You said, "Many, if not most, people really have no genuinely working and successful model to use, as you know it takes time and lots of trial and error before a truly reliable model is developed and fully ready to use for profitable trading." I have not always been the best at Elliott Wave Analysis on the Planet. lol It took me years and years to learn and I am still capable of learning and refining the art. I can look back and see times I was struggling to get it right and missing terribly. That is why it is so funny to me that some love to harass me with times in the past that I was too hasty with a call and was wrong. There is nothing wrong with being a novice. Weren't we all one at some time? They act like YOU should go to bed one night and get up the next day a full fledged guru. Not so, my friend. You have to pay for your education. It does not come cheap. It takes time and work and experience and money. For some all the time and work and experience is meaningless. They get sidetracked along the way and all growth stops. They latch onto a very simple thought and never move beyond it. Something like, "if you want to be the king of the markets you must remain bullish" That is a quote from a perma bull I know. He learned that the market always eventually goes up. That wasn't hard to figure out. All you have to do is look at a long term chart. It could be a lack of humility, it could be just laziness or looking for an easy way to bilk people out of their money. He stopped in his growth at the door. The bottom line is that there is no short cut. That is why if you are struggling to survive in the market, or you just need some help and guidance, you better be very careful when you pick a mentor. Nothing wrong with picking a mentor. I did. He taught me an awful lot. Then at a certain point I moved on. That doesn't mean that I am not constantly looking for more knowledge. It's a journey, not a destination.
