    Credibility testing with a private forum?

    If you want to rid the site of the idiots/complainers/whiners then charge something like 10-20 bucks a month. I would guarantee that it would wash out a lot of the idiots. It would definitely rid the site of aliases (we all know certain long time members use aliases, they have to use them...

    Who do you "follow" on ET

    You're welcome man. Glad some of my posts have been helpful. Unfortunately this place has really become mostly whiners who constantly complain they can't make money trading and those who just come on here to try and knock other methods of trading. Got very old to me. I still check on here once...

    Save The Date-- An Extraordinary Evening Awaits at Addison Mizner's Estate

    I saw, the guy dressed in jeans. Nice to see as some of us non pink pants wearing guys were in attendance. Congrats man. Looks like you guys have come a long way from a few hanging out at Bradley's. Nice work. Although I gotta admit I am more of a Bradley's-drink beer-beach crowd type of person...

    I'm 21 years old, couldn't enter University, planning to trade full-time.

    Agree 100%. One of the guys I was lucky enough to trade by for a bit was exactly like this. If you watched him and the 10 guys on the desk for a day or two you would not guess which one was by far the most successful. The guy is a legend in the futures game now. But....was always very...

    How To Spot A Con Man

    I think those people who bought an item in the late 80's and opened up a box inside to find shredded paper and a rock felt they had been conned. Oh wait....it was a pet rock. Never mind. Remember those things? Were a big seller when I was a kid.

    I'm 21 years old, couldn't enter University, planning to trade full-time.

    Yep. Over the years the best ones I have been around are very down to earth and don't go blabbing around about how they do. Some have been open to sharing their approach, but more of them worked very hard to get where they got, so were pretty quiet about what they did. Depended on who approached...

    How To Spot A Con Man

    Yep same here. We take our dogs to Lake Ida dog park. Waves were huge out there for a smaller lake. Some guys on bass boats floating around. I would imagine the bass fishing isn't so great when the lake gets like that. I tried pm'ing you but am blocked for some reason. Was I that much of an...

    How To Spot A Con Man

    Yep. The words "Family Office" are thrown around a lot down here. Totally see that. The guy I met with seems EXACTLY like the person you describe. He claimed to be an heir but basically seemed like he was broke. He did mention something about trying to get money from his sister. There def...

    How To Spot A Con Man

    I think the worst one was a guy down here who shared the same last name of a famous family. He claimed to have access to 50 million dollars because he was indeed a part of that family. He had come upon a trading system (yes...one of those....one that would be on the right side of every huge SP...

    I didn't realize it was that late. I thought it was much earlier than 2014. Kind of blows a hole in that theory of his. Honestly who really gives a crap about likes and all of that. I mean I have 28 followers to his 5, does that mean I am a better poster ???? :D At the end of the day all of...

    Sell, Sell!

    I remember my buddies from the OEX pit telling me about the buying and selling of NCAA hoop teams during March Madness. CRAZY amounts of money won and lost. Whenever there was a low seed that made it near the end guys would get obliterated being short them.

    I'm 21 years old, couldn't enter University, planning to trade full-time.

    I couldn't agree more. Trading is a very very tough game. You really have to put most of your energy into your own trading (working on your strategy, identifying weakness and correcting,working on other strategies,exploring other markets,keeping emotions in check....and on and on). Worrying...

    I'm 21 years old, couldn't enter University, planning to trade full-time.

    Trust me, I liked trading in the old days with specialists and floor brokers. Back then you could believe what you saw on the screen as far as bid/offers. While I don't let algos or HFT effect what I do, I'm not a fan of them. It's funny, when I started trading equities in 1992 the idea of...

    I just got off the phone with Deloitte Touche. They are working on my audit now. I will post it once they finish.

    I'm 21 years old, couldn't enter University, planning to trade full-time.

    It's fine to ask questions man, but this all started when I stated I said I am private and don't talk about how I do. I sat on the same desk with the same 10 guys for 5 years at one point. They never had a clue about how I did. Most of my good friends on that desk and in the trading world are...
