You remind me of me about a year ago, and many others that took the course around the same time. I was complete noob back then thinking that I was really going to learn something useful. That I was going learn how to trade for a living. I was all gung-ho including all that affirmation stuff.
Blue you should be ashamed. The common denominator for a lot of us and the reason why so many people found good friends is that you pandered to the goodness in people by mixing compassion, passion and spiritualism into the mix of the market. You have been meditating for how long? You're part of the enlightened? G_D help us all!
Trader 100, keep dreaming that dream for a while longer, but know that you have been warned. If you're into the mindset aspect of this whole thing then you must also know about awareness and balance. So be aware of the other side it's not all about dreams and gratitude.
You are and we were caught in the web of deceit, you cannot see the truth for what it is or refuse to. But do yourself a favor, if you have any backtesting skills run some of his so called 80% rules through the testing mill see if it pans out. In fact, take the easiest one, the relationship of the open to H/L, you know what that is. See if it pans out. I ran tests on some of his components and guess what the results were. Surprise, surprise.
You don't need to believe the members who are trying to warn you and the others. If you're already there, before you really get into trouble, run the tests. You might truly learn the first rule of trading, cut your losses short. Albeit a rather big hit, both emotionally and financially for some.
Oh yeah, but then there's context. Of course the backtests don't work, there's no context. The ever elusive context. That one little concept that explains away all the blemishes of the phenomenal method. The ultimate backdoor out for blue. It's all a shell game. Blue's playing a game of 3 card monty with a 7G minimum. Don't you realize the reason why his method is so complicated and involved? It's not for your benefit but for his. He even tells you that it's meant to cover every variation of the market. Yes it does but only so that he can point to one rule or another, one number or another and claim victory - AFTER THE FACT. You know, that's like betting on every horse in every race at a race track and claiming that you have a fool-proof betting method and pulling out a winning ticket to prove it.
I'm sorry, I really wasn't going to join this fracus but I just happened to catch blue wondering out loud last week that he might demand to see broker's statements to allow people into one of his rooms, that rubbed me so wrong. It's disgusting blue. You make all kinds of excuses and refuse to show your statements but you demand the members show theirs as proof that they can trade? Your hypocrisy is only exceeded by your empty promises and lies.
The audacity!
Lastly blue, you want this to stop? Yogi has it spot on. 3 half phrases a day 2 seconds each. No, rants, no long winded preaches, all it takes is 6 seconds of your time to demonstrate your wonderful skills you claim to have as a trader. It should be a piece of cake for one of the greatest traders in existence. What a great way to satisfy that Mt Rushmore size ego of yours.
No, I don't want to see your statements, statements can be altered and fudged. At this point, given your reputation. Well, you fill in the blanks.
"Short 1538 stop 15XX."
"Go long 1525 stop 15XX"
"Long 1550 stop 15XX"
There, it took me only 15 seconds and I'm typing. No phone calls to lawyers, not an extra penny spent. No stress, no fuss. You can do this in your sleep, IF, you are as you claim. Then we can all go back to thinking that it's our inadequacies and lack of gratitude or whatever that keeps us from learning the method and to trade.
Just 3 times a day. 3 half sentences that's all it takes. If you really care about your members and you want this to stop.
That is what you claim isn't it? Just 3-4 good trades a day picking tops and bottoms? Well show us that it can be done.
