$100K is a small fortune? ROFLMAO!

I agree. I'm just pointing out that without the entire picture of a person's business, there's no way to know whether or not that person is hiding the bad news. No one hides bad news on their tax returns, because it's too expensive to do so -- especially over 5 consecutive tax years. So...

I appreciate your comments. I'm not really looking for anyone to accept my offer. And, your viewpoint is probably the best that anyone is likely to give -- for free or otherwise.

You are. The legal profession is not flush with lawyers scamming people for identity theft. You are describing an anomaly and trying to suggest that it has the same predictive weight as what goes on in the private investment advice industry -- where such scams are notorious. Do you have...

LOL. Okay, a two way street makes perfect sense. You will give me your tax returns and I'll pay you, and I will give you my tax returns and you'll pay me. Of course, my returns will cost more than yours -- a lot more. Also, a clever mentor could produce audited trading records from only...

As an attorney, I am legally obligated to keep client information confidential, and communications are subject to privilege. If someone were to show me their tax returns and required me to keep them confidential, that's exactly the way they would stay. If I failed to do so, I could be sued...

Okay, anyone want pizza and beer in exchange for 5 years worth of tax returns and mentoring? ROFLMAO!

Frankly, I think any commission where you can't get out with a profit on a penny roundtrip is too much, because it causes you to have to think about whether or not to pull the trigger and save yourself.

I won't flame you. I've pretty much done everything you've described above except that I did it from home. The problem, in my experience is the "decent commission rate" and getting credible executions, assuming that you find a decent rate (which goes to the issue of the "good prop shop")...

Snore.

I don't recall stating that you would be responsible for making me profitable. On the other hand, no one in their right mind (to use your phrase) would pay good money merely for the possibility that something they may receive in return might have some unascertainable future value. Which is...

I'm not begging. Work on your reading comprehension.

Concur.

Are we negotiating? No, it's not right. The more money that I'm paying, the more I will expect in return.

Another ad hominem. How quaint. Not sure why some many supposedly successful daytraders are so angry? I've already said, no one would be willing to train me. The thread issue is: does anyone make money intraday trading? Answer: probably, but good luck trying to prove it with substantial...

More ad hominem. What are you, 15 years old? I eat people like you for breakfast.

Well, it gets you $10K, and it gets me an opportunty to see someone actually daytrade for a living. Also, to clarify, I didn't say that I want to verify that you can make money. I can make money daytrading. I can't make a "living," which I regard as a minimum return of 100% net disposable...

I don't deny the existence of the "you either got it or ya ain't" argument. I've just never seen anyone who's actually "got it."

Ah, and now begins the ad hominems. I am one of the least lazy people you will ever encounter. And, tax returns as proof that someone can actually generate the income from a profession where there is no physical plant, employees, goodwill, etc., is a completely reasonable request...

There is no such thing as a "free" offer in my experience. Everything has an opportunity cost. Frequently something offered for free ends up being more expensive than something paid for.
