no free lunch in the pit as well

every trader who manages to go beyond the initial wall of challenges must have faced the questions and dilemmas you have mentioned, besides other ones. while buddy traders who jointly learn and progress, others who bang their head against the great walls and manage to get some way after blood tears and sweat generally don't share their "IPR" unless they again need some buddies to surmount next walls which keep on coming like a video game

and there is nothing wrong if you don't come across such buddies. because there are very few after the first 1 or 2 gates. i find myself so lonely too many times. i fight my advanced challenges only mine to face and overcome. nobody has or seems to be finding the vaccine for my trading covid situations. i am suffering and researching for my viruses myself. i'm sure many more ahead or near my stage must be feeling the same or would have felt the same.

the trading arena tests everyone. not everyone is permitted by the market to enter beyond the first or second gate. one has to "pay" (with honest sincerity and thirst) to get it. not everyone wants to learn fishing. not everyone wants to be a buddy. i remember a very high profile person...v high profile indeed....who used to talk to me with a mask of a buddy but never used to show up after he got some "formula" from me. but strange are the ways of the justice of the market. he had to return when he was stopped by the next wall...but he was stupid enough to repeat his behaviour and more stupid to think that i am not getting what he is up to.

there is no free lunch out there in the pit....

it is not that people are not looking for answers for advanced questions. it is not that people are not succeeding answers to advance questions. only, that nobody is stupid to share except for un corruptible honest companionship with an unquenchable thirst for the answer.

There are 1000s of books, videos....study materials...which tell about money mgt...drawdowns, profit booking  SL, etc....etc...But the newbies, want to have a holy grail....till the time they understand there is no holy grail...either they have lost money or lost confidence.... The remaining 1%...march on in profits
