I would definitely have to agree with that. I just finished my sophomore year of college and when I first started trading, I also got arrogant. Eventually I went through a draw-down period, got smacked back to reality and matured out of it. I am sure that you have done the same Tim. Anyway...

Thank you Longhorns for that reply. I am glad that someone here is capable of properly supporting their argument. Since you provided excerpts from his writing as a basis for your opinions, I can now see that your opinions are not based on nothing. Is that from a book he actually previously wrote...

It seems that you are hell bent on starting an argument with me SiSePuede. I have stated rather implicitly that I will be using the the book to get both sides of the story, not to completely shape my opinion on the matter. Please take a moment to read that last sentence carefully since you seem...

I prefer to call it being rational.

Yes, I would wait. I have my notions but they are not definitive since I do not know enough of the story. I do not think most of us will for years to come. You may or may not end up replying to this post with a bit of hostility. Just note that I will not turn this into a political discussion...

In that case EPrado, I have misunderstood you. I was under the impression that this was just an all out bashing-free-for-all on both a professional and personal level. Regardless, I am still going to wait for the book before I start believing everything. His image is a creation of the media and...

How do you know how he attempts to depict himself in the book? Have you read it? From what I have seen, most of the information floating around about this guy varies from place to place and his image is a creation of TV editing. Judging him based on that without giving him the opportunity to...

He said it himself that given his trading style, he will most likely never see yearly profits on that scale. I forgot which page it is in this thread, but it is in here. Furthermore, I can see that my posts in this thread are on the verge of igniting a hostile argument. The main point of my...

EPrado, you say that as if publishing a book is a matter of writing up a few pages and hitting print a thousand times. There is more to it than that or we would all become successful authors. And yes, I said "successful" since I am almost certain that this book will sell nicely - enough to make...

I am not going to bother fully reading this entire thread because it is just too damn long and redundant. Everyone keeps bashing this guy every chance that they get over and over again. I am not speaking on Tim's behalf but from my perspective, it seems that this situation is a depiction of...

If I was just trading normally reading off of charts and such, I don't think it would make much of a difference. However, I heavily rely on custom software and trading systems to aid in my trading if not trade for me. A faster HD hastens the development process significantly. In short, yes, it...

Check out Verizon FIOS. They are well priced (less than $80 per month I think) and is extremely fast... from what I hear well over 5mbps download. http://www22.verizon.com/content/ConsumerFios I am not sure where you live but in NY you can also check out Optimum Online. I use them and I...

I have a friend of mine that has a more powerful processor and better RAM than I do but his HD is 7200 rpm and my one is 10000 rpm. My computer boots faster than his, windows installed much quicker and many programs load faster. His computer was also about $1000 more expensive than mine so the...

Today brought forward some more profit. The system made profit on both trades that it gave today - the first a 2 contract / 3.25 pts profit per contract trade and the second a 1 contract / 1.5 pts profit trade. Both trades were on the ESZ. Overall this has been a great month. At this rate...

I am using eSignal to run the system. Admittedly, it is not the most advanced platform but it does the job. I have been searching for a new platform for some time now but I am uncertain as to what to switch to. I am seriously considering Matlab, Excel, or developing my own blackbox solution...

Another +2.0 point x 2 contract ES system trade today. Accuracy has just crossed the 92% mark. :)

You could setup a a server / client system using sockets to link your two computers . If the two computers are on the same network and the program you are using can read and write text files, there is an easier way. On you first computer, whenever an order gets filled have your program...

The system looks like it might stay flat for the day... too early to tell. Anyway, got an equity curve drawn up to show the results. It's back-test results but for the past 2 months or so, those trades were given in real-time. If you want to see the exact daily win/loss, go to the page...

See attached image :)

Another +3.25 profit on the ES today. I will call it a day since Bernanke is speaking now.
