    You probably thought Franz Shoar of Traders International was making $150K a day and defended his 'determination' in spite of those who said he was a fraud. Did you believe David Scheuermann was only working in his own self interest in bringing the fraud at TI to daylight... None of...

    SCT High Velocity Profits Q and A Journal

    Once there is agreement that: The SCT approach as taught by Jack on ET does not work. Then SCT concepts can be discussed to determine which part of Jack's method has merit. Sweeps, channels, spike/2pair, FFT, FBO, R2B-B2R, etc., etc., etc. What parts of this method are helpful? That...

    SCT High Velocity Profits Q and A Journal

    Thank you Spydertrader. Where has Jack posted any future execution reports on ET? Can you suggest where I can find them? Where they have been posted outside of ET I believe they have been immediately followed by unaddressed questions and skepticism. 'Many traders'? Spyder you know 'many'...
