Quote from Reaver:
...........If you have inherited a few hundred grand or just sold your business for a large sum of money and have absolutely nothing else to do, then hey go spend $400/mo on chat rooms to have someone teach you THEIR way (not YOUR way) to trade......
Quote from bluebolt:
There is no conflict, successful methods are kept secret for obvious reasons and unsuccessful ones are hawked for equally obvious reasons
Quote from ZAL:
Your statement can't be any further from the truth. Market Profile was purchased by the Chicago Board of Trade from Peter Steidlymayer to provide the global trading community a proven and successful methodology.
Peter Steidlymayer did just the opposite of what you state. He offered a 'secret' successful methodology to benefit many, many traders.
BTW......I clerked for Pete Steidymayer in the late '70's. I know first hand how successful he was. He is the most unselfish person I know. He'd like every small independent trader to succeed.
Some of you think that the sharing of ideas is hawkish. We think the sharing of ideas (for a fee) is a noble and just enterprise.
It is up to the marketplace to determine the value of our ideas.

Quote from Billybob543:
I was in the room for a few days until I simply couldn't take it anymore. I had to scream "uncle".
The moderator Charles Cochran simply refuses to call any real trades in real time. All his shit is "woulda coulda shoulda"...He's a woulda coulda shoulda TEACHER, just like all the others. I was expecting to at least see him demonstrate his system with his REAL money on the line. I would be willing to bet my ass that he can't trade the system profitably.

.....do any of you know of a successful follow the leader program?....
Quote from Billybob543:
And vice versa, all the unsuccesful traders and chatrooms that I know also refuse to demonstrate that they can, themselves, trade the shit their pushing.
Hell, trade on a simulator for all I care, but at least demonstrate that you can trade your own system.
Quote from ZAL:
Once again, there is no such thing as a successful 'system'. There are good methodologies and bad methodologies.
Communicating trade ideas, market concepts, execution methodologies and trade management is a far cry from "pushing' a system" as you so elequently state.
