[barral01]

People retire when have all trackers they need.

you are a retired trader yourself znik so why don't u tell us ?

Well some declare tehy are retired ,some declare they anti-traders to get some trackers but also some really retired either because of lack of interest or because they are satisfied or they decided to take the other road by not trading since it's chances is much better than before in getting the trackers they want

Personally as an ex-trader i have nothing to be ashamed of during my trading career ,i have met alot of friends,i have known alot of good persons.i retired mainly because i have been pretty much satisfied with what i have from quite atime besides lack of time lately ,i believe also alot of traders are doing great job in helping members by giving away alot of invites

I was gunna retire, but I decided that it would go against my name

You are what you have made of yourself here. I have traded, and I have done giveaways. I would like to think of myself as a helpfull trader, not some tracker collecting mad man trader.
I feel peoples past posts give a good idea of who they are, and putting 'retired' in you title/sig doesn't change your past.

I think he's just talking about those who advertises their "retired status" in their signatures, below their avatars, etc.

Not necessarily all former traders.

IMO
you can be whatever you want to be
you choose for yourself but when someone advertises hiself as a retired trader is kinda fishy
it's like he is telling us i'm sorry or i was wrong or asking us for something in return
if you want to stop just stop
don't go in the streets shouting i quit like you were on crack

Well i retired because of lack of interest, i did just a few trades when i traded aswell, to get up to levels where i could do giveaways that where appriciated by people, not just giving away invites to piratebay.org. After that i retired and stopped trading and started to make giveaways, and people are much cooler to you when you have stopped trading really. I haven't gotten myself any invites by doing this way, but when i want invites in giveaways, people know i won't trade 'em.

So i think it is totally okay to "retire".

[SAM]

it's okay to retire but not okay to tell everyone in the world you did
why do you want people to know you retired ?!

Its nothing wrong about it, but nothing really good also. Maybe ppl can avoid getting called "trader" by some kiddos.. Same thing as with anti-trading.
