    Motivation for Trading

    A very good friend of mine asked me why I started to trade considering it was so risky, etc... Then I remembered Sekoya saying in Market Wizards that you get what you want from the markets... I began to reflect and realized that my true motivation was freedom. Freedom from being told what...

    Back Testing....."Paradoxically" Speaking

    Back Testing....."Paradoxically" Speaking

    January Trading Journals

    I have learned a great deal from your journals, Hitman. Specifically you have shown me the proper mindset to alienate everyone simultaneously refusing to learn from anyone, no matter how profitable or helpful they are. Is this what they teach you at Worldco, or are you just so elegantly...

    ChatRoom Operations

    Hypothetically, if I went to law school I would say that you only have to disclose that you are not a registered investment advisor, and that the information contained in your material (website, radio show, book) is for entertainment purposes only. And that disclaimer would have to be...

    In the end, message boards like ET will survive not due to vendors, or their critics, but by those who are learning, those willing to learn, and those who have learned, and are wiling to share for they remember what it was like to be learning. I am learning, and still find ET extremely...
