This whole stuff about sharing ideas.... and whether its right or wrong... Most people don't have what it takes to daytrade. For example... I stopped daytrading a while ago but did so today because by chance I happened to see a too good to pass up trade in gold, and took it. Then started...

Just have to say... how can you not love Nodoji's posts.... LOL couldn't help but chuckle when I read this analogy.... "a razor-sharp scalpel for removing cash from the markets." That line is literally begging for you-know-who to come in and challenge it... LOLOL.... :p

Since it seems most of this trolling issue is revolving around TA believers and non believers.... Most of the "detractors" and "trouble-makers" are asking fair questions and I don't see how silencing them is beneficial for anyone. If this were a university with vetted instructors and we had...

In looking for mentors.... it is important to remember that ET is not a professional networking site. Nor is it an educational site. Maybe it can be in some situations but to come here looking for such will lead to disappointment. So before complaining about the quality of education...

fwiw I hope it is all real.... but I don't for sure know whether it is or it isn't..... I only know that it is an incredible tale of rags to riches that has inspired many to have stars in their eyes!!! :D pampers and gerber...... LOL..... chill out dude

Yeah..... that GIF of NoDoji postings is something else. But you have to admit.... have you heard a more compelling success story? I also put much time into reading forum gurus in the past so am familiar with it. I think it goes like this.......... Housewife with no trading experience...

Worst advice ever? How about these.... * Trading for a living is actually pretty easy, it's the trader who makes it so difficult. * You want to trade futures in a 5k account? Yes it can definitely work! Just keep your stops really tight, around 8-10 ticks max. * Trading for a living is no...

Regarding the analogy of pharmaceuticals and Brooks (and all other vendors for that matter) always showing winning trades..... it's simple....... advertising Let's say I have an energy drug that boosts your energy and stamina 50% of the time you take it, and the other 50% of the time does...

I agree the circular discussions are pointless and seem to have been going on since before I ever heard of ET. Hopefully Visaria starts a separate thread to give his final report on the course.... this has gone wayyyyyy off topic.... LOL Personally I have come to think a lot of the stuff I see...

Yes it is a strange article. I know almost everyone loses money in trading but still I thought most knew better than this.... I thought, ‘this has got to come back up,’ but I’m still waiting for that. Too bad they didn't go to a prop firm and find some real traders. Wonder how they found...

But isn't that why trading is so difficult and stressful? Because there will always be discretion involved.... Even for an automated trader there is still discretion involved in deciding whether or not a system needs to be modified or even taken offline completely. I do agree in spirit...

I share this experience. I would guess that most widely followed gurus possess this quality. I can remember feeling this way reading the work of some trading gurus as well as of a couple of people here in this forum. I agree it was almost hypnotic. Truly strange. here's an example.... in...

fwiw it looks like he still does accept donations..... http://www.brookspriceaction.com/lwdonate.php

I think the problem with Brooks is students are expecting him to teach them how to make a living in the markets. Problem is I don't believe he makes a living trading, so I don't see how he could teach you something that he can't do himself. He's just a guy who is very passionate about trading...

One of the things that inspired me when I started in trading was Mark Minervini's book...... If you click on the book cover you can read the introduction where he tells his story. I don't know how he has done since then. He still markets himself with his 1990's performance without...

Also wanted to mention I remember this question of vendors not being allowed to post performance came up on Big Mike's..... and I recall Mike saying it was bullshit. LOL :D I think the gist of it was that making live calls could get you in trouble if you are not doing it correctly and with the...

My understanding is that there is nothing illegal about sharing your trading results. Look at ProTraderEd who was outed as a fraud on BigMike's for faking his daily trade blotters.... he had done that for many years and NFA never came after him. Dan Zanger and Mark Minervini still market...

I've read more than once that unsuccessful traders sometimes have really good ideas... they just aren't skilled enough to exploit those ideas for whatever reasons. So there could be some value in his ideas.... There might be enough there for a diligent struggler to go from totally clueless and...

We don't know what his wife did for a living.... just because the kids are at expensive schools doesn't mean Al is paying for it.... maybe the wife is paying for it, or maybe the kids are taking out loans....

This from 2009...... Al Brooks, 56, is a self taught/self made day trader who has traded for his own account for 20 years. He started out in medicine after attending the University of Chicago, where he also did his ophthalmology residency. The pull of trading was with him early, as during his...
