Quote from Thunderdog:
A poor choice of words on my part. My apologies. While the pupil is not expected to pay for your guidance, he is expected to spend a fair amount of time just to find out whether or not he is wasting his time. Your obvious generosity notwithstanding, is it so unfair to ask for a reasonable amount of verification before committing to the time and effort? As I said elsewhere, you do not owe anyone anything. But if you are so bent on "paying it forward," then why not make it easier for interested people to commit? Why hold back such a vital piece of information that would otherwise complete a perfect picture?
As I posted in another thread, the proof exists. Nobody has withheld anything. I simply have no desire to revisit the same discussion again, and again, and again - each time a different individual requests proof. If proof is what one needs, one simply has to go and find it (as I pointed out in the linked post). It isn't 'hidden away' under lock and key. It isn't difficult to find. In fact, traders post their wins and their losses, so it isn't as if anybody has chosen to present the most optimistic outlook.
Unfortunately, the 'no proof exists' mantra has been repeated so many times, by so many people, it has taken on a life of its own. Thus, proving the old saw, 'Repeat something loud enough, and often enough, and intelligent people begin to think its true.'
Good trading to you.
