SpreadProfessor Clients - Thanks !

bone said:
Personally, I'm a nuclear engineer by training. But I cannot make the system a financial engineering exercise of the highest order. I'd have three clients over five years if that was the case. I've chosen by design to take some necessary skills like intermarket correlations and hedge ratio betas and have broken them down into simpler tools and methods that, say, a scalper could do for himself with a little training from me. Still, I have HF analysts, CTA's, and PhD's as clients. If they want to apply what I teach as a baseline gateway into MatLab or S-Plus I say more power to them. But I do very much warn these types of clients that I prefer "quick-and-dirty" versus an academic exercise. The bottom line is the bottom line, and clients have to be able to apply what you're offering them to live trades and they have to be successful at it. It has to translate to the broadest segment of the trader population. I want my clients to make money, because they are going to provide references and referrals for future clients.

I appreciate the points you're making here and I suppose part of my disappointment stems from the fact that the quick and dirty approach with broader appeal just doesn't mesh well with my style of trading. If you'd like some feedback from someone who checked out the service and passed when you're tackling the redesign of the website, feel free to hit me up on PM. I know it's a fine line between sharing enough to get people interested but not giving away any secret sauce.

I definitely will do this Winter. My sincere thanks to you for being constructive and positive - most appreciated.
 
Only guy that was humiliated was so called risk manager thinking that $486k removed was profit.

If you are able to achieve $486k with one spread, why are you peddling your services here for mere mortals. There are million spreads and probably be the first and easiest billionaire from ET.
 
Net became gross. One spread became three. His account became prop. Debit = profits. I could go on... but I gave people more credit than they deserve.

I agree this is often repeated as gospel, but personally I've not found spread trends to be any more or any less "smooth" than those of outright positions. Realistically there is no free-lunch because you would have to assume that hedge funds, etc would arb out any edge in trendiness.

Just like any outright, you will find periods where trends are smooth and others where they are choppy.

Just my $0.02

I have a simple request. How about Bone furnish proof that he has been able to produce a profit through his trading. Sorry, but is that asking too much?

This is perfectly reasonable.

I have no clue if bone is the real deal or not. He seems knowledgeable.

But you would have to be crazy not to ask for some proof that he's personally profitable before dropping $7.5k. And that proof would, IMO need to show a track record over time, up until today.

Showing one statement from 06 looks like cherry picking to me, but I haven't looked into it enough to know if he has shown other statements to back that up.

No, because bone says you will reverse-engineer the blotter and profit from his sekrits.
