    Rockwell Trading (Marks Heitkoetter) BUSTED!

    Back in 2012, Fritz had already called out Heikotter's scam. (https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/a-list-of-all-scam-unregulated-3rd-party-educational-vendors.212110/page-62#post-3408499) Fritz had even setup a blog page on his exposing of it, with updates from 2009 to 2018...

    Futures.io - anyone an elite member ?

    I'd forgotten to mention, to be fair, the elite section of futures.io is isolated and protected from public viewing and there is an elite journal section, so journals and threads can be created or posted to and viewable only within the elite membership; and they're some archive webinars in the...

    Futures.io - anyone an elite member ?

    I got an elite membership a long time ago. bigmike's been around since 2009 or so. In my opinion, it's mostly been a retail trader centric forum with a bias to the ninjatrader platform and (sim) trading ES or crude as mentioned. There are a few "resident" vendors on the site with their own AMA...

    Took out a loan to transition to full-time trading. 24 years old.

    I looked a few of your streamed videos. Sorry, but it seems you are often using up most if not all your available margin value of your account leaving very little room for error. Also at this scale (1min chart?) and used leverage it's entirely too risky to leave positions unattended and not...

    Barry Taylor, emini-watch.com and his "BETTER INDICATORS"

    I have the old versions when they were standalone and they aren't really entry signals. After watching his periodic videos back then and trying them out, I've come to believe they're no better than any other indicators. For example the better pro-am shows signs of more volume where it bases...

    College Is Not An Option

    It's true community colleges don't usually have pilot classes, but they do have the air mechanic programs at community college cost basis. There is also a decent job market for air mechs where there's usually demand throughout the country from what I've heard. And otherwise, some aviation...

    Trading rooms for beginners at swing trading?

    Heed the warning. Ross Cameron, the infamous sim scammer and audience frontrunning dumper of warriortrading. Hired actor "testimonials" like "Crystal". Stuffed reviews on amazon. But not here, https://www.tradingschools.org/reviews/warrior-trading/

    John Carter :Mastering the Trade, Second Edition:

    I think he's full of it. It's possible Carter may have been profitable at some time in the past, but it's all the same as these traducators may mention past winning periods and any current wins , often sim touted as "live", are just props while offsetting or swept over losses for net negative...

    who can be the best Mentor

    So true. Scammers like the Warrior trading guys are just typical. They do a bunch of tricks to fool their audience into believing or at the least hoping they are actually trading for real. Of course not. They're making far more money from subs and fees perhaps several hundred thousand per year...

    Best book on trading I've ever read: Lance Beggs YTC Price Action Trader

    Geez, it's been five years since I posted about YTC & Beggs on this thread. Nothing has changed except the scam keeps going to fill out the decade. The "course"s real edge (for Beggs) is actually the neat and tidy looking chart illustrations with the nice red and green arrows on a clear white...

    Future trader 71s new trading venture Convergence

    I remember an old Ft71 webinar on bigmike's where he would mention he had a bunch of "busted" keyboards. I never really bought into the fan club. Sounded to me more like sales pushing for commissions and R-trader(market delta generic) , and now he seems to be branching out on his own from S5...

    Need life and job advice - breaking in to financial services/ trading

    I saw your old thread too. (https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/quit-corporate-job-to-become-options-trader-full-time-need-professional-advice.292716/ ) Here's my opinion. It seems like you had a setback on trying to be an independent options traders a few years back after quitting that job...

    There's also airplane maintenance tech or pilot. Some community colleges have those programs besides the usual hvac or automech.

    My Story Trading as teenager, lost $50000 daytrading futures

    You learned the hard way, but you have a good plan to work on your edge while managing future losses. Exactly, the first question is about losing less and keeping losses small and what losses can be afforded rather than thinking how much can I win.

    My Story Trading as teenager, lost $50000 daytrading futures

    Exactly. Losing that much in one day, or like the OP in a few days means overleveraging and likely averaging down into margin call, the biggest reason why new trading accounts blow up but this truth is hardly talked about or reported. It's possible the OP can get more money to trade. But...

    My Story Trading as teenager, lost $50000 daytrading futures

    OP is a troll. Or in case he isn't. Then OP face it. You're DONE. You probably averaged down big or overleveraged subsequent trades trying to win it back but lost multiples more.Get an education and a job and come back in 10 years or so to try again. Really, they shouldn't let anyone trade...

    Schadenfreude Warning: "Karen the Supertrader"

    I pretty much agree highly leveraged spreads and being delta-neutral can be risky as one is essentially trying to find a period of consolidation. That said, high delta options can be used to day trade stocks as short term leverage. I remember Tasty's first interviews of Karen. Some things were...

    Looking for a Mentor

    This got me laughing. Yes true that Al Brooks watches the market bar by bar the whole session every day without fail like going to daily mass and devotionals. It's a sad fact of internet society that 99% of trading vendors are scambags and tradingschools has only just uncovered the tip of the...
