Interviews With Legendary NQ Traders

[Arthur Deco]

Well, it has taken me four long days to recover from that interview with Rahula. Not exactly what I expected. But hope springs eternal. After much cajoling, I have induce John Merchant to take the Proust trading questionnaire. He said, "What the fuck? Nobody is reading it anyway!"

So John, to commence: What quality do you most value in your trading friends?

 

[John Merchant]

Keeping their opinions to themselves.

 

[Arthur Deco]

That I can understand. Continuing: What is your principal trading defect?

 

[John Merchant]

I waste way too much fucking time trying over and over again to prove that SCT works. I figure it must be me, not the system. Very frustrating.

 

[Arthur Deco]

Umhumm. And: What natural trading gift would you most like to possess?

 

[John Merchant]

The ability to deconflict my systems when they give contrary signals. If I had that skill, I could get rich by teaching it to the Jackers and quit beating my head against the wall trading. Gotta go. One of my bandages slipped. Later. Maybe. Asshole! What do you think? I'm going to tell you how I TRADE? Save your breath and go read Shabacker.
