How do famous swing traders like Dan Zanger size up so fast?

[taowave]

Its honestly not that hard..

read as much as you can,backtest as much as you read

what else can you do??

Very admirable of you to want to protect us amateur retails not to take baits from get rich quick scammers.

Unfortunately there are so many presenters out there and some are actually legitimate so who can I trust?

That's why I have never hated on Minervini like so many have. I mean if you can make 1mm per year from trading and another 1mm from selling books,courses,etc why not? Last I checked making 2mm a year is better than making 1 mm per year.LOL

100%

Both Zanger and Kullamägi are among the skilled rather than lucky, though Zanger has said that he was lucky to have been ready when the internet bubble commenced.

Zanger's $10K to $18 MM was audited. I don't think I've seen any audited results here on ET from anyone.

Audited how? like a posting of it? If it is, I wouldn't consider that audited.

Unless he uses a reputable audit firm, in that case, which firm?

BTW Kullamagi is not just a one-trick pony. He was also VERY skilled at shorting stocks that had made parabolic moves. I watched him make 5.4mm shorting the backside of $INDO when it went parabolic in the spring of 2022. God only knows how much he made during the GME/AMC fiasco!

Honestly, people here at ET are some the LAZIEST fucks I've ever encountered. No offense @hilmy83.

It took me about 15 seconds to find a link to the audited report on the "About" page of Dan Zangers site chartpattern.com...

It took about 5 minutes to research the auditing firm, which was taken over in various mergers. The last known parent based on my 5 minute research was Informa Group out of London.

It took longer to make this post than to do the legwork!

If I don't know who the turkey is, the turkey is me!

He was audited by a 3rd party public accounting firm hired by Fortune Magazine as part of their due diligence before publishing an article about his extraordinary trading profits during the dot com bubble.

Do you think Zadeh does the same due diligence on people who participates in the US investing competition?
