Site is registered to Doug Allen. Really strange co-inky-dink, huh?
Twins???? Really???? Yes similarities in the bald, white, male, blue blazer genetic traits can be spotted miles away.
the best traders have huge egos.
its more like:
trading + edge = profit
trading - edge = loss
the psychobabble makes those without real edge feel better.

I've noted in the past that I quit school in 11th grade (went on to attend Budweiser U for the 10-yr program) and have certainly rode shottie in my share of turnip trucks along the way. But those errant life decisions doesn't mean I'm stone stupid.

Early posts from "sushi" are mostly quick-quip caustic retorts. They appear to be sprinkled with purposely typo errors. Those typos have distinct patterns of repetition. That would seem to indicate someone here for a long time under a different alias now using an alter-ego to amuse themselves. The brief wording and choppy grammar would mask written speech patterns from a primary alias.
Time will tell whatever there is to learn, it always does.
It now appears that "sushi" alias is becoming comfortable to the poster. "sushi" posts are longer, clearer, intelligible and articulate in a topic of great personal interest here. Sushi is obviously well studied in managed money and other specifics of our industry. Also see that english is the primary language... the repeated typo patterns are gone. Articulate, intelligent and learned are showing thru.
Consistency and congruence are rooted from the same word base for good reason. Knowing how to listen for patterns in life serves a trader well.

I personally have zero interest in any coaching = training offers, generous as that may be. I also assume that anyone serious about having their funds managed would not prejudice their decision for applicants based on anything other than pure trading acumen. Right or right?
The generous offer for training is a nice gesture, but I'm looking past all that to the core details of money managed. When we reach that point in the process, I'll have something more to say. Until then, the autoresponder email service of info delivered will work thru its own scheduled pace.

Hi Surf,
I think what's important to keep in mind is that there are all sorts of different traders. For sure, any traders with an edge will have a great chance to make money -that's why they call it an edge!
But I've seen traders with an edge totally blow up because of their egos. I trained a good friend and gave him the biggest edge I could give somebody, and he still couldn't keep from blowing up. He opened up a position that went very bad the next day, and instead of taking the loss he hung on because he didn't want to admit he was wrong. He turned a relatively small loss into a huge loss, wiping out most of his trading account because he was also leveraged.
And while I agree there's a huge amount of psychobabble out there, there's also a legitimate point about traders blowing up because they can't control their emotions. And I also know a lot of traders with huge egos, but they usually leave their egos at the door when they begin trading. They also are very eager to wear their egos out to the cigar bars as soon as the day is done! Nothing like making millions from sitting in front of computer to give a guy a big ego, right?

lol.... walk around nyc today and count how many bald white males you see.... I'm sure we're not all related.
Hey... wonder if there's some organization to defend the civil rights of bald white males? If not I'm sure I could find a lawyer in NY to start one...
