That's because people who are having success on the market don't waste their time proving their success on iHub all day long. People use the forums to figure out how to get the system down. It only comes with practice!
Okay. How many are there? I've read quite a bit on the Monk's Den board, and the conclusion I've come to is that most--even Blockman--are still paper trading. I've noticed that many say they're neither losing or making a great deal, on paper or live. Down a few hundred, up a few hundred, and that's for a week or two's trading.
I've seen very few claim they're making serious money trading live.
Sometimes, we go back to papertrading when we have learned something new. No sense in using real money to help fine tune something new. That was something that Monk teaches in his class. Never use real money to practice something new. It was very sound advice.
