    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    in his first book "reading price charts bar by bar" he dedicated 9 pages to it. I'm not joking, the chapter on 'breakouts' is literally 9 pages. The book is 400 pages long. So tell me how this makes any sense? Why would anyone that preaches traders focus on breakouts for the largest edge...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    what if commissions were still rigged and it cost 100 dollars per round trip? what if there was no globex because special interests weren't interested in opening up the markets? what if specialists on the floor made sure any orders coming in were screwed? now tell me about how you are not a...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    ok, how about the sec? should people just take responsibility to figure it all out when it comes the companies they choose to invest in? we dont NEED to invest, we CHOOSE to invest. but the sec has done a lot in making sure the prospectus is correct, the financials are correct, etc etc.. you...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    this argument doesn't hold up. how could anyone possibly argue AGAINST a more transparent trading education industry? that is INSANE! ever hear of the FDA? if it wasn't for consumers complaining about being sold tainted meat or snake oil drugs that didn't work, we wouldn't be where we are...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    nobody has to buy an infomercials product that tells you how to make millions buying and selling real estate either, but guess what, they got brought down because they are deceptive and guess what else, they had disclaimers. so i dont want to hear nonsense about you dont have to buy it or...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    its not about sueing someone im more interested in bringing them out of the shadows. there has to be a government body that has jurisdiction over this stuff. forget the disclaimers. infomercials have disclaimers also but they have been penalized big time for selling shit advertised as gold...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    its amazing that ninetrans guy isnt worth 20 mill by now. you read some of his older posts and day in day out he is making 4-8 pts. i found that interesting then i realized it was using ninja playback. so another question would be how to go about finding out if al brooks is a fraud? is there...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    the more i think about it, i think al's entire foundation of his body of work is junk science at best. that is, he puts a lot of emphasis on individual bars, whether they are large trend bars, doji's, reversal bars etc yet i dont think they have one ounce of meaning in terms of predictive value...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    i have his book and now that my eyes are open (meaning im not WANTING this to work) i just pick apart every other page with his contradictions while i laugh to myself. an obvious clue to the ridiculousness of his method is the amount of weight he puts into, are you ready for it..... a...

    Who Is A Bad Trader?

    My biggest foolish error was being drawn to futures. Simply put, trading futures is too hard. I should have started with stock trading where you can disperse your plan over many many stocks simultaneously with smaller share size. Kids, dont even bother with futures. Also, another...

    Does Al brooks even use stop orders?

    he says that he cannot make calls in his room since he is not registered with the nfa as that would be breaking some kind of rule. interestingly enough though, he tells you when he exits. pretty silly.

    Does Al brooks even use stop orders?

    its interesting, i must have read hundreds of thousands of words that he has written and to be honest, it just doesnt make any sense. not the concepts, they do make sense, but all the contradiction without any explanation as to why one day a trade is ok, and another its not ok. its just...

    Does Al brooks even use stop orders?

    All he does is recommend stop orders to enter a trade and i read an interview on him from a few years ago where he mentioned that is all he does is enter on stops. Reading his website though, he sometimes mentions trades he takes and they are never stop orders. he seems to always mention...
