Easily counted. Simply multiplied roughly how many hours I spent on average every day on how many years approximately it took (assuming one year is 220 working days). :)

About 12000 hours I think.

Why do you want to tell market tops/bottoms?

I have nothing against Jack, even appreciate time spent chatting with him (when I had a different username here :p ), but regarding performance... When asked, almost any trader can give calls or show his/her trades, there is no problem about it unless you exploit some rare edge, which can easily...

Yea, and it becomes their worst fear, very hard to overcome. Only fantastic focus and willpower allow to keep doing things right to eventually get the winning experience and mental/emotional associations related to trading then change... for a few who get to that stage.

Jack Hershey, I have one idea why so much negativity around your teachings. When I got interested in it back in 2007 and we chatted about it, it looked good, but during discussion on the forum it often leaves impression like you state the possibility to close/reverse nearly every trade for a...

Probably those who ask for those, either subconsciously (or even consciously) want to see the proof that trading is possible (to confirm their hopes about it) or hear a refuse to confirm their beliefs that it's impossible (in their logic, everyone who refuses to spend his/her valuable time to...

True that. That's why trading and traders are so interesting from psychological point of view. Situation of constant ambiguity creates perfect conditions for classic psychological phenomena associated with beliefs, success, failure, self-control etc.

You are welcome to be in the move ahead of me, I have nothing against. :) Personally, I don't try to be cute and be first in and first out, instead I wait for confirmed signals with enough potential to get the "meat" of the move and that's it. One old and experienced trader taught me this...

Yeah, but something is simple (not easy, simple). :) Probably Jack trades well, I don't know, just seems a bit redundant to trade profitably to me. :)

So that's how Jack got rich... :D

Likely I don't... Not that I care too much. It looks too complicated anyway. :)

Of course because I am paid propagandist. :D

Sounds fair to me. Trading is a very scalable profession, so there MUST be very low % of consistently profitable private traders. It's a good things IMO, not bad. Those who don't like this fact may work at McD, guess failure rate there is much lower. :D

So 1% is well profitable when trading? Of course, who of those who just do it would care to prove something to forum sceptics? Trolling them is much more fun. :D

Know it more or less, spent at least a month back in 2007 chatting with him personally. From what I remember he's mostly based on price action and some volume added there.

LOL

1) 1 mln attempts is likely the same people trying over and over. 2) The fact that 85-90% lose means that 10-15% win, right? 3) Why would anyone consistently profitable participate in contests? Consistency and maximum short-term profitability are not very well mixed if you get what I mean...

It looks to me Jack just over complicates trading way too much.

I never said I will provide it to you. I only ASKED QUESTIONS. :) Now, you didn't answer my question about athletes. You don't like athletes? Let's try different question: many % of young guys who try to create a rock/pop band become rock/pop stars? :p
