Brooks biggest mistake as a teacher

You have a tendency to say how much time you spent on something: "20 years on this, 30 years on that.."
You value seniority rather than results.

You would make an excellent union rep in the US.

Hello hilmy83,

Correct, @padutrader is from India and their culture have a big respect and honor for their elders and teachers.

This is why he struggles in Manual Trader because he thinks research and hard work brings money in Manual Trader.

He is not understanding and will not believe that he is just a Gambler, just like me trying to make money in the markets. He is trying to be a Guru, I just wanna make money

There is secret who I am, I am Gambling Trader, Hope, Dreamer, Guessing, whatever you wanna call me.

I guess all day trying to make money. I have NO edge, I do not want no edge. I just want to guess all day and trade my PnL until I see it green.

@padutrader be a guesser and gambler like me in the ES futures market man. There i nothing else to learn my friend. I study Brooks as well for about 4 months, but i stopped because its too much information. Al Brooks knows too much for me.

i have been trading Brooks for 15 years and lost money.

i just could not 'see ' his signals on 5 min.

once i started doing what he said not to do -which is trading 1 min charts-everything went right. i has a EUREKA moment and everything Brooks said made sense.

He said 1M will whipsaw you...... bull shit..... apologies for the picturesque language.

JUST TRADE 5 MIN .......

Hello padutrader,

I also study Brooks as well for about 4 months a few years ago. Yes, he is good on what he says, it makes some sense. But you remember what Brooks says, he says just do the best you can man. You do not need to be master. Below is the master of ES, myself.

Why I am the master ES guy, well look at my March results so far. All winnings days man.

You have to just make money man, please stop learning more stuff. Forget that channel crap.

Just open chart and guess and gamble or whatever and trying to make money man. That is all you have to do.

And please believe me when I say, I AM NOT READING NOOO DAMN BOOKS bro. NONE, zip. None of that stuff man. 1 hour a day and go play video games and mess around build algos and back test and have fun.

You are working WAYYYY too hard in the gambling markets. We are gamblers, get over it.

I guess my ass off everyday and it works. Forget all that fancy trading words crap. Channels and stuff. Just guess man.

Hello doubledoubledoublecup,

What does strategy mean? I just make money man. I do not know all that other crap.

Yes, it easy. Why should be hard. If you work hard, then its hard. Stop working hard, then its easy.

I am trying to help my buddy @padutrader. He and I use to talk. Now he need to make the money.

Hi, SimpleMeLike

I don’t believe in no strategy/system or not doing homework and make money in trading consistently. You will have to take your trade base on something. Michael Jordan would say he has no strategy in playing basketball, but he looks at where the defenders stand and make decision on whether to shoot, pass, or drive. also did his homework by watching film of his opponent before games.

If you say you don’t have one and able to make money every year, either you are so good your system embedded into your DNA, or you simply doesn’t want to tell which I can also understand.

And you told me, last time you were actively posting, that I shouldn't use 1 min chart, should switch to 5 min instead! :mad:

Hello doubledoubledoublecup,

That is correct. I do not have a "strategy" or whatever that crap means.

My "strategy" is simple, at the end of the month have money in my account!!!

I have no clue what Michael Jordan did to be good basketball player. And do not care.

There is nothing to tell or no secret. I have shared everything. What the heck does secret means. LOL. The secret is to make money. That is the secret.

If there is a secret, my black ass will never be told about it. So I am not sitting around searching for no damn secret, unless some algo back testing, but even that gets its too much work at times. Easier to guess.

I really really really get confused by some ET members. The ES futures market is open 23 hours a day, it exist to extract money from it into your pocket. What more is there is to say?

Make money in the ES or NQ futures market. That is it. Do whatever you want to do to make this money as long as the money is in the account every month.

I read no books, no homework, no journal, no nothing! No studying. No nothing. All I need is the ES data, my mouse, computer and fingers and eyes. Anything else is a waste of time.
 
SML I'm glad you're having fun "guessing". I find full-on discretionary trading mentally exhausting. That's probably why so many guys are trying to find an automated system that works.
