yeah, the corner shop guy has really good quality of life...no vacations, insane hours, no relief when he needs time off and constant business worries, supplier worries, customer worries....

Not that much of a compliment since $300 a day is probably what a Walmart manager makes. If you want to make millions a year, then maybe he is not the man, i don't know.

Why? The Walmart guy probably makes more money and has no risk.

I disagree. I have a feeling that Al Brooks is quite genuine. If you want to make a net average of a $300 a day, he's your man.

This is not true since you have massive interest in Vic Niederhoffer and he is certainly not a 'solidly proven successful entity' (blew up at least 3x)

Does Brook's stuff have any relevance for higher time frames such as daily or weekly? I have zero interest in 5 min bars.

yeah, he quit a high paid, prestigious job to make a measly (no disrespect to californian fast food worker Q3D) $30k a year...how do you make ends meet on $30k a year and send 2 kids to Ivy league colleges?

Can you elaborate how you came to this conclusion (specifically what investigation did you do) and why it took years to figure out? How do you know he has no profitable students? As for just looking for money, he offers a 100% refund on his course within 30 days if dissatisfied. Do you have...

From my limited reading of his website, i would say you are wrong.

i just went onto brooks site...doesn't say anything about being a retired trader. Seems he sell courses and books too and offers 100% money back on the courses (which are only a couple of hundred bucks in the first place!). Had a brief gander at a ebook he gives out when you take up the course...

emotional intelligence v 'normal' intelligence.

$30k, whilst not peanuts to you or the fast food workers of California, it is peanuts in the world of money management. If no one knows the average 5 min pa trader's return, then how can you say it's lower than what brooks would have me believe? And why have you upped it from 500k to 600k...

Why half a million a year? How much on average do those who trade ES off 5 min bars make?

He has 3 daughters, 1 is at Stanford another at Harvard. I believe the cost to attend these fine institutions is a fair penny. He therefore must be making some money from the markets since he only charges peanuts for his books and courses.

shorted a little oil after numbers came out (brent 50.25) on thesis that US heading towards recession

manufacturing employment much worse than expected -17k v +5k expected....is US heading towards recession?

173k...lot less than 220k expected hourly earnings higher though at 0.3% v 0.2% expected bit mixed unlikely rate increase in sept... expect ES to be a little lower today

Markets trend in all time frames. In fact, if you make money on a directional trade, by definition, you were in the correct trend for the time you were in the trade. If you lose, you were trading counter trend for the time you were in the trade. Therefore, the best and most risk free way to...

good to know you write simple books, covel....lol
