Quote from Spydertrader:
No where in this thread does your example exist.
It exists a number of times per day. If I were to point it out to you, then you'd say I wasn't looking at it right. And I can't look at it right without guessing or guidance. Funny, I think others see my posts earlier today and yesterday as being constructive and seeking progress. You come in and create animosity.
Your previous reply to me suggests my last post was put up to grind some kind of axe. I donât know what I can do to change how you feel about that. It does sort of demonstrate how poor language is as a device for accurate communication.
For those of you who are not interested in this info, I invite you to put me on ignore. For those who do not wish to be blind to all the facts, read on.
My understanding was that the intent of the journal was to pass on the full skill set of SCT trading, from soup to nuts. Nothing left hidden.
I reviewed the journal, thoroughly, since the end of August, when I started posting some things that some others took as negative. Upon completing that review, I found that I had not been using inappropriate language, I had not attacked or acted childishly, or did anything remotely out of line. Privately, I received a number of pmâs encouraging me to continue asking the hard questions I have been. Some even were expressing their confusion over Spyderâs sudden defensive posture.
Now, I have done my best to move on, continue to learn, share, and ask more questions. Spyder responds in a way that I (and others) take as posturing again. Now, even to the point of suggesting I leave. This after he recently said my presence has been helpful.
Now, consider the following items which to me are fact, but not all easily provable to you.
1) Jack has on several occaisions announced that he would be doing live trading at various trading expoâs. Hmmm? How come thatâs necessary if Spyder is saying that it doesnât help? Also, Jack has cancelled on every one of the dates he proposed doing.
2) Jack made an offer directly to me personally, that I could come back to Tucson any time for help. I have requested this help, and he hasnât even had the courtesy to acknowledge me. Keep in mind, that as recently as last week he replied to a pm of mine within hours.
3) Spyder and Makosgu, the only people here remotely doing anything like SCT succesfully have both had the opportunity to sit next to Jack; on more than one occaision. Donât you think itâs kind of odd that the very people who visited Jack to learn SCT are telling me (and you) that isnât necessary?
4) I was invited to attend a small group in September by another Tucson group member, where Spyder was to be present. No only did this meeting not occur, this person has not responded to my PMâs in over a month, left me hanging when the last time we spoke he said heâd keep me posted. Even telling me I was no longer welcome would have been the polite thing to do.
5) Another Tucson member whom I questioned, knowing he also had private time with Jack, has not responded to me in over a week.
6) I have documented at least two situations (in this thread) where Spyder has made statements that are diametrically opposed. I have not posted others I have come across.
You might ask why I continue to post here. Because I am learning, from many of you. Likewise, I continue to receive pmâs stating the converse. In spite of the above items, I wish to believe that something can be gleaned here. In just the last few days Iâve had some MAJOR aha moments, due in part almost totally to recent conversation on my part in this thread. The big head scratcher is why the questions I ask are met by Spyder with an almost bilious reply. He doesnât treat Hypo this poorly. It sure makes it look (on the surface anyway) that Iâm hitting some kind of nerve. If I am, itâs not by intent, itâs merely a byproduct of looking for progress.
