=========================
Was thinking the same thing;
fine, on them joining in trade.
An exception to that rule could be a very profitable trader who has a pattern of scales in massively over a period of time.
Many firms forbid it, some have fired over this
Even in that worst case scenerio;
profits peak would be reached faster perhaps. Fine
I never said it has a negative effect, but it is unethical imho. In theory it seems it would help your position if they did it.
You like it ? I am still trying to figure out what he is saying.
I disagree, if you have a high winning % of trades, it does not matter if you are trading 1 car or 1000, as long as they follow your moves in the ES they can make money off of you.

I assume he is the same Williams of the Williams % indicator, who generates so much hatred in my thread under the Technical
analysis section.
Just looked him up what else he wrote, How I made 1 mill trading futures. One reviewer writes:
"his meteoric rise and claim to fame when he singlehandedly turned $10,000 into $1 million in a controlled tournament environment."
So I guess his indicator is good for somethin'......
