For those who asked, I no longer operate any type of trading room service. This week alone I'm doing a live trade workshop online for existing clients, it's a one-shot event that may never be repeated. It'll be fun but exhausting. I always enjoy all interaction with positive, open-minded...

Belief. Disbelief. Frustration. Fear. Anger. Those are all emotions each of us experiences on our path from fledgling to experienced trader. There are so many lessons to be learned along the way, the list is endless. A great number of aspiring traders hit a wall that seems insurmountable...

Great Morning! Version, I briefly paused from trading the ER2 due solely to liquidity on each tick. Two different months this year I made +500% returns, most other months +50% to +200% returns primarily in ER trading less than 20 contracts. Once I tried pushing 20 contracts, had a number...

Trimble, the WC contest is my own personal Mt. McKinley. I entered it in early Feb 2003 and led by late March with +300% gain trading ES alone. Then Iraq fell, volatility dried and my then method (oscillator reversals & divergence) dried up with it. I've honed my skills since then thru all...

I'm not trading for prize money... hence the donation to charity if it's $100k or whatever. I made this offer directed squarely towards any & all ET posters who slandered me once or a hundred times. My sole purpose for trading live in here is to force their hands at walking their very own...

Risk, I'm wiring $10k asap when confirmed to wherever it needs to go. I made the rules, let's keep the blind simple. Each trader is $10k buy in. If I win, my whole take goes to charity linked. Anyone else can do whatever they please with their victory cash :>)

Maharaja, I would expect to compound several 100% monthly. I'm treating any contest with similar controlled aggression that won the WC contest by both Williams, father & daughter. Account management is obviously key, and compund interest is the strongest force know to man.

Dear Trimble, First let me say I enjoyed your PM and am pleased to meet your accquaintance. You are part of the vast, silent majority here that everyone could learn a lot from. It'll be a pleasure trading with you, and I accept conditionally as well. This contest offer <b>must...

<b>Emini markets:</b> Most traders think the fall trading season kicks off day after Labor Day. They expect an instant return to volume and volatility. If I recall, Sep 2000 kicked off with waves of selling that spilled into the month. Since then, it is usually the second week or later before...

<b>Version</b>, it sounds like you really need a hug. Wish I could be there for ya, big guy :eek: Yes, no more name-calling unless I see snake-oil salesman with your byline on it. BTW... I'm always willing to forgive & forget everything for a new start, that is always on the table, too...

<i>"Grow up dude. Aren't you in your 40's somewhere? Act like it!"</i> <b>Version</b>, coming from you, there is no way for me to top that one tonight. Just not possible. I'll get on with some market = trading stuff next post... you left me utterly speechless on that one.

<b>Version</b>, I'm starting to like you. I really am. You're growing on me. You just keep hanging around and hanging around and hanging around like a spikehorn beneath my treestand. All season long, same little bucky keeps trotting out when the big boys aren't in sight. I always like to see...

Joab, it's been repeatedly accused that I cannot trade... cannot make one dime... total failure. That is the elluded to and sometimes outright written inside ET. I'm merely saying it is common opinion those same accusers are failed traders. Let's just have a friendly trade contest with...

No way IV, we're cool :>) You offered a positive, friendly post. I enjoy respectful disagreements, respectful chiding, respectful reprimanding... note the word respectful. When people without a right to post an opinion choose to attack me (and too many innocent newbies just trying to learn...

<i>"Hey Austin, I was reading through ET and saw what was going on. How did all this shit get started? I have talked to you several times with no problem and didn't even know that you have a service. Now that I know it still doesn't matter to me. I think it takes balls to do what you did and...

Hey Version, thank you for starting this thread! Where's your $10k? ** I emailed Barron and asked to have that thread deleted. It was rife with childish garbage, personal slander and a host of other crap. Hey, come to think of it, some of that was yours! If you have a problem with...

No publicity, Joab. Put up or shut up. Is that clear enough for ya?

<b>risk</b> matched, we need one more to play fair... who is it gonna be? All I want in this forum is to be left alone. Just let me post stuff I feel = hope is helpful, and give me the same respect I extend to everyone else. Is that asking too much? Apparently so, because a minority of...

<b>Bit</b>, thank you for that lingual correction. I have erred the spelling for ten years now, at least. Where were you when I needed correction before? Glad the elder Passamontes' weren't hip to the web. (hearty laugh)

Bit, just Yahoo! word search paisano and you'll see what I got. Been writing it that way for many years, you had me worried I was dead wrong all that time. :>) If it weren't for other info vendors, I probably would have washed out of trading before now. The old b.s. about testing, tweaking...
