I'm still amazed people still fall for these scams and shady firms and don't just trade with a real, SEC prop firm. But like the saying goes, "a fool and his money....."

FYI...This book has been updated with 3 new interviews. Still a great book that I have read and reread 4 times as I always learn something new each time I read it. Highly recommended:

Exactly! And that was the message from many traders in the book.

Right. But that's what I really liked about this book. It supplied practical advice to the typical day trader that you won't find anywhere else. Other trading books talk about TA and set ups, but his book gives info that you can really use to improve your day trading.

Why is there NO address or phone number on the Takion website??? How do you get support?!?!?! Am I just looking in the wrong place?

Why don't you simply call them and ask?

Maybe not so much an "edge" but a skill. A skill in the sense that everyone knows they are supposed to do something but human emotions prevent some people from following them (cutting loses for example). Definition of skill: the ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude...

I actually STARTED a thread yesterday to inform everyone on elitetrader that there was a new book out that can help traders beat HFT. This is actual info that the typical trader here on elitetrader can find useful. Not about trading energy derivatives ...

Add value??? Ha. In your 19,000 posts (which I think is the most for anyone on elitetrader) all you do is insult every trader and tell all of us we are losers for trading stocks and futures. That none of us will ever make money. According to you we should all be trading exotic energy...

Well, I guess it's good that we have you and your 19,000+ posts to enlighten us.

He does interview "atticus" of elitetrader.

I didn't think you would find anything so I did it for you. In this thread you are quoted: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=276377&highlight=austin&page=9 " And for the record, TST is not claiming to "teach" anyone how to trade. They are supplying the field. You are the one...

Can you post a link here to the old thread/post where you talk about this not being about getting backed and solely about the training. Maybe quote the exact passage as well.

Mav, You have been the biggest TST cheerleader since day one. It was to the point that you had to defend yourself that you were not associated with them. We don't need to rehash that, but for you to claim that it was always about the training is insulting. It seems like for one reason...

Most are either retail or trading at prop firms. I know that one trader trades at Bright Trading (Dennis Dick) and Jeff Goldman from JC Trading Group is featured as well.

There is a new book out about how current day traders are beating HFT. It is titled “Traders of the New Era: Interviews with a Select Group of Day and Swing Traders Who are Still Beating the Markets in the Era of High Frequency Trading and Flash Crashes”...

Maverick, It's funny how your tone has changed and now you are saying this is mostly for training and to learn discipline. You also said in a very recent post that you have claimed that all along....that it was never about being backed. But I just went through a lot of your old posts on TST...

You are 100% correct. That is the consensus here on ET. The fact that the scam/not scam argument persists is because there is one person on this board that appears to be associated with them and spends countless posts defending them.

Bottom line....where there's smoke there's fire. Funny how this went from a firm that would back you to all of a sudden just a training tool.

Wow...you really don't get it at all.
