The best traders in ET

Quote from nitro:

... But they made $100,000 a day [with monster days of $1M+] consistantly for many years. Not once did they discuss their methodology.
...

:eek:
Inspite of all the sales pitch that must have been put to them to 'clarify their strategy', to 'share' , to 'team up', etc... ?

These guys are generous to their friends, just not with random people on the internet. For all they know that money they would make you could go to funding Al-Queida. I learned one amazing thing from all of it. I am in the process of backtesting it, and it looks promising. It was starring me in the face all these years.

If they wanted it known to stroke their own ego, they would have made it known. Funny because instead they enjoyed their wealth by driving gorgeous cars, dating stunning women, owning amazing living spaces all over the world. I guess being stroked on ET didn't cut it. Just imagine.

In fact, they never even came close to letting it known because of all the groupies that would follow, and all the endless questions. Just look at this thread and all the millions of like it in the past. It is non of my business really. But it shows what top traders make and it makes this thread complete, so that people can see what [was] possible.

They are both famous in Chicago. If you really care, just do a search in Chicago Crains. It won't tell you who they were on ET though, but there is nothing to see there anyway.

I know one thing these guys aren't posting every five minutes on et about their alleged positions or greatness.

Exactly as the few very consistent traders I know are. :). Looks like a pattern there.
I do know by experience about the importance of traders of being extremely careful - criminal and terrorist networks are always looking for ways to get funds...
To be honest there are so many ways to be profitable, that the only reason I backtest is really to keep my mind sharp.
The thing about trading : put in as much time and efforts into it, sooner or later one gets it. :)

If you found something that works and you found it by hard work, it is that much sweeter anyway.

Besides, continously doing research is the only thing that works since edges come and go. The real holy grail is your attitude, not any particular system.

In some ways. In other ways they haven't changed since 1990BC.

Agree.

The important things to pay attention too have not changed an iota since Homma Munehisa played Rice.

Like today's double pump fake long bomb with the FED script...
