Introduction and backround. I think I have a good backround to have success

What the hell is going on here. I am trying to post live results, and people do not believe me? People chastise me for doing it? Someone better calm me the hell down, or that journal is going to go away, and you'll have to look at ALL THE OTHER LIVE JOURNALS in the journal forum. YEAH, lots of LIVE results going on in that journal forum.
 
Interesting community here...odd but interesting.

In about an hour it is going to get a lot less interesting, when I take away my live journal. This community just doesn't get it. Nobody here really seems to care. Everyone here talks the talk, but does not walk the walk.
 
Peace out, pal. You are doing God's work after all :sneaky:

All I said was that one of your posts came across a bit as if you were in dire need of money and as if everything in life has to be money focused. I reject such thoughts. If I misunderstood then just ignore.

I read the post, I am still confused. But I am going to stick my sword in the sand and claim to you, and anyone else, that if you do not like the LIVE FUCKING results in that link, and the HONESTY of it, then everyone can bugger off, mates! That is a very important point here.

Zzzz, I am not twisting anyone's nuts here. It's REAL shit. It is NOT fake. I am trying to convey that I find anyone who claims X, Y, Z as being a money maker without the PROOF of it is just a load of crap. Is what I am doing THAT BAD that I should simply stop, and let the community dissolve into it's own acidic juices of falsity?

Zzz1, I am trying to HELP the community here! Dude, I am on your side! Why are you attacking me?!?
 
Mate, do what you gotta do but don't ask others to hold your hands.

I have been reading these forums for about a week now. I wanted to introduce myself and let people know my backround. I was a financial advisor dealing with retail clients for about 5 years. In that process I watched a documentary on card counting in blackjack.

I thought you had to be a super smart guy to do it and no normal human can do it. These people in the video did not look super smart. I got my hands on everything I can read, Like 10 books and went through ever professional blackjack forum out there and basically read every post. I sat home and practiced everyday on the kitchen table for about 2 hours a day for around 8 months so I can get the skill it took and find out how the swings look even with a small edge. I looked 500 hours and then took a home equlity line of credit out of my house to start it (it was ballsy but I wanted to win bad). I started with 25k in cash and 50k loan paid off the loan and won about 1.7 million in 4.5 years. I got barred from every big casino that takes major bets in the united states. And I am radio active in OSN and Biometrica which is the casino national database on advantage players and cheats.

I have about 1.2 million left after taxes and buying some shit. I know it is retarted to just deposit that in a trading account and start. I want to do what I did with blackjack to learn trading. Read everything I can and I felt the passion burn in my belly. I am starting to feel that again with trading. I wont accept failure as an option cause there is no way im going back to working for a boss. I know I need to find an edge and then make Kelly bets accordingly. Im reading threw all the stuff and will read every thread on this forum as I am in fulltime study mode. Can anyone pointment in the direction of different stratigies out there. Right now I only know about Pair trading cause I read on a blackjack forum that don bright went on the blackjack forum years ago and he was a card counter who found an edge in the markets. Any feedback pointing me in the right way would be helpful, but im not looking to be spoonfed. Im excited to be here.


I apologize for the initial hostility from the board. Very important for a trader: Be thick skinned.

I think your champion blackjack skills should prove useful. You have the smarts to produce a method with an edge and discipline to follow it.

I like your skillset: "big picture" advisory work and down to the brass tacks card counting. You better know Edward Thorpe's history and methods like the back of your hand. Otherwise, the guys will label you as a fake.

For that matter, I am looking for some Bridge Players around Chicago who also trade. Welcome to ET.
 
Thanks for the help . I can play international but in the states I'm toast. As fun as it may sound it blows to travel with a lot of cash and stay in a hotel for 2 weeks till u get thrown out.

Thank you for ed Thorpe stuff. I know he created bj counting and then went on to create a count that beats a baccarat side bet and the casino pulled the bet. Prob makes sense to read a lot of stuff from him, Blair hull, and don bright . I'll sift threw the bullshit. I'm used to forums. U have to sift threw the dirt to find the gold.

Too late. I requested my journal thread to be deleted. In NO POST of mine did I ever come across as being in dire need of money. Please, signor, point it out. No hold that thought, it is irrelevant.
 
You are either incredibly naive or else incredibly forgiving of BS.
