He last posted earlier this year. Did you personally know him and what happen to him ??? wrbtrader

The info about having a bias and what to look for is something I think is critically important that must occur prior to the appearance of any trade signal (trade). Without it, the trade signal that shows up has no merit even though its a valid trade signal. Money management and the Other...

Also, I want to point out that there are many trade journals here at ET where the OP (thread starter) of those threads state that their trade methods are backtested and they had "positive expectancy" and some then went on to simulate trade the backtested trade method and the results were...

Markets change several times every year via volatility alone. Discretionary traders (intuition or rule base) must change when market conditions change or simply recognize the changed environment and then use the appropriate trade strategy suitable for that new environment. Thus, to...

Psychological trading coaches are being hired today at many institutional trading firms. Heck, there's now a TV series called Billions that has a pscychological trading coach via the character name Wendy Rhoades (psychiatrist) played by Maggie Siff...

I got involved into trading prior to college and then continued through college with trading although my academic study/degree had nothing to do with trading. My trading account was funded by my old man...an ex floor trader on the CME that later quit due to health reasons (panic attacks & heart...

Do you still have your job or did you quit it to pursue a career in trading or did you put your family in a difficult financial situation via your trading ??? That should answer if you classify yourself as Idiot #2 (the 9 to 5 one) in Brett's article. Traders should never quit their jobs to...

You really need to search and find the chat on your own. I will not post the info for you nor guide you to it after you accussed me falsely of telling Alfing to not post at this forum along with intentionally replying back to me in that offensive large/red caps in an effort to drive home your...

Breakeven are in fact a losing trade because you need to pay the commissions on the trade (cost of entry, cost of exit, cost of missing other trade opportunities while allowing a profitable trade to retrace back to breakeven and costs associated with other business aspects of each trade)...

There's an advantage to trading with other traders in person... They can see trading behaviours & routines that you do in which we online folks are clueless about. In fact, what others see about your trading via watching you in person while you trade in your trading environment gives you a...

Some avoid it while others do not. I do remember many institutional traders using private chat on Bloomberg to conspire about positions. Eventually they got caught...fined and some fired. My point, professional traders working for institutional trading firms use chat but obviously for...

Your large caps clearly misunderstood my message post. I did not say "don't discuss". In contrast, I specifically recommended to discuss at this forum in the private thread section to avoid the trolls or non-believers that tend to show up in Al Brooks threads. In addition, I did not say I did...

I'm talking about his free forum at his website...not the fee trade room. In contrast, there use to be a free chat room on IRC (Othernet server). Thus, there's a difference between trade room for a fee versus a chat room for free. Yet, I don't remember the name of the free chat room on...

Anything can be discussed at this forum...one of the reasons why this forum is above the competition (other forums). Yet, Al Brooks is a controversial topic...almost all the "public" threads here about Al Brooks are just basic arguments & personal attacks on both sides of the camp...a lot of...

Why not just join Al Brooks forum ??? I always wonder why people go to other forums like here at ET (elitetrader.com) to ask for those using the methods to communicate with them about their use of the methods (Al Brooks) when the guy has his own forum for such type of communication especially...

Its just another peak into how / why the odds are stacked against most traders.Yet, my favorite is still the collusion between major institutional trading firms & banks involving the forex markets. wrbtrader

Largest profit versus largest loss during the winning streak ? 19 trades during what length (time span) ? How many of the 19 trades were strictly via your trading plan or how many during that streak were outside of your trading plan ? Automated trader ? I'm just curious. wrbtrader

You're not wrong. I myself became suspicious of this practice in 2014 - 2016 via the "marketsurfer facade" (multiple user names & multiple bans & multiple IP addresses)... He remained after all of that and then was eventually granted sponsorship after all of the attacks on book authors, TA...

My best friend from college falls under one of those "Dynasty Trusts" out of Wisconsin that was setup by her great grandfather. Her grandfather, her father and she & siblings have never worked a day in their life beyond the casual volunteer work at hospitals or charities. I loved the look on...

Changing your lifestyle, diet and exercise along with medical therapies will help. Changing careers will help too because trading is not suitable for everyone...financially nor psychologically. Too many retail traders (most) get involved with trading as a way to solve their financial problems...
