Inspiring video for traders!

I think that the main truth in this video is that alot of ET members have not seen a Trading Technologies X-Trader screen with four CME Globex Forex market order ticket ladders side-by-side. And some pretty CQG charts. Very common sight here in the Chicago prop universe.
 
Is it a broker or a forum? I didn't go to the site.

The Asian chick in the vid was hot.

That vid was cool but also seemed like it was somehow designed to encourage people to lose more money in the markets. lol.
 
Quote from austinp:

of course they are selling something... why else do you think it is a "blind signup and you get the details later" offer?

nice hype video about emotional fluff, unsells what it is not, leaves your excited imagination to fill in the blanks about what it is

wonderful marketing ploy... now what exactly do you get in return for giving them your contact information?

This.

Especially the middle paragraph.

Quote from austinp:

All those egos would never co-exist happily in one room

The whole marketing concept here is very professional: create a slick, high impact video theme of "us against the world", we're traders, we won't be dissed, we'll be seen and heard, you'll respect us, etc

Promote the idea of legitimizing the stigma of "day trader" and leave the content or even actual intent purposely vague. That allows the imagination to ass-u-me it is whatever each person desires it to be.

Heck, there are people here defending the service when they have no idea what the actual service is / will be. Proof positive how effective the marketing ploy is.

Someone spent a lot of time and money to get attention and contact info from a lot of traders. Maybe there is no money involved on their end... just the kindness of their hearts to donate time and resources for the betterment of random strangers in this profession.

Maybe

You nailed it.
 
You guys sure like to dissect every little thing sometimes.

:D

Video is cool. I dl'd it and may watch it from time to time. If I get ambitious, can cut out their end sponsor part.

If anyone from that site is reading this, they gotta be laughing - mission accomplished. Well done to whoever made that video, people are talking about your site and it's working.

Wonder if other vendors on here are... maybe... a bit jealous?

:eek:

jealous of what? what exactly are we talking about?

what is the promotion?

what is the service provided, intended or even proposed?

what is in it for you, the trader?

fwiw I have no dog in this (or any other) hunt because it has zero to do with any aspect of my life. If anything, I am amused at how utterly predictable human behavior will always be, and impressed at yet another cutting edge marketing effort that takes advantage of such weakness.

while I admire the effort in mildly amused fashion, I still wonder why they don't simply state what they intend to offer as a service = benefit and at what terms to the client in plain, straightforward fashion.

what's so hard about that?

At pikers getting enthralled over thirteen-year old technology they've never seen before? That's how long TT X-Trader has been around. CQG charts and X-Trader DOM's showing Globex currency futures market ladders is nothing new, nor are chicks and guys with trading books.

Want new, without the silly mysterious misleading "buzz" marketing?

Harris bought TickIt for a very good reason. And Harris is a very good spread trader:

Guys, I just looked at his e-mini blog, all he's doing is scalping a one-minute Market Profile study.

Forget the silly viral video nonsense, just add the Market Profile study package to your charting platform. Read up on MP Value Areas. Download all the old Market Profile Seminars off the old CBOT educational materials section.

Done.

Well, didn't take long for the 2 vendors to comment.

LOL.

Lightning fast reaction times there fellas, well done.

I'm done taking money from the market today... and was busy cleaning up my email box.

thank you for the reminder to "unsubscribe" to this thread... I procrastinated too long in that act :cool:
