Quote from jsp326:
What about the first two questions? You'll probably duck them again, but there they go:
1) Why haven't you entered any more trading contests after getting humiliated back in 2002?
Most of the time, my interest was trading using POA's of professional people.
I magine you are a professional and you want to help the less fortunate, BUT you cannot afford a day a week to do that. I connected to a limit of fifteen such people. I used their POA's given to me to trade their accounts. their wre two consequences: they helped others one day a week and they built their retirement capital.
Think of it as fifteen concurrent trading contests where they had proven to themsleves that they could contribute time to help others.
WOM is how this happened for these people.
My best stock trading day of 17 points net on 100,000 shares was spread over 11 of these type accounts. Maybe you can imagine this as winning the lottery that day.
2) Why not post your live signals. Brag all you want about how incredible your method is...no serious trader will care a bit until they see some evidence.
My live signals are monitored by various people. They coattail trade me and others (regulators (SEC, inparticular)) see me trading multiple large accounts and frontrunniing the market. They convince themselves I am doing something illegal. They issue citations. At that point, my broker's lawyers have to straighten them out. So they get straighterned out and the citations are removed.
Thus what you wanted to happen as you sit on your ass, has happened and the people involved have been straightened out on their mistakes.
As a matter of fact we traded live for over a year in a thread and you were here and you missed out. check the date you joined and check the dates for that year and see that they overlap.
As for the rest of your spiel, I could read stream-of-consciousness self-help stuff in all sorts of other books, blogs, etc. That's not what I asked for.
Reading is a fool's game as has been pointed out to you. You do not "get it" that passive types of wasting time do not work. Things you read may make money for others and NOT you, however.
You are valuable member of ET; you show how failure works.
What I show is that there are many ways to make money. I also show the most valuable paradigm as yet published. People who feel empowered to judge and make the mistaken judgements also prove how the financial industry is screwed up. Now, we have a long term Depression to show for it and we have a non regulated industry that lacks integrity.
I and others who have done the WORK to fully differentiated their minds are parasites of the on going fiasco (see page 199 of Larry Harris). We continue, with immunity nowadays to frontrun the big boys and they push us in taking our profit segments.
You crossed the line in the sand and can no longer reason through how markets work and how to trade them. You built an erroneous belief system which is not differeniated. The consequence is that you and your kind are denied the knowledge and skills of trading the markets.
No one cares, it turns out. 90% of potential traders turn out as you did. Too bad for you and your kind. Get some popcorn and keep reading along side your buddies and the SEC
