Why, you ask,
perhaps because, regrettably, PT Barnum's true-isms really are true. Perhaps, traders are so used to the broken shops that they are seeking to leave, that they can't recognize the "Real Thing" whence they run across it.
These guys, for all their faults are shoulders above the sh.....tttt that I ran across at Onsite / ABWatley and have heard about from other shops.
We just had a trader come through here in the last few months, and he simply couldn't change from his Worldco paradigm for nothing. Nothing against Worldco, but, sometimes taking off the cuffs and providing a trader freedom to trust his own instincts and the opportunity to actually fail, is just too much freedom.
There's another true-ism, where by abused kids have a hard time seperating from their abusive parent, when given a choice. Hence, the essential managerial objective of being abusive to new traders, which creates an impression, and subtlely causes that trader to seek the approval of their office.
Mind games, yeah!
Trading games, yeah!
Profitable games, NO, as long as you generate commissions, then you're the favorite son!
Wake Up!
That's what Bright does, and some just don't want to....
