On second thought, maybe I will do mountain biking instead.
Brooks biggest mistake as a teacher
- Thread starter padutrader
- Start date
From my point of view, it is about opportunity, and what CAN happen if you learn
how to do this (trade). If $400 or $500 bucks is too much, it tells me that you are
so risk averse that you won't be able to actually trade real money anyway. It will
be too stressful for you. Go back to whatever day job you work and forget about this.

It's NOT about the $400 or $500, it's about getting ripped off by someone without a third-party audited track record (a conman). The amount of garbage out there is astronomical, including the old man in the above photo!!!
I was lucky enough to start as a full-time professional trader on an actual trading desk in NYC, in 1998, straight out of college (Lightspeed Platform, own Bloomberg Terminal, base salary & health insurance, and beautiful Buying Power). All Ivy League grads, and I could see what worked by simply looking at their REAL PnL on their computer screens. And those days are long gone.
So again, pretty please with sugar on top:
THIRD PARTY AUDITED TRACK RECORD, OR RUN AWAY!
And if you are lucky enough to find someone like that, who is also willing to teach, because as @SimpleMeLike and @Clubber Lang have eloquently stated, no trader worth his salt would be willing to share proprietary information at all, be prepared to shell out $30K-$50K+, and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), the size of the Yellow Pages. Welcome to Reality!!!
PS. I am a BASE Jumper, so that should cover the "risk" part...

You pique my interest:
Also, you started out day trading but when you came out trading your own funds, you moved away, why?
Thank you.
So, what worked?

What worked during that era no longer works, like Level 2, with ACTUAL BANKS listed on the Bid/Ask rows. You were like playing poker, but seeing the others hands.
It was great (you could trade off CNBC, FFS). Once I had amassed enough capital, and after 5 years on the desk, I realized that the phase "learning from others" had passed, all future "learning" would be deeply personal. Also, high speed internet made it possible to trade from home. This was around 2003, so it was perfect timing, as I had done my 5 year "tour of duty".
High Speed Internet at home!
Your comments are rambling, unfocused and bizarre
Intelligent risk management is a critical element for success in financial markets
In contrast, base jumping is just stupidity
Fortunately once your chute fails, we won't have to listen to you complain.
Dr. Brooks doesn't offer a single testable strategy. An adult, reading his work
or watching the videos or even watching his interviews on YouTube, could
develop a testable strategy. No NDA required then.
You are just hopeless and bitter. Ideal Candidate in a sea of charlatans...
Just noticed that @Robert Morse put you in your "place". Hilarious...

Figure it out Princess
If my trade fails, I move on the next one
If your chute fails, the police scrap your dumb ass
off the ground, and we don't have to hear you complain anymore
Sooner or later one of my trades IS going to fail
and sooner of later your chute WILL fail. Which of us will survive?
Bitter? I am laughing
So, traders and aspiring traders, THIS is the level of intelligence
I am finding on the website. I think its time to move on
Good luck
I stopped BASE Jumping in 2014, started in 2003. So I will be around for a while!
So, surviving just fine. Your hopelessness & bitterness are palpable!
One pathetic little life...
PS. Please DO move on, and do us all a favor.
