More signs you are dealing with a scam artist: 1. He does not disclose his real name. 2. He hangs out a lot on trading forums fishing for suckers (of course, some forums are better, the worst is futures.io, formerly the Big Mike Trading forum, a vendor syndicate).

Yep, these guys are good. I follow them on Twitter and check out their blog regularly. One of the best, non-bullshit sites out there, trading or not. I noticed that they have at least 4 Ph.D.s among their Twitter followers. Wanna guess how many follow Big Mike? I did not notice a single one...

You made a lot of good points. Of course, it all boils down to education. But also to critical thinking skills. Or thinking skills at all. Some people simply don't have them. Think about Big Mike and his sham, now re-invented as futures.io, before Big Mike Trading forum. He claims to have...

Probably only discretionary traders ;)

Definitely discretionary even though I am more of a systematic trader, but the best I have seen have been discretionary. One I know and benefited from his trading tools a bit is truly phenomenal. Very sharp guy too, a physics Ph.D., probably at least 150 IQ points. You gotta be sharp to be a...

I was banned there too after I questioned his BS. That's what I thought was the reason though he did not give me one, and all my posts have been expunged too. But I now see that there could also be another reason because obviously I too am Jewish. Well, good to know. Gives you some additional...

Well, if he can bash vendors and he is one of them then why is it inappropriate to treat him the same way he treats his competitors. The original poster simply wanted to have more information about what is going on in the elite part of the forum. That's how I read it. It's a fair inquiry. I...

Thanks. Your contributions to this thread do stand out. Finally, some bigmiker that I can respect.

This thread belongs to everyone who has something to say on topic. Otherwise, bug off and take your bigotry to the BMT forum where it can get all the protection it obviously deserves in the circle of right-minded people with all the right heritage.

I see the onslaught of bigmikers here. Brainless trolling, as usual, lame excuses for the IP theft, etc. I will address your BS one of these days. Keep it coming. You are doing an excellent job exposing the business and ethical standards of the BMT forum.

Circle jerk, LOL! I used to think of it as mental masturbation, but your description is even better. You are right about this forum. It is run by a vendor and manipulated by vendors and so no wonder that they control the place. No credibility whatsoever and you can be banned from there if...

I have my doubts about anyone doing biz with BM, and that includes this guy too. I find his huge Twitter following rather odd, which may mean it's fake. And if this is fake, who knows what else is. Even BM does not have that many followers on Twitter.

I read that stuff, all 4 books. Actually the last one in the series I only perused but intended to read it. I used to be a fan of his books, but I am now very much inclined to agree with electron. His books are indeed a lot about hero worshipping and stuff. There may be some value to them...

That actually made me rethink some things about these books and their author. Thanks.

Right. That was my point too. The word "science" is overused or even abused, sometimes for ulterior motives. The thing about science that no other field can boast of is its predictive power. We don't have this power even in economics, which is sometimes called "the dismal science." That...
