a major correction if you follow CNBC and/or bloomberg.

Well, here it goes my young padawan
