Hope it was a good dinner. So your wife is correct but the world's greatest trader is wrong? (you used the same argument elsewhere comparing Brooks and Victor N, so thought i would try it on you :D)

No, i couldn't care less. Anything i learn from him, i subject to my own thinking and testing.

Lol, nice one. Are you trained in statistical analysis?

This leads me to another point: having read The Alchemy Of Finance (first read it in 1995), i still can't trade like Soros (his less than 30% win rate is tough to endure for starters), but I can and have picked up info that has made me a better trader. In a similar vein, this is what i want to...

You should read George Soros's The Alchemy of Finance, specifically his diary of where he explains what trades he took and why. If you can figure out what the hell he's on about, you are a better man than me! Funny thing is that if you did read that (actually not just you, anyone) and you...

I'm looking for specific protocols that may enhance my own trading. I was perusing Brook's site, came across some free videos, watched one of them and some offhand comment that Brooks made was intriguing. I backtested the 'comment' and found it promising. Hence my interest in his course...there...

I intend to study this course intently and see if there is anything that will enhance my trading. If not, I will request a full refund ($249). There are 36 hours of videos to watch. I'll make notes on each video with a critical eye. I intend to watch 3 to 4 hours a day. I will post my...

better question is whether trend following has positive expected value

not taunting anyone, simply stating we are here to make money.

Are u looking to capitalise on your opinion? Making money, now that's what counts, predictions are fun but they don't add to the bottom line ya know.

Just a hunch or is there some reasoning behind this bold assertion?

Thanks for advice. It's something he mentioned off hand in a video. I found it intriguing. Tested it out (went back years). Pretty good. Logical too. One of those 'why didn't i think of that' type moments. Thanks to Q3d for putting Brooks on my radar. I think he's genuine btw, certainly not a...

I was perusing al brook's site again today. saw something on one of his videos that was intriguing. tested it out, very promising.

If we assume they made exactly 35% every year after fees (say 40% performance fee and 5% management fee) and fees were deducted at the end of the year, then before fees they made 63.64% a year, over 11 years. If they started with a billion dollars and just kept compounding at 35% a year, the...

You haven't provided any evidence of fraud. You keep making accusations without anything to back them up. I truly hope Al brooks sees your allegation, finds your real identity and sues your arse for defamation.

I deleted my post telling you to f-off (apols for that)...but either contribute something which has relevance to this thread or u go on ignore.

The point was that VN himself is NOT a successful trader. Interestingly, VN has taught others and they are successful. This means that Brooks etc might also not be successful but may be capable of teaching others to be successful. I can live with this.
