Spread Trade Training

You don't follow your own advice, and you don't honor your personal agreement with Baron to not be such a flaming dick.

I am going to limit my posts to my own personal threads -- or specific content solely related to optionality and trading. No tangents; no bickering with degens.
A lot of personal and professional stress and posting here isn't a healthy outlet, but I am committed to completing this journal. Ridding this site of dubious types isn't going to happen (again), so it's a destroyer of productivity. I get 22.5 hrs of sleep during the trading week and that's got to change.
Thanks for reading.

You're a scammer, period. You dug your own grave by parading that Advantage run. wtf do you have to do with some "curve-advisor" anyway?

Describe the scam. The Advantage Statement is 100 % factual and so is the website verbage describing it. And you, convexx, are awfully brave with a keyboard. Have anything better to do with your time ?

Would you like me to answer? You seem conflicted.

You highlight (red box) the $486K as though it is profits. It's not. It's a debit. You then stated it was "swept" when it was not. Apparently you've not been reading this thread.

It's commonly-referred to as being "pot-committed" as in you've just blown $7,500 and you're sitting there with nothing to show for it but your thumb up your ass.

Haha, crack-spread consultant, hookers and blow! On second though, let's forget the spreads altogether!"

Ya sure, that's me.

You're more than a little creepy. But then you already know that.

You f*cked my ace in the hole.

You say potato... I say potahtoe... let's call the whole thing off!

Then he disavows the thing to state that it's an "omnibus" account. Om nom nom... bussssss. Many sub-accounts. Not mine. Zeroed every year. Debits!

I love it when people say "no offense"...But you suck. Results? You want my paper trade results?. When I say "you gotta want it" means that to maintain an adequate portfolio of spreads takes a bit of work and interpretation and of course some contribution to the group. "Retail Punter"? = Yes ALWAYS in a new market. Yes, paper trading for 6 months, why? Because I can afford it. Can you?

I really meant no offense to you. Let us be frank, 99 percent of ET members are punters including me. There is nothing wrong with a punter taking his shot. However, I take issue with a vendor duping inexperienced (spread)traders. Considering the facts, bone's service doesn't seem to be the quickest way out of punterville.
Rockmachine, if you are able to achieve consistent profitability, post your success in the p/l thread. I'd happily join bone's group and purchase his consulting service. Hell, half of ET would sign up as well! Based on the facts, I think it is unlikely...
There are so many strange discrepancies in this story and a lot of evasive statements coming from the vendor. The revisionist website editing doesn't lend to bone's credibility either.

Good luck Rockmachine.

RR, I could care less of people sign up for Bone's service. His website is as ugly as Schwartz's kid. Just Kidding Bone,...u2 schwartz, and leave my thumb outta this schwartz. Anyway, I never met Bone, but he really has given me spread experience that would take years to replicate on my own. $7500 is not a lot of dough, and if it is you should stop trading and get into Trade show Management?
