Quote from limitdown:
seems to me that people would be willing to pay FNYS to learn, even if its their watered down trading style....
that's another avenue that they could persue, but choose not to, for whatever reason.
thank goodness there are millionaires like Michael Parness of Trend Trading to Win, and his television commercials and seminars ....
thank goodness there are firms like Bright Brothers, who take this avenue seriously enough to make it a regular advertised part of their business offerings...
Generic, Schoenfeld, Hold and the few other survivors would all learn a tremendous lesson from those two firms....
FNYS may interview dozens more than one would ever believe but the point is like the one Trump (Donald Trump of The Apprentice) makes, namely his narrow business model suits only those whom he finds worthy.
meanwhile life goes on and others make volumes on those not deemed worthy....
Shhh, don't tell anyone that by actually training people and providing capital to trade with, that we actually end up with traders making money.....which means they trade more...which means they stay longer...and, yes, BT can even make a buck or two. This is a closely held secret...don't tell.....LOL.
On a more serious note...Steve Schonfeld did a great job with his traders back in the 90's, and Mayer Offman (the Rabbi) did great mentoring some of the early Generic traders....then it seemed like none of the trading firms actually did much training after 2000.
There are "trainers" (a few "schools") - and there are "firms" - but there really aren't any firms that do much training any more (of course, PairCo does a tremendous job with their Bright traders).
Anyway, thanks for the kind words....and I will repeat " FNYS has a fine reputation" .....in keeping with the thread.
All the best,
Don (geez, can the market get any slower......)...
