*** Thank you for explaining how you came across this individual and why/how he got into the office. I understand you had no idea of what this parasite was all about at the time : I understand he fooled you too. All of his issues of ego, of pettiness, of cravings for power and control could...

I now understand better why people shy away from the combine. :)

no. Only if you start trading 4, 5, 6, 10 when you said you'd only go for 3.

I am feeling so generous that I'd be willing to fork the fees for some ET members as long as they put a link to their combine while doing it. :D :D :D And they are getting forex as well soon!

Didn't Patack offer a FREE combine to any EliteTrader member who is ready to get while doing a combine his link to his record posted as well? I think this deal is still available. So if anybody wants to save the 400$ fee : another "barrier to success" has been removed!

It is a shame that the things at ET got to a point where you had to justify your credentials to many people who have not. As far as I am concerned you made sense : critical thinking is something your learn when studying pure mathematics for many years. yes there is something like a...

Very good question. I think they were imagining that they'd have thousands of excellent traders they could fund. This not being the case, and adding to the cost of running a business, and the desire to make profits MIGHT explain the increased fees. I have looked to this company very carefully...

I remember that they removed the rules because some traders complained that these rules were "barriers to success". Even better they introduced a combine where aspirants could decide what rules they would abide to themselves. It would be interesting to know what rule did the trader broke that...

Without counting the added bonus of attentive ET commentators commenting on any observations/problems one could encounter there. :)

I hope the mods are not into silencing critical voices. :) It looks like April fool month is a generous month : someone I know has quadrupled a six fig. trading account in few days and is now taking the year off. I guess daytrading is worth it in this type of situations.

I would play the game with a stop at 100$ loss, and stop at 100$ win. Aka : as soon as I lose 100$, I stop. If I win 100$ ( 97$) I take the money then, and stops. for 97$, I go and see a film. :)

I'll say that drownpruf has a point : though the person is profitable, obviously the reason about being in trading is to get far more than one would by going on an entry level normal career ladder and not bothering much on the job. I think it will be interesting to see in the 12 months, how...

not necessarily true, as the person is misleading others. Stock777 thanks for the warnings. After years of shouting in the desert, you have been heard and proven right. I think it took time because most did not really understand how it was a scam - videos, pictures explaining the scamming...

very average. But I'll take it as it comes from my being a very slow learner, hence the need of more efforts than others. .:)

Thanks for the book title. added on my list.

another reason : psychology/spirituality, where the deep reasons are outside trading, but trading is used as a vehicle to achieve it.

That is the problem with these agencies: they take ages and ages to arrive, but once they move they move very fast. Now, everyone could do their bit : tipping them off with as much as facts as possible with names, phone numbers and addresses. Let's make their work easier.:) www.fbi.gov ...

May be just for a change, you MIGHT want to target just one tick for one full year. :)
