than tell the truth about TraderBrad. Here's my original post:
Steer waaaaay clear of Traderbrad.
I had my son, who is a successful commodity trader and CTA who has connections to the CFTC, call TraderBrad on the phone to feel him out because we suspected he was faking his trades. My son said he was an idiot- used the "F" word no less than 6 times in a conversation that lasted half an hour (during trading hours of the Eminis). He told my son "the police had been to his home" and wanted to know if my son worked for the CFTC. A very paranoid individual indeed! And most important- "HE DOESN'T EVEN TAKE HIS OWN TRADES" he told my son.
I baited him on his website with every insult I could think of to see IF he would reply, and he did. Many times in fact!
This individual is interested in ONE thing only: send me the money. What kind of fool would send him $5k or $7.5k by WIRE with a no return policy or any PROOF that his service is valid in any way whatsoever?
And more importantly, what kind of website like Elitetrader.com allows such an individual to be a sponsor here and take money from gullible, desperate people? This site is leaving itself wide open to a class action lawsuit. I should know- that's what I've done for a living for the last 30 odd years.
