The Clown or Spin the Bottle Both methods are well known Pro(to) Trader topics and have been tried on numerous occasions. Clown Trading is a method used by idiots to appear meaningful. You can find many fine examples of Clown talk right here on SI. Clowns speak in short clipped sentences about what is happening in the market right at that possible moment. They put on costumes and practice financial onanism so to speak, they rarely use money in the Circus and do it so people think they are traders, Clowns come in clubs. The Spin the Bottle Method is used to gain prominence in affairs in a different fashion. When you Spin the Bottle you pick any issue and then take a side, you ignore any personal feeling, you try your best to appear calm and impartial in your bias. This method is guaranteed to work if you follow one simple rule, make sure you post on the Hot Topics all the time. (Post on the real Hot Topics, just avoid the ones that SI puts up there for whatever reason.) Practicing Clowns and Bottlers wish to do one thing, get bookmarked, get FAME. At Pro(to) Trader, we don't worry about FAME, we worry about GLORY.
